I have been unable to get SUSE 11.2 to see all four of my monitors. This is a new ASUS based system with 2 Navidia based EVGA cards each of which drives two 27" monitors at 1080P. The board has a Navidia video bios, Athlon triple core processor, two PCI Express slots. It is SLI capable… which of course means nothing to me.
All four Samsung 27" monitors run on Windows Vista just fine
SUSE sees both video cards, but only the two monitors on the first card. I have no problems configuring the two monitors it sees any way I want.
I’m wondering if SUSE is trying to use SLI across the two slots, and if this is preventing it from seeing the other two monitors??
I have never had more than two monitors or one video card in a computer and so its hard to know what is wrong though one does wonder what you will do with such a setup? Here is a link in these forums I found on this subject:

you do realize, don’t you, that the driver used in Windows is most
assuredly different from the driver provided by nVidia to the linux
community…
the linux driver may, or may not allow all four monitors (i do NOT know)…
by the way, which graphics driver are you using (i see you have asked
this question now three time here, please ask only once here–and in
none of those do you mention what driver you are using)…
have you installed the nVidia driver, or are you still on the open
source (nv) driver?
[btw, my broker is Ameritrade and i often wish i had four monitors…]
