Yes this sound plausible. I use Intel with two external monitors, but they are both 1920 max. He can try with sizes in the given range and see if it works. regards

Last official (upstream) Intel driver update was 2.99.917 23 months ago. But maybe the modesetting driver has a problem with more than two displays. I can't recall ever seeing "No space left on device" in any Xorg.#.log before. I now suspect the problem is that the modesetting driver is limited to 8192 X 8192, and he has 3840 + 3840 + 1920 = 9600, and that points out the "device" that is "out of space" might be the framebuffer? Maybe indeed his solution is the Intel driver's 32767 X 32767 buffer. Looks to me like moving his 1920x1200 under or over one of the other two would light it up with the modesetting driver but to keep them all side by side would indeed require the intel driver instead of the new in Stretch modesetting default. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

That no space left on device message is usually talking about a storage device like a hard disk -- and why would a hard disk be involved in setting the display mode??? Sounds almost Microsoft... yuck! Sorry I am not able to help, but perhaps the sympathy / validation will be worth something. Mark
