Don't worry about your English........I cannot speak Czech........LOL

Try switching your monitor/display connector cable to the other port on your graphics card.........

I have 1 VGA port on my motherboard (integrated Nvidia 6150SE) + 1 VGA and 1 DVI on GPU (8400GS). My monitor have only VGA output, so only option is put monitor in integrated Nvidia 6150SE, but then i cannot choose any resolution except 800x600...thats really frustrating :/

Use a DVI to VGA converter.

You can use a VGA to DVI adapter.............or, see here........or, use an EFI graphics string for your 8400GS in your com.apple.boot.plist, or modify the info.plist of your graphics injector kext with the correct NVCAP value......

So....thanks so much i'll buy DVI to VGA adapter, but can you please explain to me what is EFI string and how i can change it? Thaaaannnkkksss !

See this nice clear simple guide by oldnapalm for getting an NVIDIA graphics card up and running under OSx86.......

 

You can now run Dr. Hurt's Chameleon 2.0 RC4 Installer and in com.apple.Boot.plist, include these lines:

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

If that alone does not work, then try:

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>yes</string>

<key>PciRoot</key>

<string>1</string>

 

If one or the other of the above works, post all that you then see under Graphics/Display in System Profiler........

 

Only if the above does not work, will we try EFI graphics string, or NVEnabler approaches........
