Slaw3 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have 1 VGA port on my motherboard (integrated Nvidia 6150SE) + 1 VGA and 1 DVI on GPU (8400GS). My monitor have only VGA output, so only option is put monitor in integrated Nvidia 6150SE, but then i cannot choose any resolution except 800x600...thats really frustrating :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Use a DVI to VGA converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaaaannnkkksss ! See this nice clear simple guide by oldnapalm for getting an NVIDIA graphics card up and running under OSx86....... You can now run Dr. Hurt's Chameleon 2.0 RC4 Installer and in com.apple.Boot.plist, include these lines: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> If that alone does not work, then try: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>yes</string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>1</string> If one or the other of the above works, post all that you then see under Graphics/Display in System Profiler........ Only if the above does not work, will we try EFI graphics string, or NVEnabler approaches........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
