wws12 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi. I am running 10.8.2 on my system. My monitor is 1366x768 with a 60hz refresh rate. I set the resolution to 1360x768 in Display Settings. My problem is this, if I set the refresh rate to 60, my system only boots verbosely about every other time and gets stuck at AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement ready. If I set it to 75, it boots fine verbosely. Neither option lets me boot non-verbosely. Can you help me with this? I reallly need to use 60 hz to eliminate the graphics articles and fuzziness I get with 75. Thank you in advance. P.S: I am connected to the monitor over VGA. Please don't say that VGA is the problem because if it was, I wouldn't be able to see the desktop.

ameris_cyning Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sorry forgot. Its a GA-H61M-DS2, with a core i3-2120 and a Geforce 840Gs gfx card. Did you use some method to get QE/CI or did it work OOB?

GraphicsEnabler=YesShould I turn the mirroring option off in Display Settings?

ameris_cyning Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) GraphicsEnabler=YesShould I turn the mirroring option off in Display Settings? No, mirroring I dont think would be the issue. Do you have PCIRoot set to something in org.chameleon.boot? EDIT: At the Darwin prompt try VBIOS=Yes Edited January 30, 2013 by q64ceo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286011-display-refresh-rate-issue-with-booting/#findComment-1884879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wws12 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 No, mirroring I dont think would be the issue. Do you have PCIRoot set to something in org.chameleon.boot? EDIT: At the Darwin prompt try VBIOS=Yes Vbios didn't do anything. My org.chameleon.boot.list is as follows. EhternetBuiltIn=Yes, GenerateCStates=Yes, GneratePStates=Yes, GraphicsRnabler=Yes, Kernel is mach_kernel, Kernel Flags is darkwake=0, LegacyLogo=Yes, Timeout=2, UserKernelCache=Yes. I am trying to get it to boot without verbose mode right now before I worry about the refresh rate issue. Please note that the message before it boot to desktop in verbose varies from RTC something to AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement ready. Thanks for your help! Edit: I tried using Legacy Logo=No, didn't do anything. GraphicsEnabler=No gives me a black screen but it still seems like its booting because I hear disk activity.

ameris_cyning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 First off, you have misspelt something. Change UserKernelCache to UseKernelCache and try it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286011-display-refresh-rate-issue-with-booting/#findComment-1884889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wws12 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Change UserKernelCache to no and try it I'll try that. D you think PCIRootUID=0 would solve the black screen?

ameris_cyning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'll try that. D you think PCIRootUID=0 would solve the black screen? That I do not know. You could try playing around with it at the Darwin prompt to see if it does work. If not, try "1" instead of "0" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286011-display-refresh-rate-issue-with-booting/#findComment-1884892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, try "1" instead of "0" OK so UseKernelCache=No at the prompt fixes it. I rebooted several times and it works. It even works with 60hz! My question is, how can I avoid putting this in every boot? Also, I have not spinning wheel with the logo, it just boots straight to the desktop. Is this OK? Thanks so much for your help!

Change it in org.chameleon.boot.plist.

Can I regenerate the kernel cache?
