For some time have I had problems running Kububtu and 3 monitors at the same time on a Nvidia card.

I solved by having each monitor running on each own xserver. That worked fine but certain things where not optimal.

I could only change display configuration by using Nvidia setting and I couldn’t disable the screen saver. Not a big problem but when I was watching TV suddenly I would miss a coal because of the screen saver.

I also have a Wacom tablet. It isn’t very often I use it but the other day there were a question at Ask Ububtu about pressure sensibility and I wanted to the answer question.
I just wanted to test if everything was working fine and to my surprise it was not.

Again I did the BIG investigation and hours went by. I could not the get pressure sensibility to work.

Even Krita wouldn’t work at all with the tablet.

So in the end I tried to remove (rename) the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and reboot.

As the computer was rebooting I was getting grumpy because I suspected the X configuration was the problem and I could not get the 3 monitors to work at the same time.

But Kubuntu booted up, X started and everything looked normal, YES! It works now.
I Just had to goto the Diaplay and Monitor settings and configure the display order to my needs.

Was I one happy little boy and the grumpiness was gone 🙂

I suspect the problem is solved in KDE ver. 4.13.2

To install on Kubuntu add to the repository search:

ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

Or, from a command line:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

Then

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hope you will enjoy!
