The same card here. I try to figure out why it does not work.
XFX 6850 ZNFC works OOB. 2 DVI ports work, HDMI also works

Inserting XFX 6850 ZCFC, Nothing works, neither of 2 DVI, nor 2 mini DisplayPorts.

The same company, what makes above 2 cards a huge difference to Apple Lion?
If someone has any suggestions, please give me a post
Really appreciated

Hi i need some help! I am a newbie.Everything works fine in my hack only this cintiq problem! What should I do?

My xfx 6850 is recognized by lion, but i have a cintiq 12wx and when you boot the monitor works, but when the system starts the cintiq goes to sleep mode, and just works as a normal tablet with no video.

I am using my samsung monitor in one dvi and the second one with cintiq.

This is my chamaleon.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

and this is my my smbios.plist

Try booting with

Npci=0x2000

 

[pipsblublu]

I tried! But no change. Anything else to try?

 

[shibirian]

What does GraphicsEnabler=Yes give you?

 

[pipsblublu]

What does GraphicsEnabler=Yes give you?

The Npci=0x2000 i did after boot...is this correct?

Do i have to put GraphicsEnabler=Yes after boot?

Because it's already in the key of plist.

Thanks...

I discovered something.

My problem is that my second dvi port from 6850 xfx doesnt work.
And my display and my cintiq only works in dvi mode.

I have a asus p8z68v-pro mobo, so i have intelk hd3000 onboard, but the dvi port doesnt work too... In windows the do, but with the hackintosh, no way.

How can i make one of those to work?

Thanks

The 6850 will only support one DVI port out of the box.

The only way to get both ports working is to edit the connector table in the kext.
