Just installed Linux Lite as a dual boot on it's own SSD. I have three monitors. The two additional monitors are displayed through USB to VGA adapters (EVGA UV+16). I can get them configured and working properly, but every time I reboot I lose the settings and start with only one monitor.
I am a Linux NEWB. Need help - THANKS!
You haven't told us what video card you are using. We can start there.
Intel HD Graphics card.
(the one that came with the system)
'Intel' is a bit vague given there are dozens of different models. What is the output in a Terminal of:
Sorry - this help?
1) This is how it is when I boot up:
Code:
Graphics: Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: modesetting (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
Resolution: [email protected]
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge Desktop
version: 3.3 Mesa 19.0.2
And this is how it is when I have the three screens working properly:
Code:
Graphics: Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: modesetting (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)

You could try the link you posted earlier, but you're going to have to adjust the code in places where your info is specific. Good luck.
I don't have a clue how you do that...
This is literally the first time I have used Linux and I am totally lost. I just ran across that when I was doing one of my many searches. I don't even really know how to download the files from that link... :-[
Can't seem to find a "tutorial" that is dumbed down enough for me to follow it.
Sometimes you have to jump through a few hoops with linux when you have Intel graphics. Eg. If you had 3 identical monitors and an nVidia card that supported 3 or more monitors, there would be zero issues.
Yes, I get that. Just trying to find the right hoops to jump through. Especially since a $245+ video card is not in the future.
Seems like there has to be a way since I can actually get them to work temporarily.
