At the start, the X's receive information about the maps and monitors. Next, at the start of the window manager, the xrandr initialization script is executed and the monitors are deployed and lined up in the positions I need.
What I want
- Connect a 4k monitor to a 1050 Ti
- Connect the remaining monitors to 1050 That is, I want to unload the main video card.
What I tried
I switch three monitors to the second video card naturally.
Changing the initialization script does not give results. xrandr doesn't want to rotate the monitors.
The error is as follows: xrandr: output HDMI-1-0 cannot use rotation "right" reflection "none"
Moreover, if you remove the rotation option , the monitors still won't start. Only the 4k monitor connected to the main graphics card is active. In attempts to find the ends-I dug up only randr: failed to create shared pixmap in the xorg server log.
I tried to configure it via nvidia-settings, using xinerama. The monitors started up, and the side monitors turned in the right direction. But as soon as you start something using opengl (yes, the same google chrome) - lags begin. Load on the main card, the second video card is kept in the region of 85-100%, if it is loaded, then sometimes a little.
Please tell me what else I can try? What did I forget? what didn't you take into account? Where's my joint?
