Nuse Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 So i setup a hackintosh using a 24" monitor with the resolution at 1920x1200 and now i have moved it to my living room to use on my 42" plasma. Whenever i boot the screen goes black after the bootloader. I can boot into safe mode, where i have changed the com.apple.boot.plist to say 1080 instead of 1200, but it still doesnt work. Not sure if that was the right step. Overall i'd like to get it to work on the native resolution for my tv so i can have the hackintosh via hdmi fully working. Anyone else try this/know of a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else try this/know of a solution? There are many threads regarding that issue. It seems it has to be with HDCP not working on OSX thus the black screen. You have to tell which video card you're using and all the rest of you system specs. Also post your config here (bootloader, kext you're using, etc.). In my case, I have a 8800GT and works fine with DVI or with HDMI using an adapter (DVI to HDMI, 'cause my card doesn't have HDMI output) cable, but I'm not using EFI strings or DSDT, just graphicsenabler on my Chameleon and a VideoBIOS injected through the bootloader itself.

Nuse Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am using a BFG 9800GT. I got it working with EFI Studio injection. I hope this is of some help. Yeah...im learning that its a common problem. Which is sad, because i really wanted to use it on my tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
