I have been trying to get my hdtv setup with my pc as a 3rd monitor for a while, so my friend gave me a mini-dp to hdmi active adpater as a b-day gift.
Unfortunately I have a 6950 that doesn't have any mini-display ports on it.
Rather than going through the trouble of taking it back, I picked up a Display port to mini display port adapter.
On setting it up, I cannot get it to work. Does the passive adapter connected to active adapter just not work? Or could one of the links be damaged?
To clarify, I have DP(normal) to DP(mini) passive connected to a DP(mini) to HDMI active.
When I plug the setup in, the monitor turns on as it would when I connect it normally, then just says no hdmi signal then goes back onto standby.
Thanks ahead.
