I have dual GTX 560Ti graphics cards and wish to run 4 monitors in Ubuntu 12.10. And I am having trouble. The easiest solution would be to use the Base Mosaic mode in the nvidia driver; however this mode only supports 3 monitors as explained here: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-linux-basemosai...
This article also explains how driver 295.xx does support this feature. I wish to install this version but have failed. This is what I have done:
1. download driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/48503...
- go to terminal, sudo stop lightdm, run the driver,
- an error occurs that it cannot find the version.h file
- using solution found http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-h... i created a link to the appropiate version.h file
- Now i still have a problem:
ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
This is where I am stuck, suggestions?
- I also tried downloading a .deb file from: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/06/nvidia-drivers-collecti... but I get a "Package xorg-video-abi-12 is not installed" error
- I tried "sudo apt-get -f install" to solve this issue to no avail. Suggestions?
