Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
If we boot machine with only one monitor after that plug in another two monitors, one of the 3 monitor doesn't come up, and the error information "*ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:5]". In that case, all the 3 monitors would get the normal pictures while running "testdisplay -m".

But if we boot machine with two or even three monitors, the issue doesn't occurs. 
The issue exists on both mobile and desktop platform.

Can you please also append the dmesg (with drm.debug setting) of the working 3 monitor configuration?

I think the latest -testing branch has the fix of this issue.

I'm a bit confused: Does this mean latest -testing works and we can
close this? Or do you still need to test & confirm?

(In reply to comment #5)
Oh, I meant the the latest -testing works, and we could close this.
