$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1920x1200
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA-0
The 2nd and 3rd monitor are able to run in the same mode, with the same timings. So I think they shared the same CRTC before.
$ xrandr -q

The screens can be active at the same time, all combinations of two monitors work.
I tried several other things, they all didn't work:
- running the VGA-0 screen via DisplayPort
- downgrading xorg-server{,-common} to the previous version
- forcing a crtc via the --crtc option of xrandr (tells me it still can't find a crtc)
- checking the ati driver, but that didn't change
Anyone else familiar with the problem?
