I have three identical 1680x1050 monitors and am trying to use them via the “HP G5 USB-C dock” on my Razer Blade 15" 2018 laptop and its Thunderbolt 3 port. With
xrandr
I can get all displays working simultaneously sometimes, but never in the resolutions I want to.
If I build modelines myself, I can run all three with 1680x1050 with 49Hz. Are 60Hz not possible? Maybe it is a pixel clock issue.
xrandr | egrep '^[^ ]' | grep -v 'Screen 0:' | sed -e 's/ (.*//'
prints this without the dock connected:
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0
DP-1 disconnected
DP-2 disconnected
HDMI-1-1 disconnected
DP-1-3 disconnected
after hotplugging the dock I see:
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0
DP-1 disconnected
DP-2 disconnected
DP-1-1 connected
DP-1-2 connected
DP-1-3 disconnected
HDMI-1-1 disconnected
booting with the dock shows:
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0
DP-1 disconnected
DP-2 disconnected
DP-1-1 connected
DP-1-2 connected
DP-1-3 connected
HDMI-1-1 disconnected
DP-1-6 disconnected
With the dock hotplugged I can’t configure xrandr --output DP-1-3 --auto
. I get xrandr: cannot find preferred mode
. Booting with it works, though.
Trying to enable the third monitor with 1680x1050@60 produces xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
. I even used a modeline generated with cvt -r
. I think the monitors are too old for CVT-RBv2.
