Hi, I have an ASUS G73JH-A2 notebook with the mobility 5870. On ATI's website, it says that the 5870 mobility supports eyefinity. The outputs on this laptop are HDMI and VGA. I have 2 Samsung SyncMaster T220 22" 1680 x 1050 LCD monitors. I have them hooked up as follows: one HDMI to DVI adapter on laptop with DVI cord connected to display one VGA straight from laptop to other display I have tried 10.3a and 10.3b drivers, it appears that 10.3b notebook driver says that it is identical to 10.3a upon installation... In desktop + displays in CCC, it only allows me to create profiles of 2x1 and 1x2. No monitors are 'extended'. There is always 1 monitor (notebook LCD, or one of 2 displays) that must be disabled. Whenever I right click on the disabled one and click duplicate, it then prompts which display to disable... Is there any way I can run 3x eyefinity with laptop LCD in the middle and 2 monitors on the sides? Thanks, Junkmonk |

You're the first asking about this. I've always wondered how you would do Eyefinity on a laptop without three connections. |

Perhaps your laptop is only able to output to one of the two external connections at a time? My motherboard had 2 outputs, but was only able to output to one at a time. Are you unable to get all 3 displays working in extended mode or just unable to get them working in Eyefinity? |

the laptop has no problem outputting to 2 displays at once. i can output to both monitors, but then the laptop LCD has to be disabled. I haven't tried getting all 3 working in extended mode. I'll give it a shot and post back here. |

I also have the same laptop, with two 22 inch monitors I would like to setup using eyefinity. Was there any progress on finding this problem out of anybody that can throw some words of knowledge my way? Thanks |
