Unfortunatly my graphics only run with 800x600 even though i changed it to 1280x1024x32 in the boot.plist. If i try to change the resolution in System Prefrerences the monitor is getting blue and i cant get back .. only hardreset is possible then. Has this something to do with the dsdt.aml which i compiled or is this a case for the OSX86tools? Any tipps would be warmely welcome! regards!

Hello fritzbrause,

I have pretty much the same hardware configuration as you and I also couldn't find any "DTGP" on my dsdtfix file. Would you be kind enough as to share your dsdt.aml file with me? Or even better your modified dsdt.dsl?

Thank you very much... Ive been through the 53 pages of posts twice looking for any hints on how to make it work out.

regards

"press command+shift+q" to log out. Snow Leopard was thinkin that i had dual screen, and when you log out, it picked up that i have just one monitor! Just change the port on your video card!

Hello all

Just installing now (after banging my head against the keyboard last night when it just wouldnt install.... dont create your SL DVD install drive in tiger folks), im just wondering if any system updates can be done by regular ole 'Software Update..'?

cheers

EDIT: nevermind front page init..doh

Spoke to soon about the install, it installs but when I boot from chameleon i get the normal grey screen and spiny thing and then a kernel panic, booted to -v and it said something about CPU 2 having no HPET assigned, ive tried a couple of different kext installs from myhack with the sameish result, the only things different in my setup from the guide is ive a rev 2 board (sorry not sure of the bios version) and im using an old ide pata drive (im waiting for a sata drive to be delivered).
Any ideas? could it just be the ide causing these problems (i have iatkos v7 running fine on this setup)

cheers

Do you have a screen shot of the options you used. I installed on a new machine today and it disabled most of my video card, no QE, only one resolution, showing 32 meg vram vs 512 meg ram, only 32 bit color etc...

This is with the updated E2SL Kit.

EDIT: Okay, I re-installed with the 11-15 installer and the video card works.
With the old ES2L I had incorrect read of CPU, correct read of memory in overview (4 gb 1333 mhz DDR3), but nothing in memory pane, complete video card function (including sleep) and no sleep for machine.
With 3-12-10 ES2L kit I had correct read of CPU, incorrect read of memory (4 gb 5** mhz DDR2) in overview and memory pane, minimal video function (see above), and working sleep on machine but not video.
What would I look for to edit the kit to get the best of both worlds?

By the way, thanks for all the great work you've done on this, sk1nhd33t. And everyone else. This install has worked really well on my MSI X58 boards.

Hi, As you may see, I'm new to the hackintosh scene.

I updated to 10.6.2 after moving sleepenabler.kext from /extra to the desktop.

I can boot but i get no video, just a black screen with a functioning mouse arrow. When I hit the power button, the display shows a normal screen?!?!?!

What do I do now????

FYI, I was 100% working prior to the update ( Video, Sound, Net, Sleep, etc...)

Thanks!!!!!!!!
