First the setup:
Board: P8Z68-V Pro (Haven't updated to the 1101 bios yet)
Processor: i7-2600k
Graphics: XFX Radeon 6870 HD (2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 2x Mini DisplayPort).
OS: Lion 10.7.4
At the moment I'm running flawlessly with 2 screens (2 LG's) with one hooked up to DVI and the other to HDMI.
Yesterday I've finally bought the 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display. I figured I should have no problem considering I have
mini displayports on the card and people are reporting they're working out of the box. I'm getting, however, no video.
The screen doesn't turn on at all.
Setting graphicsenabler=no doesn't help.
Tried unhooking the other screens, and various combinations like (only DP+HDMI or DP+DVI) but nothing seems to work.
Haven't tried hooking up the display to the HDMI/DVI ports yet because I don't have the adapter but if all else fails I'll go this route.
What things could I check before I'm forced to try plugging it into HDMI? (i'm really bent on getting this to work on the display port because it means I can run it at the native 2550x1440 res instead of compromising on regular HD res. It's just not worth the money if I can't run it in native res.)
