xialutron Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 hello everyone, this is my first post here but I have been reading a lot on this forum. I recently proceed again to the installation of OS x kalyway on my pc (alienware). I have been looking since quite a while to succeed to make the two sli cards working on this computer or at least to be recognised. I used EFI studio to edit my com.apple.boot.plist with the card 8800GT (I read somewhere that this card is supposed to be compatible with the 9800Gt that I have on my computer). Well anyway after installing this, I managed to bootup and to see that the card is now detected with 512 MO Vram and as 8800GT. I can now select the screen resolution but the problem is : I can't see any drop down menu. They actually appear completely white. The content appear for few nanoseconds and despear. Which is pretty annoying :s Does anymone had the same issue that I currently have ? I am using the kalyway 10.5.2, and I only used the efi studio to modify my .plist your help will be really welcome thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137456-white-drop-down-menu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
