Hi,
I have a Notebook with and Intel Haswell CPU (i5, 4th gen.) and 2
external displays (both connected via DisplayPort, there is no extra
GPU). I would like to use only the 2 external displays with the
notebook lid closed. The xf86-video-intel driver is installed and it
works, but it only recongizes the "first" two displays and the first is
always the built-in one. I can configure these two displays from the
XFCE Control Panel, unfortunately the 3rd display is not present. If
it's possible, I would like to not use a static xorg.conf file because
sometimes I only use the notebooks built-in display only without any
other display connected.
I use 11.0-RELEASE-p3.
Output of xranrd (the 3rd display is connected, it doesn't show up):
