you need a mini display port adapter in order to run eyefinity. if you dont, it wont be correcctly recognized. however, i dont remember if you need an active or passive adapter.

you can probably scratch the eyefinity thing, thats not really your problem.

the matrox takes the signal from your gpu and splits it internally. heres what i would look into:
a make sure the cables im using are known goods.
b ensure the monitor is indeed pluged in and on
c check in ccc for monitor configuration
d look into using hydra (dl from amd site)

I guess the big question should be is the matrox tiriple head compatable with the amd7970 card?
what do you think?

if its working, i would think its just fine. try installing just 2 displays into the card and see what that does.
