Hagar Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 How about making a proper tutorial instead of this? Quite apart from allowing more effective develpment & giving people a "leg up" towards making further discoveries, this avoids clogging the forum with endless "me too" requests for help.

Hacktrix2006 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi right cu3edweb i need you to send me a complete IOREG dump this should then included your EDID and strings i need. This should help out with your problems! zAo the X4500 is not supported by apple but if you do the same i'll see if i can trick it to think its a X3100. I can't promise you anything!

thatriad Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 hello, first of all, thanks alot for this great effort. unfortunately my search for EDID in the IORegistry explorer turns up nothing? even a search for vga shows nothing. I am on a dell inspiron 1520 with iatkos v4 10.5.4. I have the display fully working with the a sleep/wake trick, dont know if that makes any difference as to why its not showing up. I would love to give you the string otherwise... thanks for any help thatriad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
