Hi Andre,
As you mention three screens I suspect you may be using two separated GPUs at
the same time in the same X screen. That is not well supported in Awesome 3.4.
I used to use three screens on a PC with a NVidia and integrated Intel GPUs
and ran into many problems with it. To improve my setup I made some
modifications to Awesome. You can check and compile it at:
https://github.com/dpalacio/awesome-randr-zaphod
It works in Zaphod mode and with video drivers that support RandR extension.
It does not support Xinerama.
