16.04 - Dual Monitor not working - How to install Nvidia driver for 2 graphic card - GT630 and GT610? - Ask Ubuntu
resolved!! ubuntu 16.04:
in software additional driver, gt630 - nvidia-340 driver available , gt610 - nvidia-304 available. installing 1 of them doesn't work out both monitors. wonder if can install both , specify driver use specific device because:
solved i'll reply working copy of xorg.conf. kinda messed else after resolved. trying fix this issue now. have backed working copy of xorg.conf.
1) if install nvidia-340 works first monitor, second monitor has no display. if xinerma enabled, secondary monitor has ubuntu logo in center , mouse can moved. window can't moved , no menu bar.
xorg.0.log:
nvidia-1 : no input driver specified, ignoring device. nvidia-1 : device may have been added device file. nouveau being used gt610 default.
if blacklist-nouevea, reboot, rather ubuntu logo, black screen , can move mouse on monitor (x cursor).
2) if install nvidia-304 , restart low graphic memory error , have press alt+shift+f1 , purge nvidia-304 display back.
i guess nvidia-304 not work gt630 , nvidia-340 won't work gt610? , both can't have 2 different drivers????
screen 1 - gt630
screen 2 - gt610
once enable xinerma, can't access display properties (xrandr extension not present). go nvidia-settings , in x server settings, both display enabled , in x screen 0 options both gpu listed). should there x screen 1, gpu gt610 right?
update: can see x screen 1 in nvidia-settings after rebuilt xorg.conf , in lock window, if mouse hover secondary monitor, login prompt switches secondary monitor. can login too. still there problem....
ubuntu logo gone no menu bar , default background on top of everything?. can move window next monitor can't see it. behind default background.. if can predict, can drag window screen 1. if change wallpaper, visible in monitor 1 unless restart lightdm, still stuck background btw.
please suggest me something,.. kinda getting close fix this. know second time i'm installing ubuntu in last 3 months try , fix once , all. need during weekend, if not - switch nouveau drivers or switch windows.
how rebuilt xorg? : opened nvidia-setting , deleted xorg.conf , saved.
if enable base-mosiac secondary monitor disabled , not visible in nvidia-setting. manually tried turn on base-mosiac in xorgs.conf still nothing on secondary monitor.
closest can 340 drives , ubuntu logo centered on secondary monitor.
3) i'd mention nouveva drivers work dual monitor except first monitor, mouse flicker.. 1000 times in minute when playing video, without video couple of 100 times in minute (still annoying). doesn't flicker on secondary monitor.
xorgs.conf - updated

main change 1 line in xorg.conf. both cards using nvidia-340 driver because nouevea blacklisted.
screen 1 "screen1" rightof "screen0" changed screen 1 "screen1" 1440 0 then make read-only during reboot doesn't changed: chmod 440 /etc/x11/xorg.conf
that got second display working. if not case, check pci slot (lshw) of primary monitor , try flipping bus id , boardname. or rather rebuild xorg.conf. open nvidia-setting , delete xorg.conf , click save in nvidia-setting
section "device" identifier "device0" driver "nvidia" vendorname "nvidia corporation" boardname "geforce gt 610" <- before 630 busid "pci:2:0:0" <- before 1:0:0 section "device" identifier "device1" driver "nvidia" vendorname "nvidia corporation" boardname "geforce gt 630" busid "pci:1:0:0" its xorg.conf. play , should work. in case if theme/unity window gets messed up, follow these steps.
steps:
- press ctrl + alt + f1
- sudo service lightdm stop
- rm ~/.config/dconf/user
- sudo service lightdm start
