So what's the proper way to setup dual monitors (they differ) with dual graphics cards?
I have 2x NVIDIA GPU GeForce RTX 2060. A 27" ASUS (2560x1440) and 27" Viewsonic (1920x1080) rotated 90degs.t. I can read PDF's w large font.

Plug them both into 1st GPU and all (cuda and everything) seems to work well (almost )
Plug them into separate GPUs and cannot config both to display properly but cuda still sees them.

This all started w/ a display/resolution issue for libreoffice w/ my Two-cords-in-one-GPU (2Cin1G) config.

Technical details

Nvidia: version 450.66
kernel: 5.3.18-lp152.66-default
xinerama throws an errors when try to set that up(see end of message)
xrandr does not ID both gpus/monitors

For [ 37.990] (**) Xinerama: enabled

solution found:
plug all monitors into GPU 0
delete all /etc/X11/xorg.conf files
just for fun and
b/c nvidia said so at
put following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-nvidia.conf (ok they said nvidia.conf but I added the 50)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Option "AllowNVIDIAGPUScreens"
EndSection

Also for fun :
installed arandr

and for the record these are the rpms I have installed for nvidia

x11-video-nvidiaG05-460.67-lp152.36.1.x86_64
nvidia-computeG05-460.67-lp152.36.1.x86_64
nvidia-glG05-460.67-lp152.36.1.x86_64
nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-460.67_k5.3.18_lp152.19-lp152.36.1.x86_64

Using kernel
