Hi. I have been working on this for weeks and could not advance any more. I will really appreciate the help (pulling my hair out here!)
I have 2 GeForce cards, a GT710 and a 210. Driving 6 monitors. 4 on the 710. Using last driver that supports them both (right?) 340.108.
Display app does not see the two monitors on the 210 and Nvidia-settings shows them as disabled and orange and only gives the option of putting them in a new Xscreen. I have done a lot of things things in this forum and others, anything I can but have ended up having to reinstall everything a couple of times. I am giving up doing it on my own. I really need some step by step guidance here, don’t want to mess it all up again. I’ll send all info requested quickly. Thank you.
(Everything works in windows without issue).
