Hi Leo,


apologies for the late follow-up; I was on vacation and then backlogged.

Yes, I suspect so.

Something like

xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --off --output DVI-D-2 --off
xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --crtc 0 --mode 1920x1080 --output DVI-D-2
 --crtc 0 --mode 1920x1080

and then verify with xrandr --verbose that both outputs are actually
using the same CRTC. Note that I'm getting an error on the second step
when trying this right now, so there may be something preventing using
the same CRTC for multiple outputs. But AFAIK at least in theory it's
possible.


I will follow up with some comments on individual patches.
