DisplayPort splitter
Recently got a new system at work with a DisplayPort output (Dell optiplex 3020).
If I bought a splitter like one of these, would it work with Arch? Would I be able to treat these like separate monitors in X? Are there any downsides to doing this?

Re: DisplayPort splitter
Just an update, we got a StarTech display port splitter in at work, so far it didn't work in Arch or Windows. Probably not going to happen on this chipset.

Re: DisplayPort splitter
I recently bought a Mini DisplayPort to 3x DisplayPort to use with my XPS 13 (9343). Works flawlessly with each port showing as a separate display.
Check to see if there are any settings in the BIOS.

Re: DisplayPort splitter
Hi Draje, I have the same setup as yours but I have this terrible annoying external monitor blink. Occurs randomly, screens go black for a second or so and then come back. Do you get that?
