Hi upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10, have generic PC with 2 x GeForce 210, connected to 3 LG monitors.
Xorg.conf worked on and off in 10.4, so was hoping upgrade to 10.10 might be more reliable (oops!) Since 10.10, can't get the 2nd card to appear in nvidia-settings. Right now it only seems to recognize the card & 2 monitors on PCI:1:0:0
