[SOLVED] Problem connecting third monitor

view story
linux-howto

http://crunchbanglinux.org – For some reason I cannot seem to connect three monitors to my system. My ATI Radeon HD 7770 card has four ports to connect monitors. 1 HDMI 1 Display Port and 2 DVI. Currently I have one monitor (flat screen) connected to the HDMI port with a HDMI to DVI adapter. I have DVI to VGA adapters for my other two monitors (CRTs). When I plug all three monitors in my first DVI to VGA connection works while my second one doesn't. I can guarantee that all adapters and monitors are working because I can switch the place of the two CRT connections and still have the same problem (First connection wor (HowTos)

Hello I've been seraching a lot in the web about my problem but I haven't been able to find a solution.

I have an ATI RADEON HD 6870, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity and AMD Catalyst 11.12,and I have 2 monitors Samsung S20A300BS connected by the DVI port and a LG TV 32LD450 connected by the HDMI port.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor machine with an Intel DH67BL monitor, Ivy Bridge i5-3450 CPU and dual Samsung 204b monitors.

I cant seem to get the computer to recognize more than one of these monitors at a time.

I can get either monitor to work using the DVI port directly or with a DVI-VGA cable, or by using the HDMI port with an HDMI-DVI cable.

I managed to sort of get them working by sub

I just built new PC:

AMD 8350 CPU ASUS sabertooth motherboard Nvidia GTX 650 graphics card Ubuntu 12.10

System boots fine and desktop is fine using VGA connection, but there is no HDMI video output to the monitor (HP w2207h) using the Nouveau drivers.

Tried a second other type of monitor with HDMI and had the same thing "NO SIGNAL".

So I used "System Settings" and changed from Nouveau driver

Hello!

I'm looking for a bit of help getting a 3 monitor set up using Ubuntu 11.04, I have a (64-bit) DELL Latitude e6420 - specs - The graphics card is an 'Intel® HD Graphics 3000'. I can use the VGA port to add an additional monitor, but I would like to add a further monitor.

I have an HDMI port, but adding a monitor on this doesn't work.

I have a video-adapter(Dell MMH11) that is connected to the display-port of my graphics card. The adapter identifies itself to the graphics card as a 3840x1200 display. The adapter has two monitors connected to it (monitor resolution=1920x1200). A third monitor is connected directly on the graphics card DVI port(same resolution).

I just assembled a new computer with an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU and I am using the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor. I have an Asus P8Z68V-LE mother board that has a VGA, DVI and HDMI output. I have a Samsung monitor to the DVI port and an Acer monitor connected to the HDMI port.

A few days ago, I found an old VGA monitor lying around (undamaged, since it worked when I booted Windows 7).

So I have a lenovo T510 laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.

I can run dual monitors with my main display and internal, but not internal and displayport.

The displayport is connected to a dp to HDMI converter, which works perfectly in windows.

In Ubuntu, when I connect the TV, the internal screen works, but the TV goes white, and the adapter gets really hot after a while.

I have setup two monitors in my system. One is powered by the HDMI port and the other one is powered by the normal Analogue port of the same GPU (Nvidia Ge-force 210). I just setup twin display in Nvidia settings but can't see the cinnamon's panel on the second monitor. How to fix this?
