Hey all,

I recently updated to 10.8.4. After the reboot, I ran MultiBeast, and then rebooted again. After that I started testing things to make sure it worked.

Specs:

Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
GTX 650

My monitor setup is as follows:
HD4000: 1x HDMI
GTX650: 1x DVI 1xVGA

I had two issues I am unable to resolve, 1 being that eSATA drives arent being recognized. I dont remember ever having this problem in the past.

Secondly my VGA monitor is acting strangely. It is only utilizing about 80% of the screen. The resolution is set to 1080p, and there seems to be no distortion, but the screen isnt being fully used. Here is a picture: http://i.imgur.com/CJC6r6g.jpg

It is worth mentioning that on every reboot I have to unplug and plug in my HDMI monitor on the HD4000, but that issue has persisted since 10.8.2


Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!


My boot config is as follows:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsMode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
 
DOH!!!

It looks like when I replugged my HDMI monitor, I knocked the eSATA cable out. eSATA wont work if it isnt plugged in! :/

Graphics glitch is still present though :(

Thanks
 
I never got it quite working, however rearranging my monitors so that there are no VGA monitors in the loop fixed it.
