Details

    Description

      Test using the proprietary drivers supplied with the Ubuntu 14.04
      distribution. Nvidia X server settings correctly recognizes both cards. Using NVIDIA driver 331.38.

      When I put it in Xinerama mode, all screens are active, but the VirtualDeskop returns false with only 1 large screen.

      Did nothing special with Xinerama except enabling it in the Nvidia X
      server settings. Using a Dell monitor and three attached Optoma projectors for my virtual desktop.

      Set up a 2-monitor configuration with Xinerama turned on. See if it returns only 1 screen when querying for number of screens. Number of virtual siblings should be more than one.
