Good day! :)

I have a problem with my triple screen setup on my hackintosh. (i have a z77 ds3h board with an ati 6870)

It works all fine and almost oob, today i wanted to setup my third screen.

But after plugin in with mini display port, i see that the third screen has stripes on it and a piece of the screen is missing. (It's not a defect screen, i swear ;))

The others screens are plugged in with hdmi & dvi.

The tricky thing is, i have plugged out all of them and after 4 or 5 times pluggin off and pluggin in the 3 works. After a reboot the error / problem comes back.

I have attached a photo of the third "problem" screen.

I had a similar issue. I believe it's caused because of the mini dp converter. In 10.8 all you have to do is go to sleep and then wake up and it will be perfect!

In 10.8.2 the issue is completely fixed I believe.
 
Hi,

i'm already on 10.8.2 and i have tested the sleepmode out, but the "bug" is still there :(
 
I don't really know what to say then. I only had a problem with the stripes not the screen being cut off.

Maybe trying a different mini display-port adapter would fix it?
