<div dir="ltr">Greetings<br>
Running debian buster (testing) using lxqt. Have 3 nvidia 570 gpus and 4
1920x1080 monitors. Found that there were some issues with proprietary
drivers nvidia 375.66 - - - was having one gpu halt and upon reboot
things seemed to work again. The time between reboots was getting down
to less than 12 hrs when I landed up with a system with corrupted
networking on a reboot. So in the process of re-install I decided to try
the Nouveau drivers instead. So now I have a one gpu 2 monitor system
available. Got to very much like the four monitors for my work layout so
I want the other two monitors working.<br>
<br>
Using xrandr I can see Provider 0,1 and 2.<br>
DVI-I-1 and DVI-I-2 are connected.<br>
DVI-I-2-5 and DVI-I-2-6 are listed as disconnected.<br>
<br>
I have been able to create a virtual screen of 3840 x 3000 which is how I had things before.<br>
Tried $ xrandr --addmode DVI-I-2-5 1920x1080<br>
then DVI-I-2-5 still shows as disconnected but with a resolution of 1920x1080 60.00<br>
Next I tried $ xrandr --output VGA-2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1280x1280 --rotate inverted<br>
result - - warning: output VGA-2 not found; ignoring<br>
<br>
Any information I haven't provided that would help others help me?<br>
<br>
I can't find any guides on how to setup xrandr to use multiple gpus AND
more than 2 or 3 monitors (usually from only 1 gpu). Most of the randr
information I can find is for at newest randr 1.3 and I have 1.5.<br>
<br>
I've found <br>
<a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt?id=randrproto-1.5.0#n160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/pr...oto-1.5.0#n160</a> <br>
likely everything I need is hidden in this file but for the life of me I
can't figure out what commands to use. If I were an expert I wouldn't
be asking but I'm not and there are no examples to follow (or try).<br>
<br>
Suggestions please?<br>
<br>
TIA</div>
