disper clone should activate two monitors at most

[Rodney Beede]

I have an HP EliteBook 8560w hooked into a dock with 1 monitor on the DVI and the other hooked into the VGA.

The nVidia Quadro 2000M graphics card only supports 2 active displays (3 are detected).

disper -c results in it attempting to activate all 3 displays incorrectly:

could not find nor create MetaMode: :: DFP-0: 1920x1080 +0+0, CRT-0: 1920x1080 +0+0, DFP-1: 1920x1080 +0+0

DFP-0 was the internal display which should have been ignored.

If it helps the laptop display is named AUO while the others have the proper monitor names:

root@rodney-PC:~# disper -l
display DFP-0: AUO

Thanks for your bug report. Good point! Disper should limit the number of attached displays to two.
Please note that you can still use the '-d' argument to select two monitors.
