pauledwards03 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 hello I have just reinstalled jas 10.4.8 amd, i did not select the nvidia packages when i installed. i then installed the universal geforce driver found on this forum. I reboot and have a black screen, as if it is trying to go out of the refresh rate zone or something. I have tried tubgirl 10.4.10 ad jas 10.4.8 with just about every driver i have found except for macvidia (their site has been down). The display remains blank. If it helps any, when I first installed my graphics driver under linux it did the same thing. I had to add Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck" to the device section of my xorg.conf file. I have added device id (0x029910de) to nvdaresman.kext, geforce.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext also clevo d900k notebook with athlon 64 fx-60 cpu, 2gb ddr, geforce go 7900 gtx 256mb is there any way to get around this or at least be able to change resolution? thanks (by the way i am a <b>total</b> mac noob Z00D: family specific matching fails NVD: family specific matching fails NVDA::probe(NVD) Titan: Built by omni, November4, 2006 Titan: Testing for NVidia card...

pauledwards03 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 perhaps osx86 just doesn't work with some lcds yet. I'll try again in a few releases Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65316-blank-laptop-display/#findComment-464309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanky Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Question... Where can one find this magical xorg.conf file? For some reason it does not appear to reside in /etc/X11.... >tub Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65316-blank-laptop-display/#findComment-468667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
