[Bug 1409166] Re: Can't add third monitor: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 65
** Description changed:
+ Every time I boot, while I'm trying to enter my password in the initial
+ login screen (from Unity?), a dialog box pops up saying "The selected
+ configuration for displays could not be applied. could not set the
+ configuration for CRTC 65".
+
+ The dialog box also steals the keyboard focus, which is very confusing
+ if for some reason you're entering the password on an external display
+ while the normally unused laptop display is not visible. For example,
+ three times in a row this morning I rebooted and tried unsuccessfully to
+ log in. Since the dialog box is only displayed on the laptop display,
+ which I never use when external monitors are available, I had no idea
+ why my keyboard seemed broken.
+
+ Background:
+
My Lenovo Thinkpad X230 Tablet laptop has a VGA and a DVI connector. I
- had the VGA hooked up to a Viewsonic 1920x1080 monitor, positioned above
- the laptop display. From Settings I tried to add a Samsung monitor to
- the right of the Viewsonic, via a DVI-to-HDMI passive connector, and got
- this dialog box when I hit "Apply":

Title:
Popup dialog "could not set the configuration for CRTC 65" steals

Every time I boot, while I'm trying to enter my password in the
initial login screen (from Unity?), a dialog box pops up saying "The
selected configuration for displays could not be applied. could not
set the configuration for CRTC 65".
The dialog box also steals the keyboard focus, which is very confusing
if for some reason you're entering the password on an external display
while the normally unused laptop display is not visible. For example,
three times in a row this morning I rebooted and tried unsuccessfully

display, which I never use when external monitors are available, I had
no idea why my keyboard seemed broken.

above the laptop display. I have a Samsung monitor to the right of
the Viewsonic. Since my laptop seems to only support two displays
