I would suggest not fighting the battle but winning the war.

Display: I had a similar problem with display when I used aVGA monitor as the only monitor. I could not set the resolution. When I used a DVI monitor by itself or with another vga it worked but I had to use the display setting in the system preferences to set the VGA resolution. No idea what was going on there.

Also, use the OSX86Tools to set the graphics card feature. Maybe that will help you. It did not help me though.

Thank You..... inifiniteThanks...
I try that method...

I've been using -v to try trace my random wake issues.

I've tracked a possible cause - the GFX card not waking up properly. To that end, i've removed the EFI string for my GFX card and got it working via a DSDT patch instead, which means I can send a wake notification to it on an acpi wake, which should fix it if it is indeed the error. It'll be a few days before I've used it enough to see if it's a fix or not though.

I am trying this new method, but can not get the installer to fully load. i get no kp, but all i get is a blank screen. i am wondering if this is to do with my video card? i am following your directions exactly, but nothing. i have a nvidia 9400gt video card, this should be supported by the graphicsenabler, correct? any help is appreciated...

Anybody tried adding an additional Ethernet NIC card? I added a Realtek 8139D which should run natively in OSX but for some reason, it does not show up in Snow.

Could this be caused by the DSDT patch that included the ethernet fix? My built-in ethernet works. Just wondering why the PCI NIC is not being detected.

Anyone has a clue?

I had a similar problem: I built another hackintosh in about 20 minutes today and I had already done a linux dd of my drive to a new drive. So booting was easy but system profiler did not show the network card. So I went to system preferences->network and it started by prompting me with a message about a new card being detected and that I should enable it.

Try it ... it might work.

Try this http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/rtl81...n-64bit-t3917/ ... it works great w/ me ...

Amazing! Works for me too. Secondary NIC is now detected working fine

I just have to find a solution for my 4650 Black screen problem and I'm set!

Thanks BlaSTiwi

Nah, it didn't work That was the first thing that I did after adding the NIC. dsmeg doesn't even supply a mac address for the newly added pci nic. Even system profiler doesn't detect it. I'm quite puzzled. However, I haven't tried adding the realtek1000 kext. Maybe I'll try as soon as I got home.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am having issues getting this guide to work for me. i have the usb disk setup correctly. i have my com.apple.Boot.plist setup per the guide, minus the GraphicsMode as I am unsure what it needs to be set too. My video card is a ASUS EN9400GT with 1 VGA, 1 HDMI, and 1 DVI. I attempted to follow this guide using a DVI2HDMI adapter and when the setup would launch I'd have a blank blue screen. I attempted this passing "-v" and "-v -pci1" as chameleon boot options. I then tried using the HDMI output on the card. Now I am, getting the install background picture and nothing else. I get the spinner but it freezes and just sits there. Again, I've tried with "-v" and "-v -pci1" with same results. What else can I try to get this working?
