Trouble configuring X with 3 monitors

Hello! This is my first post to these forums, so please correct me if I’ve posted in the wrong section.

I’ve been running two monitors on my Debian (testing) computer with it’s integrated (intel) graphics for some times. I recently got it into my head to add a third monitor. I bought a graphics card (nvidia geforce) and another monitor. I’ve been really struggling with setup though.

After a bit of initial frustration I had a breakthrough when I read that xrandr doesn’t support multiple graphics cards. I switched to trying to use xinerama, but still haven’t quite licked it. I had two of the monitors connected to my nvidia card, and the third connected to the integrated intel, but it didn’t allow me to rotate (either of) the nvidia monitors.

Since I only want to rotate two of my monitors I figured I could solve this by connecting two to the intel card and rotating them, leaving the one connected to the nvidia unrotated. Unfortunately, when I tried this, though I was able to rotate the montors like I wanted, they are now mirroring one another, and nothing I do seems to be able to change this.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
