mincingleprechaun Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have a sapphire HD4870 1 gig working with resolution change and QE and CI. The only thing I seem to have as a limitation is that I cannot get DVI-Dual output. Not two DVI outputs but support of 2560x1600. I have a 30" display capable of that res but the best I can do is 1920x1200 or so. In fact I have to use a normal DVI cable or I just get a black screen. I used the instructions in the "Simple guide..." thread. I am running 10.5.6 and not 10.5.7. I have a Asus p6t deluxe v2 and did a vanilla install from a 10.5.6 retail disk. I would love to get DVI-dual working but I can get by on the 1920x1200 resolution. The only inconvenience is that I have to change cables when booting over from win7. I haven't done the 10.5.7 update because I just want to spend a little time getting familiar with this setup before I undertake more mods. I'm trying to learn a bit more about unix first.
