Chimera 1.8.0 Annoyance

[Poopmonkey]

Well, I just updated my 10.7.3 Lion install on my GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 with 2600K to Multibeast 4.3.1. Everything seemed to go smoothly and the system works fine but I have a annoyance with the new Chimera.

It still works and allows me to select what I want to boot which is Windows 7 or Lion but when my computer boots up, it Posts and then gets to Chimera as soon as I press a key to stop the autoomatic countdown for Lion to load, Chimera just turns to black screen. I cannot see anything. At first I thought it would stay like this but if I simply press the down arrow on the keyboard, the screen shows up again with the boot menu/options. I've edited the plist of Chimera to use my native 1920x1080 resolution if that matters and changed the countdown to 10 seconds.

Now, I am wondering if anyone could help me fix that minor black screen annoyance. Although it can be used to confuse others of how to turn on my computer, I would rather have the blackscreen gona haha.

lets see your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. I'm thinking you didn't type in your kernel flag correctly for your monitor. But, it could be another typo, too.

Here, you go Stork! Thanks for the reply. Also, just wondering to remove the legacy logo I can just switch the string to "No" right? I prefer the newer one. Not sure if it matters past comestics.

Hmmm no reply yet. Well just for an update, I updated to 1.9.0 Chimera and it still black screens on me just like 1.8.0.
