How did you set up your multimonitor system without xrandr? I'm perfectly
willing to do it some other way -- I'm committed to the solution, not the
means.

Sorry for the blank message!! (to the list!!)

I'm running nvidia graphics cards (2 connected to monitors) so its a royal pain

but I'm running the nvidia drivers. Its not that easy to set up the first time (I spent

a lot of time the first time) but now its a painful process but its quite doable.

You need to remove the nouveau driver. Means that first you need to get your system

running on something else and then you black list nouveau and then you install the

nvidia drivers and then you need to setup all the goodies and then you can turf the nouveau

drivers and then you have OK performance.
