I did method 2 and worked like a charm. Only thing is that BSD.pkg does not get properly installed on the receipts DB.

What this causes is that you cannot run Disk Utility app on Snow Leopard installation drives. This can get worked around by installing BSD.pkg from your SL installation DVD.

Hope it help you guys!

@airwalk776 and all others with problems with Quadro NVS:

Guys, the Natit package works really well OOTB...

If it doesn't you need to troubleshoot in the usual ways:

1. Remove all injectors from /Extra/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions or your Extensions.mkext and GFX EFI strings from all Boot.plist files.
2. Use kexthelper to install Natit.kext

This should work fine with no extra troubles, unless you have mess it up somewhere before.

Hope it helps!

Cheers!

Hi slic,

first thanks for the effort. I own a d630/intel gma x3100 and I also get a black screen with backlight on instead of the actual screen.

I there a way to get the source version of the dsdl.aml file? So I could compare it to my version I compiled myself.

Or even better, what patch was applied to get the x3100 working for you?

Thanks.

Hi,
I have DSDT.aml from my pack and works perffectly ;-)

Use DSDT PATCHER GUI and compile new on your osx86 ;-)
(DSDT PATCHER GUI have auto optimization). Download here http://tr.im/zSBh

btw. don't forget boot with kernel flag (32bit): arch=x86
X3100 Currently no have yet 64bit kexts

Thanks for the quick reply. I know I have to use the 32bit kernel and i know how to use dsdt patcher/iasl compiler but when I use your dsdt or my selfcompiled version I always end up with a quick grey desktop (so the graphics are somehow working, the kernel extensions get loaded) but after that the screen is black with backlight on.

Btw., do you get this messages at startup?

What bios version do you use? Do you use some kind of smbios.plist? Do you do something special to your dsdt? I mean the patcher only takes care of some minor issues and hpet and real time clock (rtc). besides that it does nothing to get your graphics working! I tried to remove the complete agp parts but that didn't work either. After this i'm stuck with a complete black screen...

[slic]

hmm..

yes this messages i have too

i using smbios.plist in /Extra >

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$

My bios version is A04,

Ok, maybe thats the reason a04 is old. i currently use a15. maybe you get a different dsdt with this bios version. Could you upload the uncompiled version of dsdtpatchergui? it is in the session folder of the application. then i could make a diff and see if there is something different. the smbios.plist did nothing for me

Well, downgrade to a04 didn't work either... i think i will give up for now
