Q: Macpro 2013 multiple monitors
I have 2- 24 inch monitors connected to my MacPro 2013 through two mini display ports (dvi)
I just bought a 24 inch Monitor that connects through HDMI. I connected it to my MacPro and it now only sees one dvi display.
I unplug the HDMI and then it sees 2 monitors again... What's happening & how do I get it to see:
2 DVI displays and One HDMI display.
I did search.. but not much came up with this config
thanks
Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Ok.. So I got it working. Not so easy but working.
I bought one of these:

I turned off my MacPro and plugged in one of my DVI monitors into the new dual link - Made sure that my mini adapters were in different buses and plugged in my HDMI cable in back. Turned it on and only one dvi monitor came on. Then I unplugged (while it was still on) my HDMI cable and both monitors came on. Then I plugged in my HDMI and the HDMI it came on too. (all 3 worked) Not as simple as you would think it would be.
Poor documentation from Apple in regards to this.
Thanks everyone.
