First of all, I tried Invisible's "fix":
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 76#p789776
but with no avail.. startx I get all three screens running just fine but I can only "use" one monitor even though all three are working (I can see wallpapers I set them to)
I think that all of these "outputs" should help...
nvidia-settings -q screens outputs:
3 X Screens on localhost:0
[0] localhost:0.0 (GeForce GTX 260)
[1] localhost:0.1 (GeForce GTX 260)
[2] localhost:0.2 (GeForce 9800 GT)
DFP-0, 1 are both connected to same card (GTX260)
CRT-1 is VGA out 9800GT
xrandr --output DFP-1 --auto --right-of DFP-0
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
warning: output DFP-1 not found; ignoring

I would suggest getting rid of all the EE and WWs that you have in the log. Fix them all and then try again. You are trying to load a bunch of things in Xorg.conf which are no longer necessary. In fact, xorg.conf itself is no longer necessary. Remove the xorg.conf and simply list your monitor resolutions in 10-monitor.conf.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

nvidia-settings, see screenshots
how do am I supposed to grab the other two outputs if xrandr is giving me just one?
Edit:
hmm, xrandr --screen 1, 2 & 3 all gives me "default"

This link might be of a little help
http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?31,159551
Take a look at my 10-monitor.conf file (in the link that you posted in your first post in this thread). It only lists the monitor name and the GPU that will handle it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Start with my 10-monitor.conf (of course change the names and GPU drivers to whatever you have)

I must be blind or something, but in that thread, all I see is your xorg.conf file that you posted
I'm assuming I'm commenting out Monitors & Devices in xorg.conf?

ever since xorg 1.8, you don't need the xorg.conf (although you can keep one if you want) What ever I have in that xorg.conf, can be copy-pasted into 10-monitor.conf and it would still work the same way. But if you are more comfortable with an xorg.conf, then by all means create a new xorg.conf using the settings I have. i.e Remove all the extra fluff about input devices keyboards mice and other module loaders.
Use the KISS principle

Alright, I've used yours and edited to my setup, now only one screen is "working" the other three are offline
Edit: I'm think I have to have a Section for serverlayout?

This doesn't exactly work as I wanted it to in i3 but I switched back to dwm as it was working as I wanted it to.
When I start dwm, each monitor has its own set of tags with the multimonitor patch (on my github). I can move all windows freely from one monitor to another via hotkey or mouse, but each window will tile to its own monitor.
Thanks for the help
