caver99 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi all, Heres one for you all. I have the above card in my hackintosh and all is ok i can play games and the like BUT theres one thing thats strange. I have a JMB 22" lcd tv as a monitor plugged in via either the 15 pin d on the card or via a dvi to vga adapter either way i cant get a piture if i turn on the mackintoch but if i plug in the HDMI cable aswell i get a picture with the correct res for the screen and i CAN use the HDMI aswell but i only want 1 monitor, i have tried a normal 1280x1025 19" monitor and the same result. Question is how do/can i make the hack pic the right output an stick to it? Oh and its Mac OS X 10.7.4 fully updated to the latest patch. Thanks all.

eep357 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 yup, you can type it at boot to try it once, if it helps you can add it permanently by editing /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
