Neil.P Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 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.

Neil.P Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment
