How to connect 3 monitors to 2 Nvidia cards in Ubuntu?
Good afternoon!
Faced such problem, I can't connect 3rd monitor on Ubuntu 16.04 with native Nvidia 3xx drivers.
Two monitors (on one video card) are recognized and work, but the third (second video card) is not recognized.
The cards are connected by an SLI bridge. Setup : * Acer
G246HYL
(1920x1080) | x3
*Nvidia GTX780 | x2
* Ubuntu 16.04
* Nvidia drivers 361.42
I understand that the problem is most likely with xconf, but my knowledge is critically lacking (so I ask you to chew like a fool). If it does not complicate you, please write the required config for xconf.

In SLI mode, video outputs of only one video card are used. For three-monitor work, you will either need to remove the bridge or add a third video camera.
