I have a single 6870 with the following monitors

1024 x 786 in with a VGA cable, DVI adapter in the DVI port
1920 x 1080 monitor with HDMI cable
------------

I am trying to use my 40" TV as a third monitor. I am using an HDMI cable, with a HDMI to mini-displayport adapter.

Here's the problem:
My computer detects "SAMSUNG" and it's set to disable monitor. When I try to set it to "Extend desktop" nothing happens on my TV, and it won't let me save the settings.

The cables and TV both work as I've manged to get the TV to display my desktop with the adapter when using it as a main monitor.

You mean my HDMI to mini-displayport thingy? How do I tell if it's active or passive?
