    Hi,

    as I have found just poor information about Eyefinity on 8460p with 6470M, I'm just creating this thread to share some experience on this.
    Docking station is NZ223AA.

    According to ATI's homepage, you just need 2 DisplayPorts and 2 DVI/HDMI/VGA ports, which are available on the docking station.

    For the 8440w/8740w series there is information about eyefinity, which sais you should connect one display to the display port of your notebook, 2 to the DVI/Display ports and one to the VGA port, however I did not try this yet.

    Has anyone succeeded in establishing a notebook + 4 Displays setup? Linux or Windows?

    Best regards,
    BurtaN

    I'm running the internal display + 3 external displays (2x display port, 1x vga), works great on linux and windows.

    Can i get it running with the internal display + 2 external displays without using a display port? All my monitors are either vga or dvi.
