http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have an laptop HP Elitebook 8540p and i can't make ubuntu to work with 3 monitors(Laptop, Acer,LG). I have Nvidia NVS 5100M video board. When i'm trying to use twin view i've got the message : MetaMode 1 of Screen 0 has more than 2 active display devices. I searched about this problem but i couldn't find anything to solve my problem. With 2 monitors work fine(laptop and any of other two). The xorg.conf file looks like : # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 295.33 (buildd@allspice) Fri Mar 30 1 (Hardware)

Hi,

I'm running openSuse 11.3 x64 on my Lenovo y550p laptop. I have built in laptop display, some external display connected with d-sub and TV connected with HDMI via sound receiver. And I can't make my system works with all these monitors together. I need HDMI connected all time because I prefer to use my receiver instead of laptop speakers for audio output.

I've installed Fedora 17 and installed the necessary libraries and drivers for my nVidia card:
