AVLinux only finds one of three monitors

[AVLinux]

Would it be possible for you to download and try a Live boot of regular MX Linux (XFCE4 version)? If your monitors also are not working with 'pure' MX then we'll know it's not just limited to AV Linux and if they do work with MX then we will know if it's specific to AV Linux.. I run AV Linux on two different multi-head systems and it works as expected so I'm unfortunately a little puzzled about how to get things working for you..

Though I don't know why it does it ootb on Ubuntu but not on MX / AV :

If still not: you may (sadly) need to do it manually:

Mosaic mode

Mosaic mode is the only way to use more than 2 monitors across multiple graphics cards with compositing. Your window manager may or may not recognize the distinction between each monitor. Mosaic mode requires a valid SLI configuration. Even if using Base mode without SLI, the GPUs must still be SLI capable/compatible.

download and try a Live boot of regular MX Linux (XFCE4 version)?

Downloading now ... will probably need help in producing a bootable USB Stick, never tried that before (although I prepared one for the upcoming new AVLinux)

You can use the "Live Usb Maker" on AV .

Is there a way from inside Linux to choose the disc to start from ... "Press the ThinkVantage button to interrupt normal startup" and i press and press but I end up in AVLinux. tried three times no

Yes it's no AV Linux thing ... in MX Wildflower, there is only one possible screen.

So much ado about nothing. Sorry to have taken your time. Hope you'll forget all this when I come up with the next problem

Thank you all very much.

Hello ! I have a similar problem with dual monitors.

I created a usb using persistence and remaster on my home PC with dual monitors. Everything fine

I load the AVLinux on my laptop, make some changes, save persistence and remaster, everything fine.

Now when I plug it back in my PC I have to boot using failsafe nomodeset or I get a hanging black screen after everything as been booting fine.

Only one monitor shows up and I can't seem to be able to change resolution , like on my PC AVLinux install, 1920x1080 16:9 is what it is set to and is fine.
I don't have this option when trying to change it with display running off usb on home PC, it is dead set at 1024x768 4:3 .
I am tempted to use Nvidia driver installer but I don't want to mess my perfectly fine usb AVLinux.

Is there any info about this somewhere I'm pretty sure it is a setting thing ?

In case Nvidia driver was installed, you need to use xorg=nvidia as boot parameter (on live usb only).

But, we know nothing regarding your system without the "Quick System Info".

But, we know nothing regarding your system without the "Quick System Info".

So my main problems are that I can't change resolution and second monitor is not picked up.
If Nvidia was installed, I did not do it. So my guess is no but here is the info:
