xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed
Hi,
I'd be very grateful if someone/ anyone can help me please ...
1. I have a triple-head display on 3 identical lenovo monitors using 2 DVI outputs from graphics card and 1 DisplayLink USB to DVI adapter.
2. Till a few days ago it was all working fine on Xubuntu and AFAIK all distribution & package updates applied, ie kernel was probably 4.4.0-57 and os was probably 16.04.
3. System crashed ... reinstalled using same media as the original install for the Xubunut iso.
4. Re-installed the same DisplayLink driver v 1.1.62 but when I tried to use the 3rd monitor (applications > settings > display) it kept saying monitor disabled.
5. Tried several solutions but the furthest I can get is ... "XRandR failed: XRandR returned error code 1: xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed"
I've tried all the commands/ steps below but no luck.
The oddest looking thing to me is that the monitor is recognised as "DVI-I-1-3" but IIRC it used to be something like "DVI-1-3" (and none of the references I googled said anything about "DVI-I-xxx").
thanks in advance
Atul
