cchance Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 thanks for answering so quick.... was a long day didn't even think of that, will do the install 1 more time, and do a verbose mode boot and see where its cutting out... whats the best way to capture it, won't verbose scroll text and then go black still.... how do i get a shot of the error thats causing the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchance Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 OK took it home and guess what, it starts up perfectly!!!!! Back at work doesn't start... I know what the problem is just don't know how to solve it.... When i hook up dual monitors, neither monitor displays after the inital bootup.... I tried it with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and with GraphicsEnabler=No + NvEnabler64.Kext installed.... Both result in the same thing, i start with 1 screen everything works, i plug second monitor in and click detect displays, poof black screens... unplug both screens and plug only 1 in and it comes back up.... GraphicsEnabler=Yes detects my card as a Geforce 9400GT, NVEnabler64 with GraphicsEnabler=No, comes up as Unknown Nvidia 512mb card. PLEASE HELP, i really gotta get this working with dual monitors, everything else is working flawless but to be usefull and a replacement for windows i gotta get both screens working... anyone got any ideas?
