Configure crtc 3 failed

A while back, I was using the following script to configure my monitors.

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \
   --output HDMI-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal \
   --output DP-1-4 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3848x0 --rotate normal

But now, I get "xrandr: Configure crtc 3 failed". I've tried many other configurations, but basically any time I try to turn on DP-1-4, I get this error. I've even tried turning it on as a different crtc with no success (the error message changes to the crtc that I specified).

When I downgrade to xorg server 19.6 the monitor works fine. I finally moved off 19.6 because other things aren't working properly as I keep the rest of my system up to date.

My system configuration:

Arch linux, xorg server 1.20.0 (1.20.0-9), xorg-xrandr 1.5.0-1, libxrandr 1.5.1-2

Dell precision 7710 on a dell dock with two external DVI-connected monitors.

Xrandr; returns
