AFAIR A screen will be assigned to the controller/GPU. then to each output a
Monitor and Display will be assigned.
As you know there are few options how it can be handled (Extend/Clone).
The resolution depends on the quality of the cards.
I have only one integrated intel with DVI and HDMI. So I have one screen and
one Monitor, but both DVI and HDMI are connected.
Because I have configured Extend per default, I see the login screen only on
the DVI display and the extention on the other.
I guess you must try out and perhaps manually fine tune this or that.
May be also copy/paste here the make/model of the hardware, so that someone
can give you more detailed information.
