Hello guys,

I've just installed Mountain Lion for the first time, and for the first time as well using your method unibeast and multibeast which are great.
My hardware is:
- Motherboard GA-EX58-UD5 F12.
- Graphics card ATI HD5870 1Gb

I am having problems with:
- When I start the computer and in the moment to enter in the OS interface it goes black. If I unplug and plug the cable. It works. Maybe I need any extra configuration or something.
- Audio doesn't work. As far as I know the sound card I have is the ALC889A and is the one that I have installed. I tried to configured it but I am not able to do.
- Ethernet doesn't work. I have isntalled lnx2mac driver... but is not working properly. How can I uninstall it?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Audio works!!
Ethernet I don't care as I just use wireless...
The thing that I care the most is the graphics issue. I need to disconnect and connect the cable every time that I start the computer... Can someone help me? I tried a lot of methods PCIRootUID=0 and 1 and GraphicsEnabler=False. No success.
Please, help.

Thanks.
 
I don't know why, but I found a workaround for the video.
I put a custom theme on it (one that I made long time back) and works perfectly, and it never goes black anymore...
I think that worth it, that tony takes a look on it... because I think that could be the preferences of the theme or something... I will post the theme tomorrow.

It is just a workaround... but should be fixed for all the people having the problem.

Cheers.
 
Just one reflection more,

When I boot with the USB made from the Unibeast, I am able to recognize and use (works great!!) my ethernet card Intel EXPI9301CT without anything extra.
When I do from the HD after installing chimera, I am not able to do that...
As I don't have access of the chameleon configuration in the usb, I am not able to see what is the difference. Can anyone explain to me?

Thanks.
 
This is the theme that prevents the screen going to black.
I don't know the reason, but works. The problen never happened again.

Cheers.

P.S.: Any hint about the ethernet? Why was recognized by the chimera USB, but not when installing chimera in the HD. What are the options by default for the USB creation?
