Re: OT: Eyefinity with four monitors (was: Re: one desktop on four monitors ?)

Well the Flex only got a build in adapter.

But you can't use the hdmi output for a 3. monitor while using 2x dvi.
That hat something to do with clock..whatever :D I talked about that
issue at the radeon mailing list. I got a 5750 and I can't use the hdmi
output while  using 2xdvi (I tried it with the newest kernel). For the
third monitor I've now an active dvi->dp adapter from sapphire (single
link only). The price in germany is about 25euro, that was fine for
me :)

If you really want to use 4 displays you'll need displayport and a card
with min. 2xdvi + 2xdp (I guess there is no such a card) or a card with
4x dp (and active adapters if your have non-dp displays).

Regards,
Felix
