This is effectively what we do with the wacky ivybridge 3-output setup. With that chipset, there are 4 DP lanes available and two connectors. If you suck up all 4 lanes for the first connector, then you have none left for the second one. If you've already configured the second one, then you can't use the higher resolution modes on the first one. The only way to tell is to try and see what RandR says. RandR is always allowed to say 'no' to any particular configuration, and in the tiled case, I'd suggest that the correct approach would be to have the driver pretend that the monitor is connected to only one of the outputs, and that configuring the 4k mode would require that sufficient resources be available to drive both physical links. -- [email protected]
