Hello!
I'm trying to get to work triple monitors setup.
I'm using 2x GeForce 210 videocards and latest nouveau driver, but I can not get all 3 monitors to work.
According to nouveau feature matrix it have support of multicards and dual head setup, so I think that I've missing something in my configuration.
I've have this setup: two GeForce 210 using 1 VGA and 1 HDMI on first and 1 HDMI on second adapter.
If I run Xorg without any config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, it's run perfectly with dualhead setup, using only first videocard (but log says that second was initialized too):

It seems that everything is ok, but I've have only 1 screen working (2 monitors plugged in first adapter).
When I try to do some manual configuration, I've have to work both adapters, but second screen on first adapter is not working for some reason.

So, my question is: is there anyone who get multihead setup works well with nouveau? What I'm missing here?
I'm messing with this problem around a year (later I'm using proprietary nvidia driver, but latest version are crashing for no reason randomly), and it's pretty annoying, so I will appreciate any help...
Thank for attention.

My triple head display was working with nouveau and bumblebee before Xorg 1.13
I've the same error message...

Never mind, works well with nvidia 310.19-2 and xorg-server 1.13.0-4.

Try to use proprietary drivers, but make sure, that nouveau is blacklisted and not loaded at KMS.
This works for me.
