The inxi output is probably misleading, anyway you don't need the modesetting driver while Nvidia driver active.
Did you try the Mint Display utility instead ?On the Nvidia X setting I cant configure the settings of the monitor.

Thanks for the reply
Display dont find the third monitor in HDMI. If I remove the HDMI connector and insert it again, the Display show it, but if i click in "APPLY" the HDMI monitor is removed and I return two the two monitors again (LCD from the Notebook, and the VGA monitor)
- eDPI-1 and DPI-1 is the name of this two monitors. I can see it with the xrandr command.
Thanks

The modesetting driver is an Xorg built-in driver, you can't remove it. Anyway as the driver is not used removing it would not help. Can't help much for setting up Xorg with 3 displays.

Hello Laurent85,
First I went with my notebook in my office and try configured the 3 monitors with 2 new monitors 1 VGA and 1 HDMI. It configured just perfect. I think that the problem was with my old LCD monitor and the HDMI to VGA Adapter.
The problem with the NVIDIA X Server Settings was that I dont read the message
"PRIME Displays cannot be controlled by nvidia-settings and must be configured by an external RandR capable tool. The display is show in the layout windows above for informational purposes only"
Sorry about my mistake.
Thanks for the Help.
