I have just got a new Dell Precision M6700 with the AMD FirePro M6000 graphics card. This apparently supports up to 6 displays. I have three displays plugged in but no matter what I try I cannot active the 3rd display. It just says "unable to save display settings" The monitor can be seen by Catalyst pro control center, but it just will not activate. I have the most up to date driver (8.951.6.1600) Please advise! Thanks

Please review the sticky at the top of catagory. 

The most important information the forum members need to help you address your issues is:

- exact details on all the specific outputs provided on the laptop
- exact details on how you have each display connected (adapters, cables, etc..)
- brand/model of each display connected

Sabakusousou, have you contacted Dell or asked this question on one of their forums yet? When it comes to laptops/notebooks, most of the time, you can find the answers to your questions much easier/quicker than you would be able to here.

The FirePro M6000 may be able to support up to 6 displays but the "M6000" that is inside your M6700 laptop may not be reference design and therefore may not be able to support that configuration.

So.....have you looked on Dell's site yet....contacted Dell's support desk?  Does your manual provide any information on this?  Again, AMD did not make your laptop so unless someone here actually owns the same laptop your chances are slim that you will find your answer here.
