Dual Display in Lion with GeForce 210 Card


2 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have an running Hackintosh on Lion 10.7.1. It's running great with one exception. My primary display is great, but, when I connect my secondary monitor (VGA) it kills the primary (DVI) and I never get any output on the secondary. I've searched every forum that I can find without any helpful information.

 

Here is the output from System Report:

 

 

Chipset Model: GeForce 210

Type: GPU

Bus: PCIe

Slot: Slot-1

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 512 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0a65

Revision ID: 0x00a2

ROM Revision: 70.18.60.00.07

Displays:

Display Connector:

Status: No Display Connected

VA2702w:

Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz

Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)

Display Serial Number: SC7113300466

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Rotation: Supported

 

Since I can't get any video with the second display plugged in I have no idea what this would display. Is it even possible to get two monitors running (not mirrored) with this video card or not? Any input/suggestion would be most helpful and appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Hi Brian,

 

Just got my Geforce 210 running two displays in Lion 10.7.2. Here's what I did:

 

1. Remove the EFI strings if any.

2. Install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 4.0.2 and check System Utilities, Chimera and 32-bit Apple Boot Screen.

3. Restart.

 

Here's the screenshot of my org.chameleon.Boot.plist ini /Extra:

And this is the output from System Report:
