I have a dual-head NVIDIA (GeForce GT520) graphics card and an onboard Intel graphics controller. I’ve been using two monitors connected to my NVIDIA card which has worked fine but now I got a third monitor which I have connected to the on board card and I’m wondering how I can make it to be part of my display configuration (in Plasma).
I do see the the adapter in my system as it is shown as “2nd Generation Core Processor Family Inegrated Graphics Controller (Intel Corporation)” with what seems like 'video-linux' drivers associated. I see this in Plasma under Hardware Configuration.
Some further details about my setup:
sudo lshw -C video

Now, I can right click onto 'video-linux' and it gives me options to “remove” or “reinstall” but I haven’t selected reinstall as I don’t want to risk, losing my display by “trying around”. Can I add the Linux card to /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead? How do I do that? And will it take precedence over configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
or is that wehre I add my config instead?
