In my case, an empty xorg.conf doesn't work with my 3-monitor setup. The issue is that the Nvidia driver (contrary to nouveau?) doesn't work with 3 monitors, so one of them cannot be used, but when the X server is restarted (e.g. when I log out), the Nvidia driver is confused about which monitor to use. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
