Noah Body Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi! I have an Dell XPS Gen 2 (one of the originals) and it has the NVidia 68000 Go Ultra graphics chips. My problem was this: I could't get my laptop display to work without having an external (DVI) monitor plugged in. Usually I would get either a light blue screen with a mouse cursor, or the iDeneb screen would switch back and forth to the light blue screen and sometimes just a black screen. I edited plists, installed titan (among many others, including LaptopDisplay) and did eveything that I could find by searching and experimenting. I couldn't seem to get the stupid laptop display to work by itself. It HAD to have an external monitor connected. I finally found the answer.... and it was one I had already tried but hadn't worked! I installed iDeneb using the NVinject video option. I then installed the Mac XCode Devkit so that I could use the official Apple Property List Editor....I changed the NVCAP to the following: <04000000 00000d00 00000000 00000007 00000000 > (internal OK - external not detected) - I found this at http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=1725 reset the permissions, flush the caches, rebooted.... and it worked! Now I had my Mac Desktop displaying on my laptop screen and my external monitor was unplugged (finally!). What had gone horribly wrong? PListEdit Pro I had used this to edit the Info.plist and for some reason it screwed something up. From now on, I'll ONLY use the Apple one!

masterorg Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have the same computer but i can't have the display at the right resolution (1920x1200). Can you be more specific with the installation option you have selected? Thank's a million! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's a million! Sorry for the long delay in giving a reply. The video option that works the best (for me, I tried them all) is: NVinject 0.2.1 256MB I can do the full resolution and quartz works fine.
