Are you using active or passive DVI->DP adapters? Are all of the<br>
displays on a single GPU? Your GPU only has two PLLs for non-DP<br>
displays, so it can only drive two independent sets if display timing.<br>
If you want to use more than 2 non-DP monitors, you need to use the<br>
exact same modeline on at least two of them. All of the modes you are<br>
trying to set have different timings, so it's not possible:<br>
<br>
1680x1050 (0x81) 146.250MHz -HSync +VSync +preferred<br>
h: width 1680 start 1784 end 1960 total 2240 skew 0 clock 65.29KHz<br>
v: height 1050 start 1053 end 1059 total 1089 clock 59.95Hz<br>
<br>
1920x1200 (0x8c) 154.000MHz +HSync -VSync *current +preferred<br>
h: width 1920 start 1968 end 2000 total 2080 skew 0 clock 74.04KHz<br>
v: height 1200 start 1203 end 1209 total 1235 clock 59.95Hz<br>
<br>
1680x1050 (0x8f) 119.000MHz +HSync -VSync *current +preferred<br>
h: width 1680 start 1728 end 1760 total 1840 skew 0 clock 64.67KHz<br>
v: height 1050 start 1053 end 1059 total 1080 clock 59.88Hz<br>
<br>
Try either selecting a modeline that is common across at least two of<br>
the displays, or use randr to add one of the 1680x1050 modelines to<br>
the other connector and hope that the monitor will support it.<br>
