just a little background - i am using a 9800gtx+ on the iAktos 4i install.. i have used aqua-macs gfx string tutorial in this forum to get qe/ci going on this card.. i bought a twin for my 25.5 samsung lcd today hoping it would work as "plug and play" but this is not the case, the system locks when booted with both displays plugged in.. i am guessing that i only need to create a new gfx string with the 2nd monitor pluged in as it is made but would like any tips if you guys have them.. thanks in advance.. in the meantime i am going to make a new gfx string in safe boot (both monitors work nicely with full resolutions in -x but obviously without qe/ci)..
full specs - asus maximus extreme (x38 ddr3), q6600, ocz pc3 12800 @ 1066, eVga 9800gtx+, enermax galaxy 1000, 160 wd raptor (iAtkos 10.5.4), 500 wd cavier x4, 1 lg h62n, supreme fx2 audio-only green plug working:(, linksys wmp54gs, all wrapped up in a silverstone tj09..
-EDIT- just made a new gfx string (which was different from first) but this one also failed to power both displays.. what happens is the apple splash screen loads on 1st display then both displays turn blue, then some of each display start to load in pieces (the top will load, then the bottom but nothing appears functional, the mouse will move but cant open anything)..
-2nd EDIT- got board last night and reinstalled the system, which isnt a big deal as everything in my hackintosh works oob with the exception of audio (only takes a minute to get working) and the gfx card (ethernet is not working oob but is easy to get working but i prefer the wireless instead).. after making the gfx string both monitors displayed beautifully.. anyway my only concern is the system profiler displays 256mb vram rather then 512mb, the boot.plist displays the correct vram but which is right the profiler or the plist.. sorry for such a long post..
