Can't dual screen with GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6850

[riycemd]

So I'm new to this whole thing but i got my rig running the way i want it to except having the ability to use two monitors. One being a AOC Razor 21.5" and a Cintiq 21 UX.
I tried a few things from just reading the post in the forum but none of them really activate the other 3 ports.

I'm getting a little frustrated and thinking of just getting a screen splitter like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158251
Or another graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125353

But before i do anything drastic and stupid can anyone here help me?
Methods i tried are:
changing my original org.chameleon.boot.plist graphics setting

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string>
to:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000, AtiConfig=Bulrushes, AtiPorts=4</string>

Injecting Kext graphics enablers <--- ended badly

Anyways thanks for reading this post and any feedback except making fun of the noob would be appreciated.

I'm using Gigabyte 6870, I had to use GraphicsEnabler=No in order to get all ports working. Try it out.

Tried these:

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string>

and

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000, AtiConfig=Bulrushes, AtiPorts=4</string>

but neither of them worked. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Try installing the 10.7.2 combo update, then BEFORE restart install multi beast with the right choices for your system (make sure to use DSDT and NOT easybeast)
Then go into you boot.plist and apply GraphicsEnabler=No, Then restart.

This method will give you "Vanilla" kexts, in case you modified any of your drivers.

Also: does your card has "Reference" design?

I already have lion 10.7.2 should i install it again?

and i am assuming that i have the reference design cause it says i can over clock the card.
do you know how i can check? and how is the reference design relevant?

I know you have 10.7.2 installed. I'm asking you to install the 10.7.2 Combo Update, which will result in replacing all your current display kext, and might resolve the problem.

For the reference design, I think it isn't related to OC, it's related to which ports your graphic card has. Usually Gigabyte makes reference design, but you can check it by searching "reference design 6850" in google or some similar expression. Just check if you have the same amount of each connector type (DVI, DP, HDMI etc.) as the reference design of this model,

Well i did everything that you suggested but still no result the monitor will boot up only up to apple then have no signal when the lion galaxy wallpaper appears.

As for the graphics card i do have a reference design similar to other radeon 6850s.

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000, AtiConfig=Bulrushes, AtiPorts=4</string>

You'll need to use GraphicsEnabler=Yes or AtiPorts and AtiConfig won't work!

<key>AtiPorts</key>
<string>4</string>
<key>Darkwake</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000</string>

At the very top i did try that just in a different format
however I'm very desperate so i tried your format but it didn't work as well..

Thanks for the response though!

Try boot with: PCIRootUID=0 , if work, add in boot.plist like that:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>npci=0x2000</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>AtiConfig</key>
	<string>Duckweed</string>
	<key>AtiPorts</key>
	<string>4</string>
	<key>Darkwake</key>
	<string>0</string>
	<key>PCIRootUID</key>
	<string>0</string>

I bought Sapphire HD 6850 today and not work dual screen, so i try with PCIRootUID=0 and work fine.
