Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 768 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0191 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX OpenGL Engine [EFI] Displays: Display Connector: Status: No display connected DELL2407WFPHC: Resolution: 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Is this why my color can't be callibrated? because my core image is hardware? I want to adjust the color profile but it does nothing....i'm using ideneb 1.3 at the moment.

MacUser2525 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Tthe hardware means the chip on the board is doing the graphics works like it should the software would mean your CPU is doing the work the graphics card should be doing. BTW I have the same monitor it lets me calibrate it plus gives me the full resolution. How do you have it connected to the card DVI or VGA connector/cable? Also you want the cable connected to the primary DVI port it is the one closest to the motherboard.

That is what I thought was going on seems quite common on these things strange part is if you have two monitors like I do then it lets you calibrate the both of them with no problem.

gawkersucks Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If have an Nvidia video card and was able to fix that by removing all NVxxxx and GeFxxx kexts, installed the Leopard Graphics update and then the latest NVDarwin.
