Do not run two monitors simultaneously

We have:
1. MAC OS X iAtkos 10.5.7 updated to the latest version.
2. GygaByte GA-EP43-DS3L
3. nVidia GeForce 8500 GT 256 Mb
4. Nec AccuSync LCD 223WM (LCD 23 ")
5. LaCie Electron 22 Blue IV (CRT 22 ")
Problem:
When connected to two monitors, one of them displays a welcome screen, and then both turned off.
 
Simple solution: install Windows on it. I'm running Windows XP right with 2 monitors and it works like a charm. From the sound of it, Windows 7 will work even better once it's released, you might want to look into that too.

Oh, and don't expect any help here for a hackintosh. You'll get more help at the OSX86 forums.
 
Macs, actual Macs, anyway, have been offering multi-monitor support forever, so I would bet your Hackintosh (probably the 8500, which has never been offered in a Mac) is to blame. I remember getting into some trouble in high school when a friend and I ripped apart a half-dozen computers after school and set up a Mac IIfx running six 13" monitors in the old Mac lab.
 
I'LL BE SURE I WON'T!!! :eek:

Thanks for the tip! :rolleyes:

Potential merge into the hackintosh thread maybe?

Your original post says you are not running OSX on Apple hardware, based on the specs you gave us.

So, people here can't answer questions on how to fix a problem not on Apple hardware.

So a good idea is to just install Windows on it or buy a proper Apple.

Pity. I hope that there will be those people who can help me.

The Windows operating system has long been established on this computer.
