[Bug 1373629] Re: [drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config] *ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:14]

 

In BootMesg.txt you can see very clearly the two related messages, it detects both monitors and then somehow forgets about it. 
Before Logging in (both monitor recognized in log in screen), Terminal 1 shows:

$ xrandr
can't open display

After the odd workaround (plug out/in of VGA adapter), Terminal now in GUI shows:
$xrandr

Title:
  [drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config] *ERROR* failed to set mode on
  [CRTC:14]

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dual monitor works fine with additional drivers fglrx-updates.
  After activating skydome, I suppose, it worked like the following: It comes with two monitors up, after logging in, both monitors will go black until I plugged of the VGA Monitor and switching with Ctrl-Alt-F8 and Ctrl-Alt-F7. Then the first monitor HDMI comes back again. I cann finally replug the VGA Monitor and is detected well. The bug is similar to the unmaintained #1124328.

  I have resetted graphics adapter and unity and compiz and xserver
  several many times. Behaviour is now stable.

  I use Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop Asus G73JH
