Description of problem: When there are three or more displays present in the system, only two can be set active at the same time. However gnome-display-properties allows for enabling all of them, with the one most recently activated not working. If this is not possible by design (e.g. only two are supported, due to limited crtc channels etc.), the config tool should prohibit this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.28.1-25.el6 How reproducible: Always when setting multihead for more displays than channels present Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have more than two displays present (likely with two of them connected through the same channel). (Laptop LCD + two monitors connected to the dockstation in my case) 2. Try to enable all of them in any relative position Actual results: Only two monitors will be active at any time Expected results: All three active, or the gnome-display-properties not allowing or warning not to do this. Additional info:
can you give a little more detail on what you would like the interaction to be like?
Created attachment 827669 [details] xorg.conf which almost works I've just upgraded from fc18 to fc19 and my previous xorg.conf would allow 4 monitors (although it would only allow a configuration of all 4 in a row - which isn't how they are physically positioned!) fc19 displayed 4 blank screens when started with original xorg.conf. deleting xorg.conf allows 2 working monitors and two blank monitors, although the computer locks up due to some sort of display bug. With the attached xorg.conf I can move the mouse between the 4 monitors, however only the top two have graphics, the bottom two (furthest left in config) are black and although the mouse shows a pointer when on those displays a window cannot be dragged to those displays. With the current xorg.conf running the display settings gui only shows the top two monitors. With no xorg.conf all 4 monitors were shown in display settings, however only the top two worked and messing about with the settings would lockup the computer.
