Since nvidia460 is installed one monitor is there

  • 772

I have a two monitor screen connected, but since the update of the Nvidia 460 I can only use one monitor, and the other monitor is black. When I reset it to Nouveau both screens are there. What can I do to get this back?

  1. I had a similar issue with my three screen setup. Surprisingly, the solution was to change the refresh frequency of one of the screens. The only way I could get all 3 screens to work was to set one of them to 59.xx Hz instead of 60Hz. I'm not sure why this happens, and the logs didn't seem to help.
