When you say might not support, are you referring to 4 monitors or 4 monitors spread out across 2 gfx ... devices? (not sure what it would be called since one is integrated and the other a card that was plugged in). Ah, a bit detail I left out of the post, the gfx card model! Its a OEM AMD Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCIe x16 DP DVI Video Card pulled out of an HP machine. As for replacing, most of the cards that seemed like they would be compatible (AMD Radeon) cost a mint as soon as they went above the "3 ports" threshhold, so I would *really* like to try to get my current setup (or the one I am aspiring to) to work before considering shelling out more money. Well the integrated gfx is what is primary now, I tried setting it to switchable (whatever that is) and it didn't work, then to the grfx card and that didnt work then to the primary and they all... kinda worked, at least everything was getting a signal of some sort as opposed to consistently getting 2 out of four monitors blank. Lastly, so far, when I try to start up an appvm I get the following: Error starting VM PCI device 02:00.0 does not exist (domain ) though that happens with all the appvms and the debian templates and for redhat and whonix I get: qubes manager error starting vm 'fedora-26' maximum recursion depth exceeded Go into Qube Settings on sys-net, Devices tab. Unmap anything listed there and add your NIC back in. You might have to repeat this if you remove the secondary graphics card. Alright, thanks. I will give it a try when I get back from my trip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
