Well, I'm trying to use collage display on my Alienware 17 R2 2015 (i7-4710HQ @ 2.50GHz, GTX 980M, 8GB RAM), and I am able to do it with only the two external displays. I mean, I can use extended desktop mode on the two external displays AND the laptop's display but when I try to use the Collage Display mode, the integrated display simply disappears as an option and I can only use it with the two external monitors, making the laptop's display turn off. If I disconnect any of the external displays, the Collage option disappears and I can't use it.
What can I do?
Thanks!
