Graphics Card: NVidia 460 GTX.

Driver: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)

I have one DVI monitor, an old Dell LCD from 2005, and one VGA monitor, an Asus ML238H from 2010 whose HDMI port broke. The Asus is plugged into my graphics card's primary monitor slot and is the better monitor even though it is VGA but my computer defaults to the Dell.

[ubuntu] Dual Monitor Issue 46 weeks 1 day ago

I have a Asus hd monitor plugged into my nvidia card and a monitor plugged into my intel graphics card. I have this setup because the second monitor is an older apple cinema plasma display with a dvi interface. It's interface will not fit next to my Asus monitor on the gpu. In windows I can get a dual monitor setup no problem. My motherboard is a Z68 Gigabyte.

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 had a system running 12.04 with a Radeon HD4870, and had the monitors correctly setup.

I'm trying to setup dual 23'' dell ultrasharp monitors in 12.04 and have run into a few difficulties. I'm running a Radeon 7970 HD graphics card, and am using the latest catalyst at the moment.

I have a dual monitor machine at work that I use to write code, run scripts, and plot results. The amount of plotting can be quite demanding. I have ran out of video memory a couple of times (its either 1 or 2 gb). I wan't to extend this setup to have quad monitors by adding a another graphics card, but I am unsure of a few things.

Hi I have 2 amd graphics cards (1 integrated, other one is through the pci) and on windows it works fine, but if I install either one of the amd propitiatory drivers it works on both screens but unity gets messed up, and the system runs very buggy.

Hi

I have an old DELL PC with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 2 dual DVI connectors. The card has 512mb memory.

The PC dual boots Fedora 18 and now Ubuntu 13.04.

Currently running a 1920x1080 monitor, looking to upgrade to a 2560x1440 Samsung monitor.

Question is will Fedora 18 support the native resolution of 2560x1440 on the above graphics card?

My computer is a HP dv6 with 8gb ram, 500gb hdd and a amd radeon hd 6480 graphics card and dual core cpu. Now here is my problem: When I try to run some programs such as gucvie and xbmc, the screen blinks on and off every few. I have tried using both the opensource & proprietary drivers for my graphics card. Running these programs in terminal displays no errors. Any clues here?
