Upon boot, am presented with blank screen
I recently helped my brother upgrade his monitor setup and video card from an ASUS 750Ti and single Dell 3007WFP to the MSI RX 470 and two additional Dell SE198WFP on each side. (The 30" had its backlight die, another story for another time, so in the meantime, I've got a Samsung 2253LW in the menatime. I am still using the original dual-link DVI cable that came with the Dell monitor.) To hook up the side monitors, we used some HDMI-DVI cables. (I need to check if the cables are single-link or dual-link.) Installation and orientation setup was successful in Windows 10, but in Ubuntu, all that happens is it appears on the side monitors, duplicated, in 1024*768.
