Hi,
I am struggling to make work my new Debian Squezze installation on my workhorse.
Problem is X setup and its interaction with desktops.
I have two VGAs:
* intel embedded in my i7 CPU
* external NVidia GTX770
Each of them drives 2 monitors for a grand total of 4.
I managed to have partial victory in the sense:
I can have dual monitor using *either* intel *or* nvidia
or I can have all four, but then gnome crashes somehow ("Oh no! Something went wrong...") while X is ok.
In the "working" cases xrandr dees only the two active monitors.
I also installed Xfce which works happily with the same config where Gnome crashes, but shows only the nvidia monitors with mirroring and xrandr does not work at all.
I am now writing from Win7 (with all monitors correctly working!) and thus I have no access to actual files.
Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Mauro

Use at least Debian 8, for a start.

I am currently on "stretch" (testing).
Same behavior.
I seem unable to activate two cards at the same time.
With no /etc/X11/xorg.config I see the internal (Intel) card (no signal on nvidia monitors).
If I add explicit NVidia setup then the other two monitors come to life *after login*; gdm3 always displays on the intel monitors; after login the intel monitors go dark (but they have syncs).
I can't be more precise at the moment because I'm on Win7.
