Hi guys,

after a couple of hours of installing and testing I can confirm that the Nvidia GTX 580 is fully working on my machine.

Awesome! Could you please share any tips on how you did it?

Sapphire ATI Radeon 5570 working VGA/DVI dual monitor setup with QE/CI.

Not tested DisplayPort.

As with under 10.6.8, GE=No lets monitors be recognized, but GeekBench crashes on start, whereas GE=Yes recognizes monitors as generic, but GeekBench works. QE/CI works in either case.

See screen:

My motherboard / CPU are in the mail. Same as yours. What was your process? I also have a 580GTX itching to get some Lion action.

Gigabyte GTX460 here. Uptime is at 24 hours now. I have been gaming, surfing, doing all kinds of things... no freezes

Ok, let me describe how I did it:

You'll need a clean 10.6.8 install like this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=23704

Follow Tony's guide for installing lion: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html

If you got trouble starting the installation (stop because of [ PCI Configuration begin ] stall) add npci=0x2000 at the boot process.

After lion is startet for the first time use Multibeast installing your dsdt, kexts and your personal options.

After reboot follow the guide to activate your graphics adapter: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=260074

That worked perfectly for me.

Interesting. What rollback to 10.6.7 kexts did you try?

I have an XFX 5770 single-slot card, and an Apple Cinema Display 27-inch. Vanilla Lion gives me the black screen via mini DP + ACD-- but I can get video via DVI to a backup Dell monitor.

I swapped in the following 10.6.7 kexts (S/L/E) and now Lion boots fine, and my 5770 drives my ACD via mini DP:

ATI5000Control
ATIFramebuffer
ATISupport

After replacing the Lion kexts of the same name with those, I run multibeast just to get the cache rebuilt and call for repair permissions.

First boot, and all subsequent, are working!

There's another potential method... try to get in touch with the user Nihil on here. He's doing it with just 1 modified kext apparently. I haven't had a chance to give it a go.

For the records (and the people who - just like me - dumbly did install Lion over 10.6.7, therefore overwriting the Extensions for using the Displayport on a ATI 5770): the proper files are not within the iMac update (at least it didn't work for me), but within the SnowLeo graphics update. Now I get the best of two worlds: dramatically increased OpenGL performance while retaining my 3-Display setup. Thanks everybody...

So which version number do these magic kexts have?
