Geforce 8400GS 256MB DVi Error

Hello,

 

I've installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and used the Nvidia Installer V2.0 by Punk92 to set up my card.

I chose the 0.2.1 version of Nvinject and installation went smoothly.

I manually edited all the kext files as needed to set the device id of my gfx card to 0x042210de and system loads up perfectly.

 

My problem is, when i plug a VGA cable from my monitor to the pc, leopard boots fine, i can choose from a variant of display resolutions and everything is OK.

But when i'm trying to use a DVi cable, leopard boots with a black screen and just hangs up till i manually hard reset and switch back to the VGA cable.

 

Can anyone help me with this issue? i would really like to use the DVi of my gfx card for a better picture.

 

Thanks in advance,

mhu

Same problem here, MSI 8400GX 250Mb PCI-E. VGA is fine at 1280*1024, but DVI only gimme a picture for a few seconds if I hot plug it, and totally black when I reboot.

Maybe we can try something like this:

 

DVI output needs NVCAP edit. 04000000 00000300 04000000 00000007 00000000 worked.

 

Thats seem to work for 8400GS 512Mb.
