Hi,
I got problem when trying to connect second display to my laptop. Laptop has only HDMI and miniDP port and monitor has DVI-D and D-SUB. So i used HDMI cable with DVI adapter. It looks like its working, i can see my monitor name in device manager, there is signal (there is no "no signal" message) and i can move my mouse in expand mode BUT monitor stays blank, all the time black. My laptop is MSI GE72 and display is iiyama ProLite E2208HDS. Monitor is working fine with my PC with standard DVI cable.
