A full drm.debug=6 dmesg, Xorg.0.log and xrandr --verbose would be
useful starting point to distangling what is going on. Is this an 830gm
or an 845g? google says 830gm, so there should be 2 crtcs available for
you to drive the two outputs independently, and we need to find out what
is going wrong.
