First of all thanks for all your hard work Zeph, keep it up, eagerly anticipating rev2.

I got rev1 installed, the known issues wiki was a life saver.

Removed apples gforce/NV* kext's and installed "Zephyroth NVidia Universal Installer" mpkg

Now it works, get custom resolutions and QE enabled, but once it goes to sleep I cant wake it up, no video.

Any troubleshooting ideas?

Specs:
AMD 3700+ San Diego
DFI LanParty NForce4 Mobo
7800GT EVGA (belive osx sees it as a 512mb card, but not entierly sure if it is)
1GB RAM

Field Note #1 @naquaada 2008-01-15

I have the same problem if I'm using DVI. If I use VGA, there are no problems. This is on Tiger, Leopard I haven't tested. Does your gfx card has 2x DVI or DVI+VGA like mine?

Field Note #2 @crawle 2008-01-15

Same problem with 10.4.8 on VGA (don't know on DVI, because I haven't got my second monitor get working yet).

Field Note #4 @naquaada 2008-01-15

you are mac-o-mat? try booting with -x to safe mode.

Field Note #5 @crawle 2008-01-15

I did, but no success.
(yes, I am - you already knew this name? ^^)

Field Note #6 @naquaada 2008-01-15

it was in the link

Booting with -x is working for me - normally I'm using 1440x1050 and with -x I have 800x600 at 60Hz on VGA.

Field Note #7 @crawle 2008-01-15

Alright. I'll try again.
BTW: I can start Tiger only "sometimes". I have to try it in some cases up to 3 times, before the Apple logo doesn't only appear for a second, but for a while and is loading. ... not pretty cool !?

Field Note #8 @naquaada 2008-01-15

what image are u using? JaS was always f*ck for me, best was myzar, tubgirl was ok too.

Field Note #9 @crawle 2008-01-15

Ok, you were right. In safe mode I could change the resolution. Thanks!
Mh, I don't want to download any image again ...
But in the Display-Configuration I can only change the resolution for both screens, so when I set it to 1680x1050, my 20" works, and my 19" doesn't. How can I set something like "extend desktop"?

Field Note #10 @naquaada 2008-01-15

Only in a few cases dual-monitor will work correctly.

Field Note #11 @crawle 2008-01-15

Alright. Is there any chance to get it work, or should I let it?

Field Note #12 @crawle 2008-01-15

I'm really sorry Epke. I'll hit the road, when this questions has end.

Field Note #13 @naquaada 2008-01-15

It still has do do with monitor problems, so we could use it in here. Leave it with one monitor yet, don't experiment with it, would only cause problem I think.

P.S.: 100st post!

Field Note #14 @crawle 2008-01-15

Alright. Thanks! I'll shut down my additional monitor and try to ignore it

P.s.: Congratulations! I have to write 12 still ...
