I've recently discovered, that my GraphicsEnabler=y key in org.chameleon.boot.plist doesnt allow to my display sleep properly (it just freezes instead of blacking out) so I removed this key from my config, and I've got additional fake VGA Display, that I couldn't disable. I know its a common problem with ATI cards, so maybe someone could help me to get rid of this problem step by step.

 

I've got Lion 10.7.2, Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB (reference design, first ones that came to market) with dual DVI + S-Video outs on back of the card.

I have nearly the same problem with Asus 4870 512MB, two DVI outputs. Card works OOTB with Chimera 1.6 and Graphics Enabler = Yes, but when updated from 10.7.0 to 10.7.2 the System won't boot anymore (KP, com.apple.atiradeonx2000) until I set Graphics Enabler = No.

 

But now I have a Fake/Ghost/Extra-Display. It only shows 4:3-Resolutions, therefore I can't mirroring the Displays for a quick & dirty solution.

DVD-Player crashes also. :|

 

Never had so much probs with my Hackintosh until switch to Lion. :)
