I have been attempting to get this problem resolved off and on for quite some time now. Recently I upgraded 2 of my monitors so that all of them are displayport monitors. I have 4 x NEC EA231WMi and 2 x NEC E231W. They are all connected directly via mini-DP to DP cables (no adapters are used). These are simply single cables running directly from the video card to the monitor.
Yet, I can only get up to 3 monitors to run in Eyefinity. I have been successful in getting Eyefinity to run in 3x1 configs on either the upper or lower rows (I have the monitors setup in a 3x2) array.
I need assistance in getting all 6 screens running in a 3x2 config. I am at such a loss of how to get this to work. Nothing I have tried in the past seems to have worked. I have tried the 10.10 drivers and the most recent 11.6 drivers. No luck! Every time I try to setup a 3x2 setup I see either nothing happen, or the display will change to a different monitor, but with nothing else changed.
Is it possible that the cables are bad? Tell me if these are not correct: I have 3 x 6ft 32AWG DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort Cable - White (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606&p_id=6007&seq=1&format=2) and 3 x 10FT 32AWG DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort Cable (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606&p_id=6008&seq=1&format=2). Are they too long? Or are the specs just wrong? If so, what do I need?
