Radeon HD 6870 2nd Screen

[MacBeginner]

Hi!

I want to use a second monitor, but Lion only recognizes my first monitor(HDMI) but not the second screen(VGA-DVI Adapter).

The second monitor has HDMI, but my graphics card only has one HDMI port.

Should I get a HDMI to DVI or a HDMI to DP port adapter?

It works fine with windows and it also shows the apple bootscreen but then black screen

HDMI to DVI

With this adapter the second monitor will work, right?

Check out my post (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32540) on this very topic.

Are you suggesting that the 6870 doesn't work in duel mode... ?

Re: Radeon HD 6870 with 3 monitors

2 Monitors work with HDMI and DVI to HDMI.
If I connect a 3rd Monitor via Mini DP will it work with Lion?
