trying to use my android device as 3rd display


Hi

I currently use usb-c to HDMI to a my second screen monitor.

I want to extend this display so I can VNC the extra virtual display to my android.

I am following commands

gtf 1080 2280 59

xrandr --newmode "1080x2280_59.00" 208.13 1080 1168 1288 1496 2280 2281 2284 2358 -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode DP-2 1080x2280_59.00

xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 1080x2280_59.00 --right-of eDP-1
xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed

The last command is failing with the above message. I am not sure whats wrong ? Is there any way to understand the issue ?

Can you add "--verbose" to the command and post the output?
