Hi QA, I am going to attempt to install the Nvidia non free drivers on OMLX
3 Beta.  I have two possible configurations that are available for testing:

Config-1], GPU card with multiple heads (hdmi 1.4,dvi,display port 1.2) to
support up to three monitors. I have two monitors: dvi and hdmi, 960 GTX.

Config-2] dual GPU graphic cards, with a one-to-one monitor match. Each
card does have multiple heads, Nvidia 730 GTX, 960 GTX

I have three monitors if I wanted to max out my workspace area.

  I will try to get this working on the proprietary drivers using Config-1.
It works with nouveau driver already. The monitors have different
resolutions capabilities and configured with DPMS option.

The graphics card is a Nvidia 960 GTX for Config-1; Config-2 (960 GTX, 730
GTX).  (These were part of a Christmas gift I received.)


Need your VOTE on what to test and report.  I will start on Config-1.
Should I test Config-2 after successfully test Config-1 once it works?


Status: Config-1

I have failed so far because of the ABI 20.0 driver in x-server 1.18.0.
using the non-free driver.
I will try to tweak it. I had the Nvidia 340 working, then I updated it to
352.30, then everything broke. Currently X is not working, I lost the
original xorg.conf file. I will create one manually. I am getting
segmentation dumps on the nvidia driver.

I think I will have to remove all the nvidia drivers to get it back working
with the nouveau driver working again.

The latest Nvidia driver 352.79 was tested and that does not fix the
problem. Once I make some manual changes it might work.  I just downloaded
358.16 and it claims it fixes the ABI 20.0 driver problem.  I will report
after testing.

I found some links on xorg.org man pages.
