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 ?

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.

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).
