DSDT Works

Hello,

I recommend that you try using DSDT for fixes becuase you need less kexts and editing

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...=#entry1547148

you can also make a dsdt edit so that your 7600gs devide id in gfx0 is the same as the 7600gt pcie in the imac. This means you would not need to edit the nv kexts at all.

DSDT works as PCI on AGP, but it looks like i was one of the only people that have done this.

dsdt edit should be done at the place when your 7600gs is located in ioregistry explorer.

The original postion in my example was VGAB within the AGPB device

pcj also has a fix and he uses some extra strings from the PCIE cards. However, i am not sure if they are needed. The example i gave worked fine on leopard

pcj's link is here if you need it

Do further research if necessary and good luck!

You could also try using the bootcamp vga rom from the imac as well and edit the clocks to match your own card in nbitor. howver, it is up to you how far you go with this.

you can get it from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

However, you will need a hexeditor to strip the efi section from the rom and nbitor to edit the clocks etc.

the .efi parts you want are located in the package

Too busy right now to write any more. Reply to message for questions

thanks,

lemonsoda

ps, i have been told that nv4 kext does not work on 64bit mode (arch=x86_64) after 10.6.2

this is shared by 6xxx and 7xxx nvidia cards. However, I never tested this
