--- Comment #31 from Anthony Paul <for...@simplynoah.com> ---
I'm here with an update, but not a proposed solution, though I hope the
solution mentioned by Alexander works for others.

As seen in my previous post, I was using an older AMD graphics card that I
specifically bought to drive four monitors from display ports. 

Later, I switched to using the onboard AMD graphics and driving 3 monitors (one
via USB DP 1.4 alt mode port for two with one daisy chained, then the onboard
HDMI for the other) --- and the problem no longer occurred.

This was a short term solution as I then purchased 4 Dell new monitors with MST
support, and used the two USB alt mode ports, each daisy chaining one display
and still have not had any crashes.

Can't make a solid guess on what the root cause of the issue was/is, could be
with Wayland, the graphics driver, or throughput, or any combination of the
three. There is some evidence to support the throughput theory as I did notice
a significant change in the number of crashes when reducing the monitor count.
The card I had should have supported four monitors at 1080p at 60z, but who
knows, maybe it was bad card. Maybe I had bad cables. Whatever the case if
addressed and unfixable, hopefully the crash can be handled better.

Now I am running fine on the same system and install with 4 monitors, 1080p at
120hz. Good luck out there!
