First the relevant specs:
6970
3 x Dell U2412M using 2 x DVI 1 x Mini displayport->reg displayport cable
5760x1200
I turn on my pc tonight and my lcd connected with the displayport won't get a single, it goes into powersave mode and I get some sort of error regarding the displayport, something along the lines of "The system has detected a problem with the connection between your computer and the DisplayPort display that will prevent you from using the highest resolutions and/or refresh rates."
Any ideas? The LCD appears to work with a DVI connection but won't work even if I swap around the display ports connections on my vid card.
EDIT. Appears to be the LCD. I swapped positions with one of the other lcd's and the setup is back to normal. Could the cable have cause an issue with the lcd or could it have been just a bad monitor?
