Help Set Up Multiple Monitors for Precision M6600 with Dell Dock
I am using a Precision M6600 with an AMD FirePro M8900 graphics card. My laptop sits in a Dell Dock and has two Samsung flat screen monitors connected to the dock using DVI cables. Now, from everything I have researched my laptop should be capable of using more than just two screens. What I want to do is utilize my laptop screen as well as the two monitors. I have done a bunch of research but have been unable to find any clear cut explanations on how to set this up. Any help would be appreciated with this matter.
As far as I know, you can't use two DVI cables for that - one has to be on the VGA with a display port adapter - that's how I got mine to work.
Did you check you this post?

I searched around until I figured out that I had to change a setting in the BIOS to make more than two monitors active at a time. I think it is called optimus and is found in the BIOS under video.

I am using the same hardware and have had the same issue for over a year. I have tried with two dvi cables, one dvi cable with a display port adapter. Now matter what I've tried, I can't get it to work. Lots of sites say that it works, but give no details on how.
