Dual monitor on different video cards

#1 Post by neos7m »

I'm trying to use two monitors on my PC using my dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 960) together with the integrated card (Intel Xeon E3-1200). This configuration works perfectly on Windows, although I had to allow discrete graphics in the BIOS. However, it does not work in Debian, as I can only see output on the primary monitor (connected to the dedicated video card).

Here is the output of inxi -G:

Code: Select all

Graphics:  Card-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
           Card-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.19.3 driver: nvidia
           Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz

           GLX Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 375.66
sudo lshw -c video:

Finally, xrandr:

Code: Select all

DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
It looks like inxi detects my integrated video card, lshw tells me it's unclaimed, and xrandr doesn't have any clue that there is a second monitor attached (and turned on, if that matters). Can anybody help me?
