hackin804 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hardware: GA-G31M-ES2L 2.33GHZ C2D 4gb DDR2 320GB SATA HDD 8500GT 512mb (nvinject set to 512mb) Leopard 10.5, SL 10.6 optional Okay, I have been trying to get my hackintosh to work, so far I have had some success using the guides on this forum. My best success was to get it to boot into retail leopard after doing an install with a boot132. I got the audio working as well thanks to a ktext I found on this forum. My issue is the video though. During my first install I used the onboard intel graphics due to not having the 8500gt at the time. I got it up and running, booting into leopard without a problem. Powered off, installed the 8500gt a week later and tried to change the screen res after a successful boot. No options, so I searched this forum for advice, I found some semi positive reviews of the Nvinject route. I went ahead, installed it to mixed results. So far the dvi does not work (I heard of this issue beforehand, its not a big deal), if I change the resultion, I have to wait for the computer to put the screen to sleep to for the change to take effect (I view a bluescreen the whole time). It also does not like my TV (res is at 1920x 1200, which is an option of the card). When I hook it into the TV, all I get is a blue screen, even if I wait for the screen to be put asleep. The tv works fine on mbp, pcs, etc. Can anyone give me some advice? Also I have read some contradictory posts about doing a straight up upgrade to snow leopard. Some people have said all I have to do is pop the disc in and upgrade, it will run fine afterwards, some have said it will force me to reinstall all my ktexts and stuff.
