Thought that timing was likely but did find the previously listed

Having long term issues in trying to run a multi-gpu system and lately
adding
a 4k hdmi monitor monitor into a now 5 monitor display sub-system I also
have more than a question or two that I would love some answers for.
Likely won't be asking any questions as I'm finding that most of the Linux
community doesn't use multi-gpu setups unless its for computing horse
power or electronic currency mining which needs are quite different than
for a very heavy screen real estate system (better not to frustrate other
attendees!).

Thanks for confirming the scheduling.

Regards
