I attached my TV to my GTX580 with an HDMI cable and configured the settings with nvidia-settings. Suddenly my other monitor went blank.
I did some digging and it appears that the card only supports 2 screens at a time (despite having 4 ports). There have been some workarounds that make 2 screens appear as one (namely Xinerama: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … #Xinerama) but they don't work with the current proprietary drivers, and the old compatible proprietary drivers don't work with the current kernel. GTX660 and onwards does seem to support 3 monitors on one card but I have no real reason to upgrade right now.
So is there an alternative to Xinerama that would achieve the same effect? Alternatively, I have a CPU with Intel HD Graphics, is it possible to somehow use one screen with it and two other screens with the graphics card?
