What cards do you have installed and what drivers are you using? I have two AMD cards and one(R7 240) requires the Radeon driver, but the other(RX 580 wants the AMDGPU. I think it was easier in 'the olde times' before all this automated display setting crept in. Although working out all the modelines for changing display resolution was interesting when you had four unique monitors running on four display cards, which I did once for an exercise. > ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Am running 4 monitors. I use xrandr to set up my monitors. Took a while to figure out. Now fairly easy. Two monitors would be real easy - - its once you add more than one graphics card that things get a bit more interesting.
