Have installed OSX Yosemite successfully using Clover 2953 as my bootloader (UEFI). Everything is working fine except my second monitor does not turn on. The monitor turns on fine when booting from the USB drive created by unibeast (chimera).

Asus R9 270x 2GB

Is there a trick to getting dual monitor support? I haven't used Clover previously.

Thank you.

Try putting your computer to sleep and waking it. Then plug your second monitor and see if it turns on. Another person has this issue using Clover. I use chimera set up with EFI and I get duel monitor. Chimera recognizes my 270x as radeon 7xxx but I think clover sees it as R9 270x. I would try using chimera efi partition install if you don't mind the wrong device being shown. I am going to try clover when I get home because I am having issues with my card as well.
 
I've had the same problem, solved using the attached config.plist

Does the displayport connector work in Yosemite on the MSI R9 270X?
 
I have the same Problem with my r9 270x.
I do get both DVI outputs to work seperately (hdmi and DP does not work at all) but not together.
I've installed Yosemite using Clover and used the ConnectorData and Path you specified above. I did change the System output from one DVI output to the other, but I do not get them working at the same time. I understand that the AtiConnectorsData has something to do with the way the system handles the outputs but i I could not figure out how to configure properly (the script and manual provided here did not help as well).
I would really apprechiate it, if someone had a clue of how to deal with this problem since I have been trying to get it to work for two days now without much success.
Especially knowing that there are working dual monitor setups with the r9 270x is quite frustrating ;)
 
Ok,
so some news on that part:
I finally did manage to get a Dual Monitor setup to work using the ATIConnectorData, ATIConnectorPath and Futomaki device name in the clover settings.
Turns out, that it could not recognise the second monitor because it was not connected via native DVI but a VGA adaptor. It works fine with a second native DVI monitor.
Also, die DisplayPort functions (via DVI adaptor, no problem).
BUT I still cannot get the HDMI port to work, neither in single nor in dual monitor setup.
Connected to the HDMI is a HD TV (so no adaptors involved...).
So my question would be regarding the previous post:

how exactly did you generate these Codes controlling the outputs? Do you use HDMI? Does it work?
At this point, Im not even asking about triple Monitor setups....
But at least it would be nice to be able to hot plug the HDMI TV when needed.
any suggestions would be appreciated :)
 
Does anyone have any ideas?

matfortu's config worked for me. Main monitor is a 2k over DisplayPort. Second monitor is 1080p over HDMI. The problem I'm having now is I get static jolts every once in a while over the monitor and speakers--even when I do DisplayPort/main, DVI/secondary. Tonight after I try a fresh install (using Clover) I'm going to try a few more configurations like double DVI and DVI/main, HDMI/secondary. Do you have any updates with your troubleshooting?
 
No, so far i could not get HDMI to work.
I think I will switch to another graphic card...
