Unix & Linux Asked by Cash Weaver on November 9, 2021
As of today, I am unable to enable all three of my monitors at their preferred resolution (2560×1440). This configuration has been working for the last two weeks without error. I had unplugged the laptop and monitors from the dock this weekend so I could hook the monitors up to my gaming PC. I plugged everything back into the dock this morning. There have been no software updates as far as I am aware.
I get the following error when attempting to enable all three monitors:
xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed
Hardware
Software
Note: All of the external monitors show up as DP-1-{1,2,3}
even though one of these cables is HDMI; not Displayport. I recall that the monitors previously (when the three monitor set-up was working) showed as DP-2-{1,2,3}
.
Things I Have Tried

, 2480x1395_60.00 59.97
) and setting the third monitor to these resolutions. 2048x1152_60.00 59.90
worked; the other two didn’t work.arandr

xrandr --verbose
with the two Dell monitors enabled: gist.
I was able to set all monitors to 2560x1440 by setting the third monitor to a lower refresh rate. My current configuration has the two Dell monitors at 2560x1440 is:
DP-1-1 connected 1440x2560+0+320 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 610mm x 356mm
...
2560x1440_30.00 29.94*
DP-1-2 connected primary 2560x1440+1440+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
2560x1440 59.95*+ 143.91
DP-1-3 connected 2560x1440+1440+1440 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
2560x1440 59.95*+ 143.91
#!/bin/sh
xrandr
--output eDP-1 --off
--output DP-1 --off
--output HDMI-1 --off
--output DP-2 --off
--output DP-1-1 --mode 2560x1440_30.00 --pos 0x320 --rotate right

--output DP-1-3 --mode 2560x1440 --pos 1440x1440 --rotate normal
I created the 2560x1440_30.00 mode by following the steps on the archlinux wiki:
cvt
to create a modeline: cvt 2560 1440 30
xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_30.00" ...
xrandr
