Article: v5 - n546 - rev 5 - 6 output on new mac pro

[samsc]

Yeah, 10.10.2

The system was:
- two PTDX100 projectors fed out of Thunderbolt ports via apple MiniDP to VGA adaptors
- programming monitor out of another Thunderbolt port and sent to an Adderlink X200 KVM
- Decklink Intensity Extreme capturing HDMI into a further Thunderbolt port

thanks-
please email me pdf profile from catalyst- running this version
it contains the crash logs-

[samsc]

please try n546 - it reduces memory use which seems to help flashing and glitching in low memory conditions

What are you using for hard drives in this setup? What video resolution and codec are you testing at?

So i blew up my first Mac Pro. Literally killed it with 4 screens looping 4K video for 24 hrs. On to #2. One think that i am seeing now that i am using the star tech active adaptors is that the screens do not ID correctly in the Catalyst software. For example Screen 1 is mapped to screen 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 4 to 4. If i switch 2 & 3 in the catalyst software they both now want to work on screen 2 and i can't assign anything to screen 3. I have tried a new set of preferences with no luck. I would think with the way you have set this up you wanted to allow us to fix a bad screen assignment by an easy software swap.

dont change screens assignment in catalyst - it doesn't work

all screen setup and assignment needs to be done without catalyst running-
as OS makes all sorts of hidden changes

all screen setup and assignment is done by OS - in whatever order it chooses - not me - i can't control any of this

you just can't do this! OS controls everything

Then what are these values for? Use Display Index 1 - 4

And actually now that i had dumped my prefs and started fresh i can put screen 1 into full screen twice, screen 2 once, screen 3 once, and i can't go to full screen at all on screen 4. Unless of course i mess with those settings....
