AMD Radeon HDMI-screen is black

My computer has a dual monitor setup. Until a few days ago, I managed to use Arch Linux with AMD Catalyst so I could have 2 monitors, but due to an update of Gnome, my Xorg crashed. I changed to the xf86-video drivers. My screen connected to VGA works perfectly, but the screen connected to the HDMI stays black. Gnome recognises the screen (Settings->Display) and I can enable it. My screens are identically and when I use only the HDMI-screen, it works fine. Only the dual-screen setup does not work. I should note that I use a cable from HDMI to DVI-D, I dont know whether that mathers or not.

My computer has an AMD Radeon 6500D.
I have 2 Philips 170B monitors.
Gnome 3.12
Xorg-server 1.15.1-1

Thanks!
