I have 3 monitors attached to my graphics card, a Nvidia 650ti, and in my new installation everything seemed to working fine except the screen saver.<\/p>\n
When the screen saver was activated then 2 monitors was flashing on and off and the last monitor on the HDMI connection was turned off and would not get alive when it went of screen saver mode.<\/p>\n
I found out when I configured the graphic card to use separate X screens the problem was solved.<\/p>\n
To do that:<\/p>\n
1. Start the nvidia-settings<\/strong> and under \r\n \"X Server Display Configuration\"->Configuration \r\n<\/strong>2. select \"Separate X screen (requieres X restart)\"<\/strong> \r\n3. Also Enable Xinerama<\/strong> under \"X Server Display Configuration\"<\/strong><\/pre>\nYou can’t just apply these setting and you will have to save it in “\/etc\/X11\/xorg.conf” configuration file and restart the X-server.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have xorg.xonf file then one can be generated by running:<\/p>\n
$> sudo nvidia-xconfig<\/strong><\/pre>\nI prefer to reboot after this change but it can also be done by restarting the X-server.
\nOn Kubuntu (save everything as your session will be killed):<\/p>\n$> sudo service lightdm restart.<\/strong><\/pre>\nNow once the X-server is restarted you might have the same problem as I do: Only English keyboard layout.<\/p>\n
The can be fixed by either change the xorg.conf file or by running the command:<\/p>\n
$> setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout dk,us -option grp:alt_shift_toggle<\/strong><\/pre>\nThis will setup a 105pc keyboard and have both Danish (dk) and American (us) keyboard layout and to change between the 2 press the <Alt><\/strong> and <Shift><\/strong> simultaneously.<\/p>\n
This will of cause be reset every time the computer reboot so I added the command to (if you are running KDE as on Kbuntu):<\/p>\n
