Hello Linux world!
I’ve run into my first problem that I don’t think I can solve on my own. I have 6 monitors hooked up to 3 different graphics cards using displayport (not daisy chained). They are all the same model graphics cards (Nvidia NVS 310 DisplayPort 1.2). I’ve been using Xrandr to configure my screens but the issue I’m having is that only 4 will work at once in secondary monitor/extended screen mode. I have successfully enabled mirrored mode on all 6 monitors at once but when I try to extend my desktop to all 6 my x-server crashes. Right now I can use extended desktop with any four monitors I’d like as long as 2 are shut off.
Anyone else have this issue or know what is limiting me?
Xrandr config below.
