I currently have three monitors connected to my laptop but if I try to
enable X on the third one I'm getting the following error:

port:fred ~> xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA1

Thanks Fred.
what happens when you disconnect HDMI1? Does VGA1 light up? I'm
thinking the mobile gpu has 2 active outputs, the LCD built-in, plus
one additional monitor of VGA or HDMI type.


All three and useable, but only two at a time - due to the limitation that Johnathan mentioned. I can use any two of the three monitors - if I disconnect any I have to re-run xrandr or arandr (gui xrandr in ports).


But blender 2.72 is running fine (I wish I new how to use it properly).

It's huge, and the learning curve is steep. I've been using it daily
for a year and still don't know squat...


:~)

OpenBSD can be a bit like that but the documentation is excellent - and I have been using it as my main desktop since 2.9

cheers

Fred
