Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
yes you are right!! i am so stupid, i forgot it didnt work, i just finished trying it and i remember now it crashes on nvidia and nouveau drivers,
i tried your 2 new files, but they had problems,
1st file
- the same problem happened as the other files, except this time, the icons were on a different monitor,
2nd file
- i could move freely between the all, but when i expanded firefox it went to all monitors, and then when i move the desktop icons, it froze,

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
Is the primary monitor correct, the one with the menu and panel?
I wonder if you create a desktop launcher by right clicking on the desktop and using the command to open Firefox (firefox %u), if it can be moved to another monitor.
You can also test using different Window Managers in Desktop Settings. The default is

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
it works!!!!!!!!!!!! but i did find 1 bug,
Your last file didn't work at the start, but then i did what you told me, i went into desktop settings and i changed the theme, i forget what setting i had it to,
but i changed it to "Megacity" and now it works.
i can maximize, i move firefox to all screens, and i can move all my desktop icons to any screen!
The bug i did find is, that when i watch a movie or video on vlc player, the video plays really slow, and my computer starts to become super slow, everything is lagging, so i cant watch videos or movies,
which isnt a big deal since i dont often download movies anymore, youtube works perfect, no problems with youtube
i had to switch my screens around in the nvdia settings, they were not beside each other the way i wanted to, everything works except the video.
here is my final file
is there any settings which can help the video?

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
This console kit thing seems to be using alot of ram, i read online that has to do with video? maybe i can disable it?
Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
i tried the same video on the kodi player and doesn't lag my computer,
Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
For VLC video problems, open VLC and go to
Also go to
You can also install
Tools > Preferences > Video
and first try disabling Accelerated video output
(Overlay). Then try another selection, such as X11 and XVideo. The default setting may be Automatic. For some selections, you may have to disable the Accelerated video output (Overlay) too.Also go to
Tools > Preferences > Input and Codecs
. The setting next to Hardware-accelerated decoding
is set to Automatic. You can test other selections.You can also install
mplayer
. I use it play that occasional video file that VLC can't play:Code: Select all
sudo apt install mplayer
Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
hmm i disabled the video output overly but i was not able to choose any of the other settings, other than automatic,
its doesn't matter anymore, because i installed mplayer and it works! all the videos play smoothly, so i uninstalled vlc
everything is working great now!!!!! i am so happy
thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
i will try this on the weekend and let you know, it's also possible i may of found another bug
Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
hello sir!! sorry i was not able to test it fast, but i had some exams, i am ready to test again!!
i have just finished testing it and i can tell you that the LAST file you sent me is working! working better than all the other ones before
the one that was working before, it had a glitch, i was not able to delete the workspaces, when you first install mint, it comes with 4 default workspaces, i deleted 2 because 2 is all i need, but when i tried your file, the 4 workspaces came back! and i was not able to delete them, it was stuck on 4
but the last file you sent me, is working, no glitch, there is a problem with an application called "Open Bazaar" when i try to move it, it flickers aways, so i have to keep it maximized at all times, but i dont use that application often,
but yes! the last file is working! on all 5 monitors!
how can i add another monitor? i added another monitor tonight, and its working fine, but 2 monitors when i expanded expanded on 2 monitors,
it seems the 2 orange monitors are acting as one when i maximize but i can move firefox and any application from all 6 monitors!! YAY!
here is the final xorg file

The first file didn't work correctly, both of the 2 monitors were black, the other 4 monitors were fine
When i removed the Screen 5 line, both monitors were black, the other 4 monitors were fine
When i removed the Screen 4 line, 1 monitor was black and the other one was working, except my mouse was not able to go into it, the other 4 monitors were fine
I'm not sure if i removed the line correctly, here's how it looks
when i edit the file the terminal says:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
For xrandr command it says: RandR extension missing

it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i tried your last code, but the 2 monitors were black, so i went into the nvidia settings and enabled them, then i logged in and out and your code is working!
The primary monitor is X screen 2, DFP-5 on GPU-0
i wasn't sure what you meant about Xorg.0.log because i couldn't find it, but i think i found it, it was in the /var/log folder
Is it safe to post that file here? there seems to be alot of strange numbers inside that file pertaining to my computer

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
xinerama is really slow compared to not using it,
even my dolphin emulator lags when using xinerama, but if i disable xinerama, it doesn't lag
why is xinerama slow compared to not using it,
do you think it's because i have to different type of video cards?
would xinerama performance improve if i had 2 gtx 970's,
what if i sli both those cards,
would it be faster then of what i currently have now, 1 gtx 970 and 1 gtx 640
i really wish i had a way to test but none of my friends have a gtx 970, and i looked online but they are all around 300, ive seen someone for 150 but they go fast, i would buy one for 150
any idea?

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
i just realized that if i sli 2 gtx 970s, i wouldn't be able to use 8 monitors, because when you sli 2 video cards it turns it into 1 video card, so i would only be able to use 4 monitors,
so the only questions are,
1. i wonder if 2 video cards of the same type would make a different if i used them in xinerama,
2. i wonder if i could move applications throughout all monitors without using xinerama if i had 2 of the same video cards, although i doubt it because they are on different gpu's (gpu-0, gpu-1)

Re: 2 graphic cards, multiple monitors possible?
well i ended up buying a second gt640.. and the results are in....
it doesn't work as i expected!
so, 2 of the same model video cards act the same as two different model video cards in linux
so, as soon i got the video card, i installed it along side my gt 640, so i had 2 gt 640's
1. i tried using the nouveau drivers, and it worked! i could move apps from monitor to monitor, but only about 2 or 4 monitors, after that it was slowing down, and i couldn't even enable some monitors,
theres way too many glitches using the nouveau drivers using the same mode video cards, and with different video cards it was even worse, i couldn;t even get the second video cards to work,
2. i tried nvidia drivers without xinerama, and i could move apps from monitor to monitor as along as the monitors were on the same video cards, if not, i was not able to, it worked the same as different video cards
3. with cinerama, enable, i could move apps from monitor to monitor, but it was way too glitchy way way way too glitchy,
well what a downer! linux just isnt good with multiple monitors, more than 2 monitors, nvidia drivers are not good either with multiple monitors on linux
the only solution that i have is to buy a video cards that supports the most monitors, or go back to windows
pny nvs 810 supports 8 monitors but it is 800 usd, too much money! i might end up purchasing that card if there is a sale
windows is still king for multiple monitors
it doesn't work as i expected!

1. i tried using the nouveau drivers, and it worked! i could move apps from monitor to monitor, but only about 2 or 4 monitors, after that it was slowing down, and i couldn't even enable some monitors,
theres way too many glitches using the nouveau drivers using the same mode video cards, and with different video cards it was even worse, i couldn;t even get the second video cards to work,
2. i tried nvidia drivers without xinerama, and i could move apps from monitor to monitor as along as the monitors were on the same video cards, if not, i was not able to, it worked the same as different video cards
3. with cinerama, enable, i could move apps from monitor to monitor, but it was way too glitchy way way way too glitchy,
well what a downer! linux just isnt good with multiple monitors, more than 2 monitors, nvidia drivers are not good either with multiple monitors on linux
the only solution that i have is to buy a video cards that supports the most monitors, or go back to windows
pny nvs 810 supports 8 monitors but it is 800 usd, too much money! i might end up purchasing that card if there is a sale
windows is still king for multiple monitors
