I am trying to run three monitors on a single Nvidia Quadro K2200 graphics card on a Centos 6 workstation.
Two of the monitors are supposed to be 3D, the main monitor should be just normal on the side.
(image of the 3D system can be found here http://www.3d-display-info.com/planars- ... pping-8700)
-> the 3D monitors are connected at the HDMI-ports via an inverter card, the side (main) monitor via the DVI-port.
If I just run solely the two stereo monitors via the the twinview option they work fine; the single monitor also works fine. I also can run all three side by side.
However as soon as I combine the two settings (main monitor + 3D twinview) in my xorg.conf file, setting them up as two xscreens (xscreen 0= main monitor; xscreen 1 = 3D via Twin view), defining two devices etc, (see below my xorg.conf file) things are getting funny.
- the top monitor of the 3D-sytem is combined with my main screen, with application windows opening left, middle or in the top screen, and the bottom one is the mirror screen.
- checking the nvidia-settings gui the top monitor somehow creeped into the xscreen 0 ?!
- In tried swapping DP-1/DP-2 (nothing changes)
- pluging the main monitor in the HDMI-port and one of the 3D-monitors in the DVI, the 3D doesn't work anymore
So my question: what am I doing wrong? Could the problem be solved by using a second graphics card? Would I need one with identical chip settings (i.e. Quadro K600) or could I also use a quadro FX or gforce card (there might be one laying around...)
Any help is appreciated – I am close to getting crazy! (especially since I was told multiple times that something like that would work fine on Windows!!!)
Thanks a lot!
