So basically, got one of the older model 27" Cinema Displays with the mini display port and a mini display port to display port adapter. Hooked it into my computer and ... nothing ... it's not detecting it and nothing changes on my primary screen. Weirdly, when i up and even into my windows 8 partition, it shows up perfectly fine and even has audio playing through it OOB. It's just when i get past the white logo that it pretty much turns itself off and isn't detected for some reason.

I'm running Nvidia web driver: 346.01.02f04 (up to date) and CUDA driver version 7.0.36.

I tried switching back to the OSX default graphics driver from the nvidia driver instead of using the nvidia one and although the cinema display did finally show me the login screen, it was really low resolution and just had a forever logging in spinner which was a bit weird. Took me a good half hour just to get back in through safe mode (and using a dell monitor) to reinstall the nvidia drivers and to switch back to that.

Am i missing something? Do i need some kind of kext? is there an old version of the nvidia driver that detects cinema displays? I tried googling around and couldn't find anything.

If anyone could help me with this, it'd be much appreciated.
