My Graphics Card is nVidia GeForce GT130 ( aka 8800 GTX ) Was working great on 10.6.0, Then I updated to 10.6.2 ( I wish i wouldn't ) , Rebooted and I got a blue screen, So I booted into old leopard 10.5.6 and updated my Chameleon to RC4 ( Was Rc3 ) Hoping it will solve the issue and it did but the graphics was low 1024*768, I tried all kexts on the world but none of them made a change, Tried EFI strings but nothing happened too, I googled a lot and it seems that some people got problems because of this rc4 thing so I returned back to rc3 but this time it worked and no blue screen but the same low graphics without qe/ci.
I asked sn0le, a hackint0sh guides maker and he asked about the cable and the moniter and I told him that I have a VGA cable and LG Flatron L192WS Moniter, He replied that vga may not work under 10.6.2 until someone make a 100% Efi string for it .
But it was working on 10.6 without problems ! is this true , do I really need a DVI moniter which I don't have money to buy now ?
