Hi All
After receiving a complimentary DP Active Adapter yesterday from Shelster( thanks again mate!!!) i gave it a go last night.
So now i have connected to the following ports on the Graphics card -
HMDI Port - Direct HDMI lead to my Onkyo Amp 1080(Sony Bravia 40" connected via HDMI)
DisplayPort - DP Active Adapter - DVI to my Samsung (1050)
DVI - DVI direct to the Dell (1080)
So now when im CCC i can see all 3 displays as active, which is fine but for some reason which ever display i try and connect with the Active Adapter shows "no signal" on the monitor.
Is there a particular order in which i need to set it up, or a specific DVI cable i must use, or is it because the Monitors themselves arent compatible?

Did you try what i said in the last email of getting the sammy running on its own, with no other displays attached via the adapter?
One option could be setting all up to run with a vertical res of 768, to see if that works. Running the low resolutions should be fine with a single link DVI, but you could throw a dual link in there, just to see what happens

OK, some mild success!
I turned off the pc, un-plugged all the DVI's and HDMI leaving me with just the DP Adaptor. Plugged my dell into that via a DVI-D Dual Link cable and it worked! Then i plugged the amp into the HDMI and the sammy into the DVI port with a DVI-I Single Link cable. When i tried to create a group something went wrong and i ended up with no display on any of the monitors so i had to restart and boot in safe mode, rollback the drivers and try again. It took me over an hour to get back to 1 display over DVI-D and my gf's getting pretty bored of watching me faff around with it now so ive got to wait until the weekend to try again haha
Im pretty sure its a matter of getting the CCC settings right though now as i have proved the DP adaptor DOES work.

Perhaps you would tell him how to set it up as he wouldn't be asking if he could do it himself.
When you're not too busy then muggs.
im on win7 and all i did was right click on desktop, select screen resolution and then use the available options. select one of the three screens via the pictures then choose it as your main display via the checkbox just below multiple displays(i chose middle one to be my main display). then select the other two one at a time and use the extend desktop to this display option which is in the multiple display drop down.(actually all my displays are set as extend desktop to this display)
you may have to drag and drop/juggle the three screens pictured to get tp get your mouse to run from left monitor to right monitor without jumping screens.
i think you can do it from cat control centre too. anyway once you got it set perfect open cat control and go to presets and add it with a hot key assigned, then make eyefinity group display so all three monitors act like one big one then save that too. when i want to game three screens all i do is press alt+g and when i want to work/surf i will press alt+d to get to three desktops.
OK, i got it working that way but for some reason the best resolution i can get from the Sammy is 800x600!!! It can support upto 1680 x 1050 so i dont know. I set other two screens to 1680 x 1050 thinking that would work but no such luck! I think i need to get a new 1080 screen.....but for now if anyone else has any ideas that would be great!
