Daisy-chaining monitors mirrors them instead of extending
by etcetera from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JTFG)
Running MSI GT80 Titan SLI, with dual Nvidia 980m. Plain Jane CentOS 7 installed, patched. with Gnome.
Two monitors are Dell U3014, both.
I run this config:
CPU -> mini-DP to DP on primary U3014 - DP-out to DP-in (Secondary Dell U3014)
the monitors are mirrored instead of extended. When I go into settings, I get: Could not get screen information.
I have successfully daisy-chained the same monitors with this machine running Win10 so know it can be done. I set the MST to "on" in the OSD.
