Blender + NVIDIA GeForce + Dual Screen 6600 Problems

Hey Arch Community,

this is my first post and i'm also quiet fresh to arch. I installed archbang, and i must say documentations where always there to solve occuring problems.
Except one - Blender with Nvidia Graphic card.

When i open Blender, the welcome screen is already not complete, just half of it. When i render something, it only gives me half output. It's like a evaluation Version of Blender

It's definatly a graphic driver issue. When i installed other drivers - bumblebee & and other Nvidia driver - things worked well in Blender, BUT i could only use one Monitor (meaning showing same image on both monitors).

As far as i could understand, there is a problem about Dual Monitors and Nvidia, since Xinerama isnt support above Kernel Version 3.10.

I tried all repository offering possibilties of drivers i know but it leads to the result: i have a working blender with single screen or a buggy blender with dual screen.

So, does any of you have encountered similar problems and is there anyone who found a solution to it?

Try setting the Powersave-Mode to "Full speed" (don't know the exact name) in the Nvidia-Settings (Powermizer). Have you tried the Open driver (Nouveau)?

Also, this community only supports Arch, not Archbang.

Hopefully you can find your answer in the Wiki, but without running Arch itself, any more posts on this might be headed to the Dustbin. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … pport_ONLY)
