Hello,
Does anyone knows WHY I can't enable my 3rd and 4th monitor on Ubuntu 10.04? Does it have anything to do with xorg?
I can easily do it in Windows! In ubuntu ATI control center will recognize the 3rd monitor but DO NOT let me enable it... the same about the video card!
I tried to do it manually changing xorg.conf but it totally ignores it!
I found this thread:
http://superuser.com/questions/139818/ubuntu-10-04-not-detecting-multiple-monitors
Does it have anything to do with XRandR ???
I managed to get the Crossfire working and enable it after put two identical cards. I've tried adding a 3rd card to even try a 4th monitor but it will not let me at ALL... WHY THIS?? I can do it in Windows but I do not want to use Windows!!!
This is really frustrating! Why do not allow to use more than 2 monitors???
I'm running a clean new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and I've installed the ubuntu drivers for my video card. I've a double ATI HD 5770 (crossfire) and a third video card in the motherboard (Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3).
My idea is to have 4 monitors, 3 in the crossfire and one in the motherboard. I've managed to do it in windows but in linux I can get max of two monitors working... :/
