I've just picked up a UP2414Q and I've connected it via displayport 1.2 which runs 60hz. The issue is that it ends up showing X two screens, well kind of, so that I end up with it acting as if I've got two monitors within my one 24" frame.



I've gone through the nvidia settings and cannot find a way to get them to join up as a single wide display. I've found hints at doing things like



OPTION "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride" "3840x2160+0+0"


or



Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "1"


Neither of which worked. I wonder if I'm missing another part to the puzzle. Any hints on how to correct up my config would be appreciated. I'm currently running a new daily build of trusty in the hopes that more recent X and nvidia drivers would help things out.



I've pasted below my current X config and linked to the X log below.



Here is a screenshot of the current dual display setup. Notice the window manager is acting as if there are two different monitors.

I'm working on the same issue with a Panasonic TC-L65WT600, and while I haven't found a perfect solution, I came across this workaround that did somewhat work for me.



Add the line



Option "Xinerama" "1"


to your xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout".



This is counterintuitive, because in effect this breaks both Xinerama and RandR. The NVIDIA driver has its own implementation of Xinerama and RandR, and by enabling the regular Xinerama extension, it conflicts with NVIDIA's implementation, the effect being both are disabled.



I haven't tested this thoroughly to see if it breaks anything else, but it's worth a try as a temporary workaround...
