Gigabyte Radeon 6850. What'll happen is, you have to choose a specific framebuffer configuration to even boot. 2 of these work with my card, only one of which allows hardware acceleration to work right and allows both DVI ports to work.

The one that allows hardware accel on a single screen is actually the right one for the card. The hex editing is to change the display outputs to enable the second head.

I'm using an XFX 6870, two-headed, on my Hackintosh, and didn't have to edit anything. I'm pretty sure hardware acceleration is working, too.

Those are sufficiently different that you likely don't have the problem. The 6870 uses a different framebuffer personality than the 6850, and likely the fact that it's a different manufacturer might ameliorate the problem altogether.

Which hackintosh tools did you use? I used Unibeast/Multibeast.
