Full Version: 8600M GT VGA Out! (SOLVED)

Hi!
I'm on a hackintosh laptop with iDeneb 10.5.5 and I'm running it with a Nvidia 8600M GT 256mb card.
It works but not on VGA Out (I only have VGA out, no DVI!).
When I connect another monitor to the laptop, both the laptop and the monitor's screens turns black. The only way to get myself out of this state is to hit the power off button on my computer.

I have tried to change the NVCAP number on the nvkush.kext I am using from the orignal number to "04000000 00000100 02000000 00000007 00000000" which I read would be a solution to this issue in a thread but it didn't change or affected anything in my case.

My System Profiler says this under the graphic section:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: Mac
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T8300 @
Processor Speed: 2.39 GHz
Total Number Of Cores: 1
L2 Cache: 3 MB
CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL VMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: BOOT.88Z.EFI.V80.061193037 (Phoenix Technologies LTD)
Serial Number: CK157KMHK5B



So the laptop is running under the right settings with hardware support and alld ( I can play games like Age of Empire 3 without any problem or stuttering at all) but the VGA doesn't work.

I have searched around the forum for some days but haven't found any thread with another solution but the one that I already tried.

I hope you guys can help me

PS. NVKUSH seems to be the only kext that will work on OS X

Help would be appreciated rolleyes.gif

Solved this issue today using Nicholaslee's solution.
Changed NVCAP on NVKUSH.kext in Info.plist to: 04010101 0E000100 0E000000 0000010B 00000000

Don't forget to repair permissions before you reboot!

Cheers! 
