Any results with the new 10.7's? I'd test, but my card is still in the mail...

10.7 did not fix it for me. Very unhappy, what a pain in the rear this has become.

okay im glad to hear that this is some kind of driver problem, not some hardware fault on my end

anyway, i have 1 dvi 1080p monitor , 1 dvi 1024x768 projector and 2 1024x768 vga projectors... all of them connected via bizlink active adapters, and the vga projectors use the HDFury digital-analog converters

and the only consistent thing is that any of them could be losing the signal, whichever port i plug them into, and it does not change until i change the display connections... it seems that sometimes, when i have 2 or 3 displays plugged in, plugging in another display would make the signal problems go away... once or twice it was as simple as unplugging and reconnecting into the same port... but the thing which helped the most often was simply plugging the display into a different port... which is not the true purpose of display port ...

this might be related, but the topmost (furtherest away from the MB) displayport output seems to have trouble recognizing the displays i plug into it when there are other displays plugged in... my monitor often shows up as 'generic pnp monitor' if i plug it into that port when im using multiple displays


one last thing, i think i remember seeing the signal problems when i am using the passive displayport - dvi adapters too, it was a long night of testing and my recollection is abit fuzzy about it... i just wanted my computer to work by the time im doing my gig this weekend!

this is pure horse*!#&

ati needs to address this issue immediately. its been going on for 6 months without a fix.


seriously, is anyone running a 3 monitor setup without the blinking issue ? if so, how and why ?

Yes, mine is not blinking at all.

How?, I'm using minidp -> VGA adapters.
Why?, It was cheaper and worked without a hitch.

My concern with getting the min dp/vga adapter was that i would not get 5040X1050 res and would be limited to 3840x800.

Um all my panels except my 30" are running in full 1080p, which is a good deal bigger than your 1680x1050. The VGA adapter is good to 1920x1200 imho. I think it can go higher than that, I just don't have a monitor that take VGA that goes bigger then that.

Also if you're worried about color, I cant tell the difference between the VGA and DVI monitors. But then Again I have TN monitors hooked up.

for me i am able to use my computer without the blinking most of the time, the signal problems are the exception rather than the rule
but yes i'd rather them not happen at all

isnt it just plain statistics that the chances of you seeing the blinking on any of your monitors is proportional to the number of monitors you run? sometimes i get it on the only display i am using...

I get no blinking at all (none, zero), but limited to 10.2 drivers, nothing newer.

5850x2 in Crossfire
19" DVI monitor from DP output (Dell active adapter)
22" DVI monitor from DVI output
19" DVI monitor from HDMI output

The resolution is 3840x1024.
