I've been struggling to get my Cinema HD display to show full resolution on my hackintosh and used SwitchResX to change it to a 1920x1200, which should have worked. The settings were apparently not quite right and the screen went so black I rebooted, hoping the old settings would persist. What actually happened is I am faced with a black screen every time the video drivers load and sets the resolution to one that is unsupported. Connecting a different monitor allows me to use the machine but I can't change the settings of the Cinema display without it being connected, and every time the Mac detects it it sets the wrong resolution and it shuts off. If I connect two monitors at once it just shows the backup I am using.
I imagine there's some file somewhere telling the Cinema HD display to use a broken resolution at boot, but I can't figure out where that might be. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling SwitchResX but to no avail.
