hi guys
having a couple of problems getting a multi monitor setup working
I'm trying to drive 3 displays for a 5830 under windows 7, 2 dvi monitors 1680x1050 and a 1080i lcd over hdmi under windows 7.
My 5830 has a mini displayport, a dvi and an hdmi connector. I have the lcd tv connected to the hdmi connector, one monitor connected to the dvi port and the other connected to the displayport via one of these.
I can't get the desktop extended to all three desktops simultaneously, I get the following error message "To extend the desktop, a desktop or display must be disabled."
After a bit of googling it appears that I may need an active mini displayport to dvi adaptor.
My question is is this the case and if so will this adaptor solve my problems?
thanks
