Multiple Displays on USB-c/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters

[wicus]

Hi All

I've been running Elive Linux for the last 60 days in Virtual box on my Asus ROG G752VL laptop with 64Gb RAM. The only thing I could not test was using multiple displays.

As it is now, I have 3x 27" displays connected to the laptop
1 on the Thunderbolt port
1 on the USB-C port via a USBC==> HDMI convertor
1 on the HDMI port
and then the laptopscreen, of which the laptop lid is closed permanently

Graphics card on the ASUS is: Nvidia GeForce GTX965M

Is there any way to "pre-check" if these display settings will work when installing Elive as my Host ? The last thing I want to do is to reformat/install, and then redo everything on Windows should this not be working

Any suggestions/feedback appreciated

As a first a hearty welcome to the forum. Just realized you're an old user with a new login.
The place to be for any question regarding Elive.

Elive has multiple screens covered for a very long time and here's a screenshot of how that works:

Setting up Multiscreens

Can anyone help with setting up Multiscreen on the 64 bit Elive release? If I plug in one terminal on HDMI and another using VGA at boot both screens display until the message OS clean.............. then the VGA screen goes off and does not return. I tried elive-multiscreens but it only displays the HDMI terminal VGA has disappeared. I am in the dark on this one. Is it just a matter of plugging in two monitors? Any help appreciated.

Admittedly, I have no personal experience with a Thunderbolt Port but am fairly certain "arandr" has that covered too.

Yes, just run the live version without installing (yet) and see how it functions.

Thank you so much - I completely forgot the liveCD option. Will purchase/download the latest BETA later tonight and update here (in case any other user also have this question)

Thank you. Tested and working using LiveCD option. Still some minor hick-ups, but I will sort them out.
