How to use integrated graphics and discrete

I want to drive three displays 1 2560x1600 and 2 1280x1024's the easy way to go about this is to just buy a card that'll drive three displays but I don't want to spend the money soooo

I have a Gigabyte Q77 D2H, Celeron 1610 w/hd2500 and a GTX 260. My thoughts were to drive 2 from the old 260 and 1 off the IGP the problem is that doesn't work. When I read everyone has an eye to graphics switching on laptops any ideas?

Re: How to use integrated graphics and discrete

I went through a similar pain recently.  Assuming that your hardware supports having both display devices enabled at the same time, set up the IGP using the modesetting driver.  This doc should have everything you need to get set up:
