Alienware M14x MiniDisplay Port -> DVI not working
All,
I have an Alienware M14x laptop with Windows 7. It is standard build Core i7 2720 with 8gb ram and the NVidia555 3GB video card. I am unable to spawn an extended desktop with the minidisplay port adapter -> DVI.
I have tried many different variant of cable (which are known functional) and several different monitors (which are known functional). No love. The screen blanks after the minidisplay port adapter is put in but the secondary screen never get a signal and the laptop display pops a message "Desktop Window Manager stopped working and was closed".
The VGA out works fine. Any ideas on whats wrong? I tried several adapter types and sent the laptop to Dell. No joy.

Hey!
Well It works with me! So I guess there is something wrong. I suggest to contact dell. I used the mini port to dvi and hdmi. It all woks fine. So there must be something wrong with the hardware in your m14x, Because it should work!
