Field Note #1 @pippox0 2011-04-11

i update my Sony Vaio Fz21M to Mac Os X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 using the combo update.

Now i have external display with full resolution and QE/CI enable, but not internal display.

I think the problem is NVDA50HAL.kext, because if i delete it from /System/Library/Extentions , i get internal display working, but no QE/CI.

I'm looking for a way to patching NVDA50HAL.kext to get both displays to work .

I'm using PC-EFI with GraphicsEnabler=yer option ...

Can anyone can helps me ?:)

Field Note #2 @Rubituco 2011-05-03

Try NVenabler.kext if you're using 32bit kernel or
NVenabler64.kext If you're using 64bit kernel. Don't forget to disable the graphic enabler. Set No or delete this opition. If this not work try to use GFXstring from OSX86 tools or EFIstudio. On my notebook I use GFx string and I have the same card running 10.6.7
