nVidia Geforce Go 7600 - Sony Vaio - Lion

[Kaylie52]

Hi there.

 

I've been scouting the forums for a good couple days, googling and I've finally given up and I'm now asking for help.

 

I've gotten so far that the OS now knows that It is a GeForce Go 7600, however I still have no display options.

 

I read in a very old thread from 10.5 that people with vaios had issues getting the internal display of their laptops working with the go series. I've not found much that has helped.

 

Is anyone here able to come up with any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it.

post a full report with app Darwin Dumper, and your Extra folder

[Kaylie52]

I'm not sure If I'm doing something wrong. But I can't seem to get Darwin Dumper to open. I've tried several different versions.

 

Here is the extras folder anyway, I'm going to have to get back to you on the darwin report. 

 

Edit: graphics enabler didn't help.

Hi, thankyou for your reply. 

Unfortunately that hasn't worked, nothing has changed.
