I guess my question is if gnome 3.8 has the ability to support dual
monitors on GPUs with the previously mentioned limitations. If that's
not the case, then should I just switch to using MATE or another
desktop? I'd prefer to stick with gnome 3, but it's starting to sound
like that's not an option on the hardware that I have.

Thanks,
