[opensuse] leap 42.1 with two nvidia video cards
Hi, I am successfully running a leap 42.1 system with a dual head nvidia graphics card. I am wanting to add a second dual head nvidia graphics card to my system. I had quick play and 'nvidia-settings' would not 'see' the second card. Before I trial things further are there any recent 'how to's on setting up dual cards with leap? The only 'how to's I can find are general linux from several years ago... (I am wanting to install leap 42.2, but decided I would get dual cards running first, so a common solution would be appreciated) With thanks, H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are you familiar with the Linux forum at nVidia? https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/ I quickly found a post there that discusses Multiseat Ubuntu, not openSUSE, but it's fairly recent: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/936873/linux/-howto-multiseat-with-... Just out of curiosity, what's your use case and which cards are you working with? regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I was unaware of this forum. Googling 'nvidia / linux' combos had not introduced me to it. I am in the wrong timezone to read this thoroughly (will do it later today). My only reservation about the post is the word 'multiseat'. I am after a single seat solution (ie 1 big xscreen) Thankyou. H

I am a 'home user' who does all the home type stuff (web. email, TV..). I also spend time in qgis / postgis / apache. I would like all the displays to be on the same xscreen. The cards, like on the devtalk.nvidia post, are GTX 750 Ti. H

AFAIK 'multiseat' is referring to multilple video cards, not multi-monitor. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
