[SOLVED] Problems with 8800GT w/ VGA monitor on Leo, 10.5.2 kexts

[meisterk]

EDIT 2: SOLVED! SwitchResX did the trick

 

I can now work in full 1600x1200 resolution. I forced the resolution with this neat little app called SwitchResX:

Thanks to... well thanks to me

 

EDIT: Color calibration works with Punk92 installer. Still no go with resolution, monitor still unrecognized

 

 

I cannot set the resolution higher than 1280x1024 on my 8800GT 512 with the 10.5.2 beta kexts, running vanilla Leo 10.5.1 (minus the usual kexts)

 

- Tried NVinject 0.1.3 as well as 0.2.0, changing DVI ports etc... to no avail.

- My monitor is connected to the hackintosh DVI pour with a VGA to DVI adaptor.

- QE and CI are all well and working

- The drivers don't seem to recognized my monitor's maximum resolution which is 1600x1200@85.

- Color calibration is not working as well

 

Is it because I am using the DVI adaptor? My old Radeon X1600 PRO didn't have this kind of problems.

 

Can some of the graphics gods such as Gotoh enlighten me? Is it because the drivers are beta / unfinished? Or something else?

 

TIA

Add your desired resolution to com.appleBoot.plis ( /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration ).

It works fine with my setup. I can go up to 1600 x 1200 and colour calibration works too.

 

 

Used the following installer .

Edit: still the same problem

 

Are you using a VGA to DVI adaptor too or straight DVI?

bump...

 

this is frustrating, iv'e scourged the whole forum and all them intertubes... can't find someone with the same problem

[h.M.M]

I've have almost the same card and tried to use the adapter and had the same problem but then I witched the DVI port and it worked. ^^ So if you haven't try that.

Do you mean you got rid of the adapter?

I just saw in the console that I cannot read any values from NVinject? Could this be the cause?
