First off, I'm a long time follower, first time poster. This site/forum has done some amazing work within the hackintosh realm! So, I successfully installed a stable hackintosh system. I have the GA-Z77-DS3H, Core i5-3570k, 8gb Corsair Vengeance, 64gb OCZ Agility 3. I'm running off the integrated graphics. I picked out all of my parts (besides the inherited SSD) based on the buyer's guide.
That said, I'm baffled by an screen issue. I have an cheap-o Spectre monitor that doesn't work well with mac (specifically the fonts look bad). I found a script on the net that was supposed to force Mac to smooth out of the fonts: "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2" After running the script and rebooting, I found my screen to be completely messed up (see the linked pic). The majority of the screen is black with distorted bars at the top. If I move the mouse, I can see something happening, but nothing in particular. Since I ran a script I found on the net, I figured it was my bad and reformatted.
But, when I installed the Logitech Command Center (to set the F keys on my K750), the same thing happened. If I boot into Safe Mode (-x), the screen is perfectly fine. Also, if I put the computer to sleep upon boot up, it will wake much less distorted - close enough to allow me to reset the display settings and get my normal screen!
Do you all have any ideas what's going on? Is there something I'm missing?
Here's a link to what the screen looks like:
