I tried many combinations with xrandr command under lubuntu 12.04 to setup my three monitors
- DVI (DELL 1) left detected as HDMI1
- HDMI (LG E2290) middle detected as HDMI2
- VGA (DELL 2) right detected as VGA1
I can get the display with fix 1280x1024 on all the monitors. But once I setup 1280x1024 + 1920x1080 + 1280x1024, I get blank screen on all the monitors. Sometimes it throws crts fail error instead of blanking out.
Anyone have similar issues? any solutions/workarounds?
P.S. I can setup two monitors using 1280x1280 and 1920x1080 P.S.S. HDMI2 required at least 1920x1080 to display sharp picture.
