Tried to setup three monitors, drivers and everything woks fine, desktop even appears there on login screen but when I login to my user account 3rd monitor stays black (I can see mouse pointer on it but can't move any windows or see background).

Hello!

It would be helpful for us to know:

1. What flavor and release of Ubuntu you are using.
2. The manufacturer and model of your GPU.
3. What driver you have installed.

Cheers!

16.04 desktop, gpus are nvidia gtx 970 and intel onboard graphics with native drivers. I do not think problem with drivers - I can move mouse pointer to 3rd montor and if I select it as only display it shows desktopjust fine, but now with two others....
May be someone knows where in X server config you can say how big your desktop is and where put wallpaper/windows.
