Multipe monitors not working

#1 Post by mcdagan »

I have a slightly complicated setup. I'm using an HP 840 G6 laptop with an HP G5 docking station. I have three monitored connected to the docking station, two Dell 2k monitors and 1 Samsung TV. When I plug the laptop to the docking station the display will show on the Samsung TV and in Monitor configuration I see the other two monitors; they are set to disabled. When I try to enable them nothing happens. Interestingly when I reboot and as the laptop is booting up all three monitors work but the displays are mirrored. When it fully boots though only the one monitor works.

Other notes: I have the new RC 21 of Xfce MXLinux installed. Previously I had Linux Mint installed on this laptop and all monitors worked without issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please do not post outside the Release Candidate topics when dealing with RC's, or it will become very messy with them all about. RC topics were created for a reason, please use them.

I am going to close this one so you can repost there, as I see you already have something there on this (viewtopic.php?p=656309#p656309).
