Try another DVI port on your graphics card.

DVI-D is something different than DL-DVI.

You need a DL-DVI cable. DVI-D just means it's digital, as opposed to DVI-A, which is analog, or DVI-I which is both. All of these can be dual link (DL) or single link (SL). You need a DL-DVI cable. (When you buy it, it must say "Dual Link".)
