pelado68 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I tried Kalyway 10.5.2 and Leo4allv3 with all combination of kernells and kexts. The best result i get is 1280x800 resolution with NO quartz express and other advanced funcionality. Punk92 Installer 3.0 & NVinstallerV_41.pkg not recognized internal LCD, only external output. Does anybody get full funcionality on Nvidia 8400M GT ?

os_overload Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i have the same problems. I think there is a problem with the driver finding the lcd connector. The same issue is discussed here. If we could get the source to the nvidia drivers, it could probably be fixed, or we could try to hack the binary. I'm not sure if nvinject could affect the detection of the screens in this way either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane in the brain Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 got the same problem with sony vaio FZ21M. with the new OSx 2.0i, people got it fixed by installing kext and a update..... but i don't know how to fix these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth13 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How did you get 1280 x 800 resolution? I can't do it for some reason... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Did you try other NVCAP values? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth13 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Are you VAIO ownders currently running OS X with an external monitor (with video card fully working), or just using VESA 3.0 driver on your laptop lcd screen? Also, is there any way that I can look into the VESA 3.0 driver so that I can figure out how it's recognizing the laptop screen? I'm not sure which kext file to look at (if it uses it at all). Like you're suspecting, I'm very curious as to why the VESA 3.0 can communicate with the SONY laptop screen, while none of the 3rd party drivers (natit, nvinject, nvinjectgo) can. This is driving me nuts. It looks like Sony Vaio users can't run any decent applications or watch movies on their laptop screen, since they crash upon opening. Does anybody know how to watch movies/run iWork or any other software on their laptop screen? The only way to make the internal screen work is to remove any 3rd party driver (natit, nvinjectgo, or nvinject). Any help would be much appreciated! Otherwise, OS X is NOT worth using it on any of the Vaios (Laptops are meant to be portable where external monitors are not readily available).
