after having a lot of fund with my Hackintosh runing Leopard I thought it would be time to switch over to Snow Leopard.

I thought it would be no big deal, everything ran smooth in the past.

But - I cannot install my 9400GT, I have only one resolution and would like to change that. Furthermore I would like to use my second monitor...

I read so many post on so many boards today - but nothing worked.

Is there anybody who could help me?

Thank you,

Mike
