Hi all,
I'm seeing a lot of video cards confirmed working, but the information on fully working multiple monitors seems sparse. I would really like if some folks with multi-monitor setups could post which cards they have, how many monitors connected, and what ports are used for the monitors.
I installed using Gordos Sandy Bridge method and so far have tried three video cards.
Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 "flex" edition - Works beautifully OOB with the 10.6.7 ATI kexts, but could not get multiple monitors working with Chimera boot loader. Tested all frame buffers. Some framebuffers showed 3 monitors, but only one display would power up. System profiler never showed it as a 5770, only a "5700 series".
XFX 5770 & XFX 6770 would not get to desktop, got stuck after loading DSMOS.
I am also interested in the idea of running dual graphics cards if each graphic card can only run 2 displays reliably. If anyone has that setup, please report. Thanks!
