    In the past I have run multiple monitors off my m15x using the display port to hdmi adapter and the vga port... The last time I used this setup I had no issues but I went to set everything up tonight and its just not working...

    I will get both monitors to show the expanded display for a few minutes, however when I mess with the resolutions of either display the screens goes blank for a moment the hdmi connected monitor will turn back on with the updated resolution but the vga connected monitor than says it is receiving no signal... what am I doing wrong?

    thanks in advance for the help

    **I'm stupid and figured it out haha**

    Are you using windows or the driver to set the resolution?
