Hi,

The problem is that pc (win7 64bit) well detect the 5 monitors, but in the CCC only create a 4x1 group:




When i try to create a 4x1 group the setup stop after few time:



I try in all mode, the adapter are the same type all is perfect, but i cant create a 5x1 group, one monitor remain in standby.
Waht can i do to resolve this problem?

many thanks,
SImone

Hi,

Could you please provide more detail on the monitors, cabling and any adaptors you are using?

Are you able to enable the 5 monitors in windows desktop?

If I recall Eyefinity will setup 4 displays in landscape, but to achieve 5 monitors the monitors must be in portrait mode.

Hi Delphium,
the monitors are 3 x LG 17" 4:3 and 2 19" wide.
On the desktop and also the ATI ccc can activate all 5 monitors without problems:



my system has a 1000w PSU, a quadcore Q9550 at 2.8ghz, 8mb RAM

Ok, have you attempted to setup the monitors in portrait mode?

....sorry i missing that there arent monitors in protrait mode.

You can do 5x1-L and 5x1-P now. But your monitors need to be the same res. You are mixing and matching, it appears.

yes are
3 x 1240x1028
2 x 1920x1080

but in the past have just configured different monitors....

Eyefinity forces each monitor to the same res.
