Im using Fedora 24 with 2 additional non HDPI dell monitors with my HDPI laptop (using thunderbolt 3 and daisy chaining the monitors with DP1.2)
I am trying to get the 3 monitors to display nicely with sizing. So far I've managed to get the laptop and 2nd monitor working correctly with the following command:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --output DP-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+3840+0 --scale 2x2 --right-of eDP-1
however I can't seem to get the 3rd monitor to display anything useful, attempting with this command xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --output DP-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+3840+0 --scale 2x2 --right-of eDP-1 --output DP-1-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+3840+0 --right-of DP-1-8 has resulted in the 3rd monitor tracking part of the second screen very zoomed in. I think I myust have the scale/panning off.
Can anyone help me get this set up corerctly?

What graphics card/chip? Are you sure you can actually use 3 monitors at the same time? Many card/chips only support two "crtcs" or "pipes", which means at best the 3rd monitor can display something similar to one of the other monitors.

Pretty sure it can, but maybe you would know:lspci | grep -i graphics 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)

Ok, Intel. Doxrandr --listprovidersto see the number of your crtcs (= number of monitors with independent image), andxrandr --verboseto see how they are assigned.

What graphics card/chip? Are you sure you can actually use 3 monitors at the same time? Many card/chips only support two "crtcs" or "pipes", which means at best the 3rd monitor can display something similar to one of the other monitors.

Pretty sure it can, but maybe you would know:lspci | grep -i graphics 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)

Ok, Intel. Doxrandr --listprovidersto see the number of your crtcs (= number of monitors with independent image), andxrandr --verboseto see how they are assigned.

I'm not very familiar with xrandr that's why I usually would start with a simple fixed setup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, like this for your case:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "ONE"
Option "PreferredMode" "3840x2160"
Option "Position" "0 0"
Option "Primary" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TWO"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
Option "Position" "3840 0"
Option "RightOf" "ONE"
Option "Primary" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "THREE"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
Option "Position" "5760 0"
Option "RightOf" "TWO"
Option "Primary" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel-id"
Driver "intel"
Option "monitor-eDP-1" "ONE"
Option "monitor-DP-1-8" "TWO"
Option "monitor-DP-1-1-8" "THREE"
EndSection
Restart X server, and if ok, try to add the other panning and scale options etc.
At the and you may try to translate the xorg.conf back into a xrand command line. I know actually it would be better to do it the other way around but this way is easier for me.

xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --output DP-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+3840+0 --scale 2x2 --right-of eDP-1 --output DP-1-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+ 3840 +0 --right-of DP-1-8
Is that value correct?
Your first screen will start at x = 0, second at x = 3840, and third at x = 3840 basically displaying same content as 2nd one.
Try:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --output DP-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+3840+0 --scale 2x2 --right-of eDP-1 --output DP-1-1-8 --auto --panning 3840x2400+ 7680 +0 --right-of DP-1-8
Then 3rd one will start just after 2nd one ends.

What graphics card/chip? Are you sure you can actually use 3 monitors at the same time? Many card/chips only support two "crtcs" or "pipes", which means at best the 3rd monitor can display something similar to one of the other monitors.

Pretty sure it can, but maybe you would know:
