If you have had problems after changing your monitor resolution this little thread from the apple discussion board might come in handy link. I have a GeForce 8400GS and after playing around with higher resolutions I was no longer able to see what was on my monitor. That is until I followed these “Blind” instructions on how to get to the dialog box to change the resolution to something more suitable. Scroll over to the last post by BSteely and follow everything to the letter. Trust me it works if you can see whats on your screen.
Update:
Actually when using dvi and not VGA this blue monitor thing does not happen and it changes smoothly. Update 2:
Using NVDarwin seems to work better than NVInject for some reason. But only when there is absolutely no other injects. That means on a fresh install.
If you missed out on the last p0wnz deal it looks like this deal from Dell is now bye bye see ya later gone. Sorry if you didn’t take advantage of this because I got a 99.8% fully functional Mac Pro Hackintosh. You can check out the specs below My preferred method for installing this was with the use of iPC 10.5.6 beta. When first attempting to install this I had tried various install combinations but could not get it to boot. All I would get is an apple logo for approx two and a half minutes and then a circle with a line threw it or a don’t symbol (similar to a no smoking symbol). There was no work around for that. I had to use a different install disk to get it up and running. I chose to use Kalyway 10.5.1 which worked flawlessly with Vanilla kernel applied. However I was not satisfied with 10.5.1 because I wanted to take advantage of all the new features. I then by chance happen to see that iPC had two new update patches PPF4 and PPF5. So I reapplied this to the iso files and re burned it. Upon installing I used the following settings. Audio ACL888 drivers, No video drivers selected, ICH9/10 HDD patch, DSDT SMBIOS patch selected and that is all. Everything else can be done after installation.
Dell Optiplex 330 These machines make great hackintosh computers. This is a good grab if your in the need for a new computer. Ordinarily this would cost you $760 so it looks like you can make out here with a good deal.
