(I hope this is the right section to post this, correct me if it's wrong)
So I'm trying to make my dual monitor setup work, but with no success.
I've tried everything on this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-workaround-using-intel-hd530-with-dual-monitors.214125/
The thing is, my display port won't work even if I only plug 1 monitor in. I tried this with multiple displays. ( The screen does get signal, but the screen stays black)
Hot plugging obviously doesn't work either on the DP port. HDMI is just fine and steady, I can hotswap etc.
But when I use an older cable (DP to DVI) I do get signal on both monitors, but after the loading screen the DP port shuts down both monitors. (I'm going to double check if I can run the DVI cable on a single monitor)
The HDMI monitor stays active and I can see a small bar on the top of the screen where I can also move my mouse (I'll upload some pictures) This also means that I can still type my password and get to the desktop (still with only a small bar on the top visible)
Sometimes the screen goes weird with glitchy graphics after I tried rebooting a couple of times. This is always fixed with disconnecting the power supply. Uploaded a picture of this.
I have the feeling that I first need to fix this problem before I can begin the journey to dual displays. Maybe this is the root of my dual monitors not working, idk...
I'll post my Config.plist file as an attachment along with some pictures.
My knowledge in hackintoshes and computers in general is not that big, so go easy on me ^^
Thanks in advance for the help
