Hi there -
I am using three monitors: VGA, DVI, and DVI-via-DisplayPort-adapter.
When I just use a DVI and VGA monitor, grub shows up on both screens. When I use three, grub only shows up on the VGA monitor, and the other two monitors receive no signal. This is a problem because in that configuration the VGA monitor is the off-to-the-side, not-always-used-or-turned-on monitor, where the digital connections serve the main two screens.
Is this likely to be a grub thing, or more likely a motherboard thing? I'll play with some grub graphics settings in the meantime, but i wanted to solicit opinions on it. It's a new Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H (with a Haswell 4770K).
A second oddity: when the grub screen appears on two monitors (DVI and VGA), there is a bug where the menu selection updates on every other keystroke on one of the monitors, but properly on the other. E.g. it starts at Kubuntu, I hit "down arrow" and one of the screens goes down to the second selection and the other stays the on the first. I hit down again and suddenly both go to the third selection. The "proper" screen indicates what is actually selected, so it's not a big deal, but i thought i'd see if anyone else has noticed that. That i assume must be a grub bug?
