hhi2 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I am currently using VGA port for my 8400GS video card, and have spent a lot of time to Calibate the color and fixing dual monitors, but fail. Could anyone tell me that if there is a driver for my Gigabyte 8400GS video card which support dual monitors? I have already search and read many posts, but still been confused the steps to fix my 8400GS card. If this is there is NO drive for the card, then, I have to buy a replacement; is there any low end ATI card (I don't play gam or use 3D graphic) which is easy for me to attach dual monitor by going through easy driver installation? Appreciate very much if anyone can advise me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yes it could work with dual monitors, at least the mobile version does. You just need to adjust the NVCAP value for the outputs you wan to use. Is different for VGA+DVI than VGA+TV or DVI+TV or DVI+DVI, etc. there are some threads about NVCAP values, and also some thread for 8400 cards. PS: mirror display does not work on hackintoshes.

kramers_butler Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 hhi2-- how did you get your 8400 gs working? I installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and got that running through the integrated graphics on the motherboard. When I added the video card to connect to my plasma tv, Leopard starts to boot and then goes black. It still works through the monitor when I disconnect the video card. I know the card/tv connection work b/c it displays fine when I boot in Vista.
