Ok i have been plugging away at this machine and i need some help. First off if i boot normal from hard drive i get a grey screen then a blue screen and that is it. So i reboot with -x -v and the when it boots what do my sleep deprived eyes see, it is the most amazing colorful and sharpest display i have ever seen except when i'm in windows 7 on this machine. I go into system preferences then displays, it is displaying in 1920x1200 with options for other resolutions. Now here are my questions. Can u guys help me figure out what is not letting this machine boot normal? Can u figure out from what is installed and running on this machine how this could be replicated for a fresh install? I really believe i have stumble on to something that u guys will be able to help with and be used to help other people. I have been at this for quite sometime now and this is best things i have come across. Also if you guys tell me to send you files and folders just let me know what u need. I asked this question in a previous post but is there some type of remote desktop for osx?
