It should be "Monitor-HDMI-0" instead of "HDMI-0" and so on.

Or just remove these lines and rename your monitor section's identifier
from "mon0" to "HDMI-0" and so on.

If the wiki page isn't clear enough, please let me know.

Ah excellent - it works now!

Having the output name inside the option name in that way is slightly unexpected, at least for me. Hence it tricked me, as I was mostly looking at the finished example. But yes, it does say how it works up in the "device section" section.

Thanks!
