HDMI Out Issues HD Radeon 6850

[pablobtown]

Hi forums, I have just completely been satisfied with my Hackintosh...That is until I tried to watch Netflix on my flat screen with it. I plug in the HDMI to my GPU and OS X recognizes it and everything, says the name of my TV automatically changes it to 720p, but the screen stays blank. Pretty sure there isn't anything wrong with my TV, I use the same HDMI with my Xbox, and it works fine. Any help please?

Like the size? I have it on 720p, and not even 800 x 600 works?? It works fine in my Windows partition at high res.

yeah... sometimes a different framebuffer can provide different functionality, you would want to try doing it by typing AtiConfig=NameOfFrameBuffer on boot instead of adding it to your boot.plist in case something goes wrong.

You'll have to search around for a list of ATI framebuffers, there might be more than one your card can use. just note that some might provide worse performance too so it might be good to run Unigine Heaven after each change.

Once you've found a better framebuffer simply add it to your boot.plist like this:

<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>NameOfFrameBuffer</string>
