Title:
  Popup dialog "could not set the configuration for CRTC 65" steals
  keyboard, hinders login in 3-monitor configuration

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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 have the VGA hooked up to a Viewsonic 1920x1080 monitor, positioned
  above the laptop display.  I have a Samsung monitor to the right of
  the Viewsonic.  Since my laptop seems to only support two displays
  (which also seems true in Windows), I normally disable and totally
  ignore my laptop display, and may have papers propped up in front of
  it etc.

  Note that when I initially configured the third display I saw the
  following highly confusing behavior.  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":

     The selected configuration for displays could not be applied
     could not set the configuration for CRTC 65

  I clicked "OK" and got another dialog box:
     Failed to apply configuration: %s
     Can't add monitor: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 65

  It works if I disable my laptop monitor, so it looks like the problem
  is with adding a third display.  I would think it would be a pretty
  common use case to use two nice external displays and disable the
  laptop display.

  Even when the hardware can't handle a third display, the error
  messages should not be so confusing, and the login process shouldn't
  result in the keyboard being mysteriously stolen by a dialog box on a
  display which may never be visible.

  This is on Trusty 64-bit, up-to-date with upgrades.

  This bug seems similar to bug 1304627, but it seemed cleanest to get
  all the right information reported via ubuntu-bug.
