Dear Maintainer,
Running debian stable (jessie) I moved my laptop from home (with one monitor
setup) to work (with a different one) using hibernate/resume (that is,
no reboot). At home my monitors are eDP1, DP1 and HDMI1. At work they're
eDP1, HDMI1 and HDMI2. Arandr generated the following xrandr command to
reconfigure the screens for my work environment. It failed. I attempted
the xrandr command it generted by hand:
xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 152x2352 --rotate normal --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3992x2352 --rotate normal --output DP1 --off --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 2072x2352 --rotate normal --output DP2 --off
The command failed with the following error:
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output HDMI2
Despite what the error said, HDMI2 was connected and recognized by xrandr
as being connected.
The following sequence of commands (the second identical to the original
above) successfully configured the display as intended.
xrandr --output DP1 --off
xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 152x2352 --rotate normal --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3992x2352 --rotate normal --output DP1 --off --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 2072x2352 --rotate normal --output DP2 --off
Regards,
Bill Herrin
