I am currently running in X with the GTX. Only two of three monitors are connected. The right one currently has a VGA cable which doesn't work with this card. In the console, the left (sideways, DVI) worked but the center (HDMI) didn't until "startx". How can I fix that, or is the DVI one the only one that works in the console?

Is the kernel module "nvidia" running?
Other than what lsmod shows?
Well, for testing purposes move any login manager tewmporarly out of the way (these are /usr/ bin/lightdm, /usr/bin/kdm, /usr/bin/sddm and whatever you have.) . When you now reboot, you will get just the console, but if you give the command "startx" as root, X-Server should start. If NOT, it will show you the reason why. Please tell us, what it said.
lightdm was disabled (chmod 0) but startx works.
If it is now starting well, you are good and can move your loginmanagers back. After reboot, it should automatically starting the -Server witrh a login greeter.
OK, I'll try that. I haven't changed anything but we'll see what happens.
If this does not help, and you need further assistance, please let us know and provide any information you got, especially all messages, exact bahaviour, what you did and how and so on.
Thank you. -- Usenix
