hiqu Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi guys I'm bit desperate. I've HP8530W/NVIDIA FX770M. I use it with HP Advanced Docking station and I've a external monitor connected to DVI port in the docking station. The docking station has VGA out as well. I'm not able to use the external monitor when I boot into Leopard. It works great when I boot into Windoze 7. I use GraphicsEnabler option in Chamelon to get QE/CI. I tried various injectors too with various NVCAP values. No luck.

I tried various injectors too with various NVCAP values. No luck. If I remove any injectors including GraphicsEnabler option in com.apple.Boot.plist, then I get DVI out but the resolution is limited and of course no QE/CI. When the injectors/GraphicsEnabler enabled, if I boot the laptop with Lid closed, up to certain point I can see the output on the external monitor. I think once the graphics drivers are loaded I lose DVI output and the output goes to LCD. So I think this could be resolved with proper NVCAP.

Particularly, where I can find more info LVDS entries and what does channel 1: 21 and channel 2:de means? How to interpret those values?

I'm not getting DVI output and on VGA the resolution is limited to 2048x1152. However, the nouveou driver seem to find more outputs/connector during boot 2.584546] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a LVDS output [ 2.584556] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a TMDS output [ 2.584558] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a TMDS output [ 2.584560] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a DAC output [ 2.584563] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a LVDS connector [ 2.697882] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a DVI-D connector [ 2.697944] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a DVI-D connector [ 2.698024] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a VGA connector whereas NVEnabler found only 2 (LVDS) Unlike NVEnabler, nouveau is open source so hopefully I can get some more output from their debug to post at nouveau forums.

Krazubu Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I think I can fix it, please post all the required stuff in official NVEnabler thread with description of the problem and I'll give you a patched plist containing a modded ROM.
