Hello all, I built the following system last week (i9-10850k, gigabyte pro aorus ax, 32gb ram, msi gtx970 video card, 2x8tb red, 1xwdblack nvme ssd) and am using it with 3 monitors (since my workstation had it from before). The monitors all work when plugged into the gpu, but I don't see any settings to configure what unraid see's as monitor 1, 2, 3 etc when booting into the web gui interface on startup. I know that unraid in a headless environment is the preferred method of access, but my goal was to figure out the vm passthrough and eliminate the need for a second workstation/monitor setup at home. I know I could simply rewire the monitors so that it is intuitive left to right, but would love to learn if it is editable to achieve this by software and to get a better understanding of the backend as I'm very new to unraid. Any help is appreciated!

UnRaid is not multi-monitor aware so I suspect it is going to be a case of trial and error.

 

when the GPU is passed through to a VM it will control all 3 monitors anyway - as far as I know you cannot have one used by Unraid and 2 by the VM if they are all on the same GPU.

Thanks for the reply! Yes it spans all 3 windows in no particular order so that is what I figured. Is the recommended use then to use one monitor on the internal gpu output and dedicate 2 monitors for passthrough gpu for the VM's?
