This info is from this Nvidia web page: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/349.12/README/xconfigoptions.html Option "MultiGPU" "string" This option controls the configuration of Multi-GPU rendering in supported configurations. Value Behavior 0, no, off, false, Single...

I see that Xfce doesn't have the Mirror Displays option. Would you post some additional info. Use these commands in the Terminal: 1. inxi -Fx 2. xrandr 3. Use this command to open the “ Xorg.0.log ” file, or open the Log File Viewer : gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log Press Ctrl+A to select the entire file ...

According to the info on this Nvidia web page, using two identical Nvidia GPUs should allow OpenGL rendering on both screens: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/349.12/README/xineramaglx.html It also says: “ The maximum OpenGL viewport size is 16384x16384 pixels ”. Can you post the xorg...

You may just have incompatible hardware, such as the motherboard and it's BIOS. Did you try using these other kernel parameters. Then can be tried in the same grub boot config line that you tested nomodeset xforcevesa : acpi=off nolapic nolapic acpi=off noapic pci=noacpi pci=biosirq If that doesn't ...

Can you get to the desktop using the instructions here, under Solving freezes with NVIDIA GeForce GPUs:

I don't see a TwinView option in Nvidia Settings when 2 monitors are connected. That configuration should automatically be used by the Nvidia driver unless the checkbox next to Mirror Displays is marked in System Settings > Display , or there is an existing xorg.conf file with this line: Option &quo...

Also i don't think that I have completely removed the Nvidia 361 driver To check that, use this command: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video You should not see these two files: nvidia.ko nvidia-uvm.ko The log file shows the nvidia-340.96 driver is now being used. Let's go back to the be...

I'm a little confused. After reading your first post, I assumed you had installed a Nvidia driver from it's website, but then removed it and wanted to restore the nouveau driver but was having difficulty. But then you say in your 3rd post: “ But now my PC works just fine on nvidia 340 driver ,”. In ...

That command should have been:
That's assuming you used the nvidia-361.28 driver. There's also the nvidia-361.18 and 361.16 drivers. The command is used after stopping the display manager, using this command:

The nvidia-361 driver doesn't support the GeForce GT 320M graphics card. The nvidia-340 driver supports it. Did you remove the driver in the virtual console tty1 by using this command: Nvidia-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run --uninstall If you did remove the driver that way, then use this command to reinstal...

1. Did you previously install the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia's website?

2. Use this command in the Terminal and post the output: inxi -Fx

Did you see the error message both before and after removing the xorg.conf file. The line: “ BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) ” appears to be related to the horizontal and vertical frequency range values, but the values in the xorg.conf file are the correct values from the mon...

When executing your command above, I found this folder that I haven't seen before. Do you remember the name of the folder? However, I can't seem to make changes to the resolution in the Nvidia x server settings. Perhaps I should delete the file that I've created previously? Open the utility with th...

The nouveau driver should be enabled. Use this command in the Terminal: xrandr --verbose Copy the lines under the EDID section, which will look like this: 00ffffffffffff001e6deb4b56660000 0215010380251e78ea2ee5a4574a9c25 115054a54b80314f454f614f81800101 010101010101302a009851002a403070 1300782d11000...

Would you first use this command to check for nvidia_304.ko , to see if the Nvidia kernel module was built, or nvidia_current.ko may be listed instead: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ When I saw “ Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module ” in the first log file, I was skeptical th...

You posted the xorg.conf file. Use this command to open the “Xorg.0.log” file, or open the Log File Viewer:
You can post it to pastebin.com again if you have a problem posting it in the forum.

Post a new Xorg.0.log file and also the output of using this command:

Were you able to get a 1680 x 1050 resolution previously? The log file shows the VESA graphics driver is being used. There may be a problem with the Nvidia driver installation: [ 52.925] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your [ 52.925] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel lo...

You need to post some additional information: 1. Use this command in the Terminal: inxi -Fx 2. The brand and model number of the monitor, and how is it connected, including any adapter. 3. Use this command to open the “ Xorg.0.log ” file, or open the Log File Viewer : gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log That ...

I think it is an issue with 17.3 and that I should wait for Mint 18 and a new release of Cinnamon I doubt that will fix the Fallback Mode problem. Usually Xorg's Xinerama feature needs to be used in a custom xorg.conf file when connecting monitors to two different GPUs. Nvidia says in THIS WEB PAGE...
