There are likely a number of values that work for this, but that was the one that I went with.Ħ) Create a Monitor section for the other GPUs. In my case, I put the coordinates at 1600 0 because my actual monitor is 1600 pixels wide. You should see "Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0" already listed, so just make another entry.
Under the ServerLayout section at the top, you'll need to make an entry for every card you have. There are three numbers at the beginning of each entry, you'll need those later.ĥ) Open nf in your text editor of choice. Run the command "lspci | grep VGA" and you should see all the GPUs that are connected to your motherboard. First you need to know how to connect to the other GPU(s). If you only have a single monitor, you have to trick X/Nvidia into thinking that you've got a second one and you need another X server instance. This is really easy to do if you've only got one GPU, ( follow this guide by bollix47) but the problem for multiple GPUs is that coolbits requires that an X server be running on each GPU. Make a backup of this file just in case things go downhill.Ĥ) Coolbits needs to be enabled for the Nvidia drivers to display the advanced settings. You should be able to modify the /home/.nvidia-settings.rc file manually if your build is headless or if you prefer CLI.ģ) Open nvidia-settings and then save the current configuration to the nf file. The drivers should also come with nvidia-settings, which is GUI for changing these settings. I chose the 310 drivers from the official repos as they seem to work pretty well.
Others on FF also have experience doing this sort of thing, so post below if you need.ġ) In a fully updated environment, first install the Nvidia drivers. If this guide is useful to you, feel free to adapt it to your own setup as needed. I have a GTX 560TI and a GTX 480, so I set mine up around that in Mint 15 (raring package base). Turns out that there are multiple guides and tutorials out there, and it's entirely possible to set it up for Linux, at least for Nvidia. Since it was one of the main reasons I was still running Windows on my desktop, so I decided to see what was out there for Linux. MSI Afterburner a pretty useful program for Windows, and works well even if you've got more than one graphics card. If you only have one card, then look at viewtopic.php?p=246099#p246099 Note: this is for enabling fan control settings in Linux for more than one Nvidia GPU.
