Has anyone successfully connected an external vga display to their go7600 card ? Its detected when booting, but dissapears right before login screen. I read someone else had the same problem, any solution to this ?

[NET]

Ok guys, The Question Is:

HOW PEOPLE WITH GMA900 (i915) can start their laptops without external display?

i have started HP PAvilon 4000 on my friends lappy on build in LCD but next time it started with bluescreen :/

i have got Macbook Pro C2D for my own use but his lappy has got a problem.

right now i cant find solution here. so maby we will do some HOWTO ?
short one, from beggening to last fix in kexts for dummy people like me

[MacSimilian]

anyone with a geforce 8600 M GT? and when will it be supported? is it hard to support this card? thx

[GremliN]

The card is so new, they haven't just looked at it yet as almost nobody has it yet... Maybe it works, maybe not. If you have it, help the people here to support it by giving information they need.

[Azurael]

No... When will people actually read through the forum before posting here? Aren't there enough threads and posts on this forums asking if G8x cards will work? It won't work 'till Apple use a G8x-based card themselves, and even then there may be issues getting a new-build Apple kext to work with non-EFI cards.

Sorry to rant, but the signal to noise ratio on this forum is getting silly.

i have seen on a newssite that the new imac will have a 8xxx card. this would be great...

if not i can at least use it in VESA 3 mode with just 16mb vram. thats better than no OSX at all.

what patch/extension did you install for your GFX ? What's your OSX version ?
did you try to boot with -v flag (verbose mode) to see where you're getting stuck ?

I have a clevo d900k laptop with an nvidia geforce go 7900 gtx (256 mb), just installed 10.4.10 tubgirl (also have tried jas 10.4.8, same results): I get a black screen when using nvdaresman. i have installed natit, titan, nvinjectgo, laptopdisplay and every combination of these kexts. I have also added my device id to geforce.kext, nvdaresman and nvdanv40hal.kext (device id is 0x0299, vendor 10de ((0x029910de))) attatched is a screenshot of my edid data acquired from nvidia-settings put through a hex editor.

by the way, this happened when i first installed the nvidia proprietary driver in linux, the solution for me then was to add
Option "modevalidation" "novertrefreshcheck"
to the device section of my xorg.conf file.

What should I do after I download the laptodisplay.kext file onto my dexktop

[Carlos Pombo]

My Laptop display fails to assume and work with any display calibration or color icc profile.
I'm able to calibrate and output a profile using Spyder2 calibration tool. Happens that none of available profiles works. Changing profiles as no visual changes in display.
It is useless for photographic editing.
Using ATIRadeon9700 and koverge patch I can get CI & QE working, even Q2E with some occasional display refreshment square loses.

Who can help me suggesting what to change or look for? Seems to be something related with the way Graphics establish connection with Laptop display.

Graphics ATI x700 Mobility Radeon 128MB

Tks
Carlos

Hi, first of all: i'm new here and trying to understand what it's all about.

I have a problem with my medion laptop (md95800) with  Intel GMA900 GFX.
After the installation the pc boots with an external display, but not with the internal.
After that i've followed the LaptopDisplay steps, which didn't do anything (maybe i did something wrong??).
Then i've  tryed typing -F platform=X86PC at the boot, which kinda worked, and got me onto the desktop without backlight (backlight falls out after the blue loading screen).
Same thing happens with the paperclip trick.

So, my backlight doesn't light up on the desktop.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
