Is it possible to run three monitors (2 on nvidia, 1 on intel) on Linux like win7 does?

Question

linux

I remember trying, there were problems and I spat, then they were chopped off on one, then they were chopped off on the other, then there was a bunch of artifacts. Is it possible to run normally, with drivers and without artifacts and without separate x's for each video card?

Answer 1

You can, of course. But since physically different video cards, you will have to run two X-servers (one for nVidia, the other for Intel). All three screens are specified in xorg.conf, and for the first two we write nvidia as the module used, for the last one - the corresponding intel.

Answer 2

You can do it like mine (multiseat): 2xorg.conf and an entry in kdmrc (I used lightdm before, but after the update "flew")
[X-:0-Core]
AutoLoginAgain=false
AutoLoginDelay=0
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoLoginLocked=false
AutoLoginUser=%username1%
ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors
ServerVT=5
ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X0 vt5 -br -sharevts -novtswitch -isolateDevice PCI:5:0:0 -config xorg0.conf
[X-:1-Core ]
AutoLoginAgain=false
AutoLoginLocked=false
AutoLoginUser=%username2%
ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors
ServerVT=6
ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X1 vt6 -br -novtswitch -isolateDevice PCI:0:2:0 -config xorg1.conf
Only I have Radeon + Intel, but it's not essential.

Answer 3

I remember a couple of years ago I had a Debian table with XFCE and I connected 2 monitors, 1 to a discrete Gifors 210, the second to the Giforce 6100 integrated into the motherboard (both via VGA), there were proprietary nVIDIA firewood, no additional actions were required, after loading the image appeared on both monitors, and in DE for each there were separate settings for panels and other things.
