Ran into something new last night.. I had recently moved my hack to serve at HTPC and had swapped in an nvidia GT240 (using DVI out). All worked fine. Then last night, I rebooted and got stuck with a 1024x768 (I think) screen (on my 1080 TV)... the monitors panel showed no other options. When I rebooted again, I noticed a VERY brief error message in top the left corner of the screen right as the countdown counter expires and the myHack screen comes up. The text is there for all of half a second... I tried booting verbose and did not see it... the bet I could make out is something about "bad display ... block...Error: Nvidia ROM patching failed (0x 0)" (this is off of memory, I left my notes at home).

Some googling found other similar reports.. but I did not find any obvious solution... other than pulling the GT240 and putting in a 9500GT I had as a spare... came right back up to 1920x1080 (or as 10.6. seems to like to call it "1080p".

Can anyone point me towards more info on this? I did this install way way long ago.. perhaps is there a newer myHack and/or graphicsenabler I should be installing over what I have now?

also I noticed whatever does this happens before I pick the boot drive in chameleon? ie. even when I switch to my backup drive, the resolution was wrong.

Just to be clear.. everything was working just fine for weeks. Last night I tried to put the machine to sleep, it seemed to get half-way there and then hang... fans blowing full.. so I rebooted and had the bad resolution.
