    Exclamation Triple monitor setup two video cards

    Hey guys.

    I have a two video cards unfortunately they aren't the same, one is Nvidia the other is ATI so that makes it more difficult ...

    System can see both cards here is my lspci:

    http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370231/

    What is good way to make all of them work ? I have seen lot of info on the web but they all lack how to do it another words there is not good guide or documentation out there ...

    I tried configuration with open source driver and with nvidia proprietary driver as well but no luck whatsoever


    P.s two monitor works out of box can't get third one working though

    I don't think you can get ATI/nVidia cards to work together to display the same desktop. Maybe different X sessions. If you really want 3 monitors, spend 20$ on another card, nVidia or ATI (pick your poison).

    Hey thanks for your replay

    I don't think you can get a Pci express video card for that price ...

    I can buy a mini hdmi to vga converter since nVidia card has a mini hdmi port available http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-...I2SHBV2YBWZT8T

    Do you think this will work out of box ?
