Re: [Libreboot] DisplayPort to DVIl or HDMI converters?

[Damien Zammit]

Hi Ben,

I just tried mine with 2 external monitors, DP->DVI + VGA and internal
LVDS still on, I can't get all three to power up, or even 2 without LVDS. :(
I'm not sure if this is a restriction of the hardware or if it's the
dongle, can someone please confirm if they have 2 monitors working with
X200?

Thanks,
Damien
