Triple Monitors (working, but to get it PERFECT)

[Nex]

Hi, all.

I've been struggling to get this new setup that I have to work. I, a former Slacker, just started using lunar (great so far) and to top it off, I have a new amazing 3 monitor rig. one is a Sceptre Naga III 20.1" widescreen, the others are Dell 17" monitors (The models escape me.). They're all LCD. Now, after a lot of tweaking, investigating, tears, blackeyes (not mine, RedKennedy's. I just had to punch something and he was nearby), and a good deal of help from Moe, the setup worked. If I'd had alsa configured at that point, I would have blasted the Hallelujah chorus as loudly as possible. However, one thing I've noticed is that the two monitors on the left (one 17" and the 21" are one big desktop. I can drag windows between the two beautifully. However, the third monitor (another 17" on the right) is its own desktop and I cannot move windows to it. Twinview was enabled, and I tried what I thought would enable Xinerama to see if that would change it (changed TwinView to Xinerama in the load option section), but it didn't. Does anyone have any ideas? I'll post my xorg.conf file once I get home from my corporate workplace and can access it. Damn them for blocking SSH.

Thanks

You cannot "twinview" three monitors unless your video card supports this. "twinview" is a hardware feature that only works for the ports on the card, so there is no way to twinview two monitors connected to two single cards together.

you *can* connect a twinview set to a single monitor using xinerama (you'd get :0 (being :0.0 and :0.1) and :1 together).

Check out xinerama howto's on how to do this.

alternatively, you can xinerama all 3 monitors together (:0, :1 and :2 where now twinview is disabled completely).
