LVDS + VGA + TMDS-1

[Dmitry Babrovich]

As far as I understand you only have two pipes (look in your Xorg log to
see which one is assigned to which output), which are controled by crtc
parameter. You can have combinations of some outputs assigned to one
PIPE (for example VGA+LVDS on one and TMDS on the other) but I think it
would mean you'll get the same picture on the outputs assigned to the
same pipe. Look in intel's datasheet for more information - it's
awailable on their website.

Hello,

i have a Dell D630 with an Intel Chip:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel
Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Dual Head (17" TFT TMDS-1 or 17" TFT VGA and LVDS) works fine. But i
can't get triple head working.

   640x480        60.0
   720x400        70.1
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right)

If I try:
$ xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output TMDS-1

Okay, I read [1]. As far as I understood, I have to share an crtc:

$ xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto --crtc 0
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  156 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

Does my hardware support this or is it not possible?

If triple head is not possible, can I disable the internal LCD and use
dual head with DVI and VGA connected monitors?

Greetings,
Martin
