Multiple display problem in OSX 10.9.2

I just updated to 10.9.2 on my 15" Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) and after the restart my secondary display will not work. When I plug it in to my mini displayport my secondary display comes up black and my primary display comes back with the background and settings that I had set for my secondary display. It seems as though the OS was confusing my primary display for my secondary. After messing with the settings I was able to get my primary display back to my primary settings, but the secondary display is still showing up black no matter how much I mess with the display settings in the system preferences (changes to resolution, mirroring, ect.). Anyone else experiencing this?

Also, out of curiosity, what was the 5th kext you loaded? I'm only seeing these 4 from your screenshot:


  • AMD7000Controller.kext
  • AMDFrameBuffer.kext
  • AMDRadeonX4000.kext
  • AMDSupport.kext


I tried replacing those 4 with the version (1.16.39) I extracted from apple's OSX 10.9.1 mac pro updater PKG but it simply caused osx to fail to advance to the login screen (instead it showed me some noisy junk framebuffer). Bummer!


Also, amaga's files seem to be version 1.14.21, which I'm hesitant to try since my other attempt failed.

Hi Guys.

MBP 8.1 and displayPort -> VGA doesn't work, DVI does – but unfortunately I don't have display with this input. So I'm trying to do everthing including PRAM & SMC reset, but no results.

The last option is amaga solution. I don't have any backups so i wanna ask you guys, can anyone can share file for intel graphic extensions.

In extension directory i have 4 file which was changed after update to 10.9.2.

- IOGraphicsFamily.kext

- IONDRVSupport.kext

- IOPCIFamily.kext

- System.kext

Thanks.
