kylerebbe Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I installed iPC 10.5.6 on my Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop. It has the 8600m GT video card. I have gotten my video to work with hardware rendering and such. I am wondering if anyone has gotten the video out to work without locking up the pc. Every time I plug in my LCD and hit detect displays the laptop screen turns black and I have to restart the computer and unplug the monitor. If anyone has any information regarding this issue it would be greatly appreciated as it is really the only thing I need to fix on my setup. I wont be able to use the OS without this feature unfortunately By the way... I tried to search this issue a few times and it came up with somewhat related topics but not quite sure if it is exactly hitting what I need... and all the other times I tried searching the search failed which is irritating...

Mars M Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 You don't say how you got your video card working, but if you're using NVKush or NVDarwin or one of those enablers, you need to add the NVCAP string for your specific video card to the kext before video out will work (I assume you're talking about getting VGA out). I haven't seen anyone get Mirror mode working - but the other mode works just fine for me on my Acer X233H.
