I just stuck in another GPU to run two screens.
$ lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
but running xrandr I only see the first one:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TV-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
1920x1200 60.0*+
1680x1050 60.0
1600x1200 60.0
1440x900 75.0 59.9
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1280x800 74.9 59.8
1024x768 75.0 60.0
800x600 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 59.9
And running gksudo nvidia-settings I only see the one GPU.
I found something about enabling two GPUs in the nvidia drivers so I tried this:
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig -a
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia1 (Input/output error).
WARNING: Unable to use the nvidia-cfg library to query NVIDIA hardware.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of GPUs in system; cannot honor '--enable-all-gpus' option.
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
Any help highly appreciated!
