4 Monitors 2 work?

[Wyght]

I attempted to install Debian Stable a year ago, I switched back to Ubuntu because I could only get two of my four monitors running. I want to use Debian so I would like to know how do I get four monitors up and running with Debian?

Sounds like a very nice radeon board. If you want to get it working on debian, maybe you can repartiton and try another install? I'd probably try something easy, like a window manager first, get mesa-utils and some other diagnostics stuff running (stevepusser prefers package 'inxi') and when you get X running, post some more info.

Be sure and use the firmware, the package I believe is called 'firmware-amd-graphics' now but do some research, it might be installed along with package 'firmware-linux-nonfree'

Well, you won't get it working on debian by quitting, be persistent, let the forum help you!

Thank you I will do some research about this tomorrow, and then try again. I will post for more help if required and I beat it I will let you know


One more question, I have 2 150 SSD and 2 5 TB HD. I did NOT touch any disk other than the one SSD I put Debian on last time.
I could build a partition on one drive and backup everything I 'need' there and then partition the remainder of the disks Is this what you
would suggest?
