Zinzan Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I have a running Lion on Hackintosh, with only a few lingering problems that I'm aware of: Sleep wasn't working, but I've been using Please Sleep and that seems to work okay. Dock magnification doesn't seem to work on hover, but otherwise, video effects are working (ripple effect on adding widgets, translucent menu, rotating chess board). Restart and shutdown don't work completely with dual monitors, and this is the biggest issue I'd like to resolve. Restart and shutdown work fine when I just have one monitor plugged in, but not when I plug in both. Dual monitors work fine in general, but when I try to reboot or shutdown, the computer almost completely shuts down, but the fans keep running, etc. I have to hold down the power button to complete the shut down. Would this be fixed with a custom kext, or a DSDT patch? I tried evoreboot.kext and openhaltrestart.kext (just one at a time), but they didn't work. I tried a custom DSDT that Searay_X had provided me a long time ago and tried without the custom DSDT, but it didn't seem to help.

ronsega Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm in the same boat, but only after I upgraded my video card to a GTX580. All worked fine with my GTX285, only had FakeSMC.kext and a IONetworkingFamily.kext in /Extra with DSDT patched to have shutdown/sleep/restart working. Never thought about having just one monitor plugged in to see if it would shutdown but I'll give it a try to see if I have simlar results.

ronsega Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 unbelievable, with just a single monitor sleep/wake shutdown/restart works flawlessly. maybe i'll give up two 24" monitors for a single 30" ? so what gives with the secondary monitor connected? anyone?

Biso007 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have lion working fine with dual monitors (laptop + external) unless you mean 2 external monitors.
