I just setup a new system, Specs below

 

Asus P8Z68 Deluxe

i7 2600k

8gb DDR3

Dual GTX460 768 (msi cyclones)

 

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to alot of this stuff. Though some of the DSDT stuff has me stumped, well all of it really. But I've setup enough hackintosh's at this point that I typically know what I'm looking for or where to find information I need to get things going. I found this guide as well which helped for the setup.

My problem is this. I had my dual display working until I applied the string in the org.chameleon.boot.plist form the above guide with the string to get the audio working. then upon rebooting I can only get 1 display.

 

This is my 4th installation so far, I had tried the latest nvidia driver update on the third install and could only get video on 2 out of 50 reboots without changing a dam thing, WTF

 

anyway, right now i'm using the lion driver, and I'm stuck with 1 monitor

 

I've done some digging and I understand the second card is essentially a paperweight as long as its in mac OS, but I dual boot windows on this machine so the second card stays.

 

I'm wondering if I should run GFXutil and add a string for the card or if there's a better solution? I just find it odd that it worked until i added the string for the audio

 

here's my current plist if it helps
