Please read and follow my post for MSI Hawk 5770 card in which I can get 3 displays (HDMI, DP and DVI) working at the same time. Before patching ATIFramebuffer, the original Eulemur FB can activate DP-->HDMI display with HDMI audio & video at the same time. You may try it at first.

Please check whether you have missed something below :

1. Chameleon bootloader RC5 v.700

2. Kabyl's new boot file in /root

3. Snow leopard 10.6.5/10.6.6

4. com.apple.Boot.plist in/Extra: AtiConfig=Vervet (case sensitive !!!) -v arch=x86_64 (64-bit) GraphicsEnabler=Yes

No AtiROM, No Aty_init.kext (unless you use arch=i386 32-bit mode & GraphicsEnabler=No)

 

Please try again !

That's quite normal for you now.

Before patching your ATIFramebuffer, at most you can get two ports working only (e.g. DVI+DVI, or HDMI+DVI).

Please follow my post for MSI Hawk 5770 or Asus EAH 5770 to edit your ATIFramebuffer, then you can get 3 ports working at the same time (DP+HDMI+DVI).

I have mentioned before that only using DP-->DP after patching.

Or using DP-->HDMI then you need AtiConfig=Eulemur instead of Vervet now.

My guide is working for DP-->DP, HDMI-->HDMI, DVI-->DVI (or VGA-->VGA).

Using convertor such as DP-->DVI or DP-->HDMI you may get unexpected results depending upon your hardware (ATI card).
