Issues getting all my monitors working on Mint 18 Cinnamon with Nvidia drivers

Post by reaver »

Ok, so here's the issue.....

I have dual GTX 980's in my system. 2x Asus 1080p monitors hooked up to one card, and my 4k TV hooked up to the second card. Currently, I'm running nvidia driver 387.12 which was installed via the Driver manager.

It's detecting my cards/monitors, but no matter what I do, I can't get a desktop on my second display. Any help you folks could provide would be MUCH appreciated.

Omg.... I'm an idiot. I solved my own problem. I didn't realize the monitors were being run by different cards. I've since moved them to the same card, and all is well.
