So close.. Need to enable GeForce NVIDIA 8400GS on Lion

I can hit/click sleep and it goes down but when I go to wake the system comes on but the monitor no.

I heard that.. I have this system. Mobo is super common on here, maybe I should ask some one individually.

Hi guys, I still cant get my sleeping Lion to wake the NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS? I did not use any Kexts??? I just used the Driver from NVidia. My graphics look awesome and I am able to change resolution. The only thing I cant do is wake from sleep.? Any suggestions?

I was able to get Lion installed on the GA-G41M-ES2L that has a Zotac 8400 GS 256 MB. And it works great with dual displays (HDMI and DVI). It won't work with dual displays if one of them is VGA.

I installed Lion using the well documented Unibeast and Multibeast method from tonymacx86

To get multiple resolutions:

I had to add the proper graphic device ID in "NVDAN50HAL.kext" in the info.plist. This file is in /System/Library/Extensions

To get multiple displays I had to:

Edit org.chameleon.Boot.plist and added

<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>1</string>

I hope this helps others.
