when you plug them in what happens man? you never told us?

hey dude, I thought you'd call ..... jeeez

If I connect the display port with a DVI cable attached all bets are off. If I attach the two DVI and one HDMI, I can tie all three screens together but once I meld them into one, the center screen becomes untouchable. It displays, but the mouse won't fall on it.

I'm going to try (again) using a HDMI/DVI coverter cable and see if that helps, but IIRC, that gave me the floating middle screen also

if using a converter you may need an active converter man.

an active HDMI/DVI converter? or a DP/DVI active converter. People on Hardforum claimed to use a HDMI/DVI cable and it worked fine. Could be my cable is torqued but I haven't had a chance to get out and buy another one yet to test that out.

Ive had a few that were finnicky but connecting DVi>DVI on 2 displays.... HDMI>HDMI on another and
DP>DP on another worked just fine for me.
