I have a Dell Latitude E7450 running Linux Mint running Mate and I'm using a Dell E-Port II (Model PRO3X) docking station. I'm connecting two external monitors, one via DVI and the other using Display Port, for a total of three displays. I can't get the external monitors to be independent and they are mirroring each other. I have no issues with the laptop's display itself. I've tried the proprietary driver and that didn't seem to help. In Windows 7 there is no problem. This is the output of xrandr, which shows the dvi and displayport as "DP1", regardless if one or both are plugged in. I can't get all three to show up when using the docking station.
