alx0101 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hi all, I have successfully installed 10.8.2 on my 8540w. Video card is recognized as Quadro FX 880M in system report. When I connect an external monitor to VGA port, then go to Displays and use Detect Displays, nothing happens, and no image on the external monitor. Attaching a screenshot from system report PCI cards. If you have any suggestions on what I could try, please help. I don't shy away at the technical stuff being a developer myself (Java), but I'm new to the OSx86 stage. Thanks in advance. Regards, Alex. Forgot to add: HW Acceleration seems to work just fine. (i can see a difference between safe boot (launchpad is horrible), and normal boot - launchpad is smooth as butter).

cjgarof Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Analog VGA doesn't work on ML right out of the box. Although I've seen people get it working with kext tricks or hdmi-vga or dvi-vga adapters.

alx0101 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Do you have any details on what kext tricks mean? I know how to install / remove kexts, but that's it :-) Or I'm even willing to use a DVI-to-VGA adapter if I could get it to work.
