No QE/CI on my GeForce 6600GT AGP

[Huppat]

Hi , i installed Zephyroth's DVD without any probs but only graphics driver were not really working (only 1024x768 and no qe/ci).
i tried all titan, natit then nvinject again. no one could help me to adjust the driver so that it worked for me :(
no i have installed "zephyroth nvidia universal installer" which based on nvinject and now i can change my resolution but dont have QE/CI .
What did i have to change in the kext or plist to get that running ????
Pls help me i try it since 3 days and soon i`m getting a heartattack :-s

AMD 4200 x2 Brisbane AM2
AsRock AM2NF3-VSTA
NForce3 250 chipset
NVidia 6600GT AGP

1 Maxtor 160GB IDE
1 Samsung 320GB Sata
LG DVD Sata

Huh? An AM2 board with AGP? Crazy combination. I also have an AGP board, my Radeon X1600 is fully working but it's detected as PCI. Could you describe what System Profiler shows in Graphics? A screenshot would be great.

[Huppat]

ok here is a screenshot

Yes, looks the same on my AGP system. But I don't know how to patch nVidia cards :(

You can try to add the device ID into the info.plist for nvdaresman.kext, geforce.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext

Hey Huppat,
I've also got a NVidia GeForce 6600GT, and I want to get Dual Monitor work. My 19" Screen on VGA works with 1280x1024, but my 20" Screen on DVI doesn't work.

So let's wait together for help. ;-)

[naquaada]

crawle: PCI-E or AGP?

[crawle]

Oh, excuse me. Mine is working (or not) over PCI-Express. But the problem is the same. I've got the newest NATIT-Kext (for Dual Monitor support on NVidia), but my 20" DVI Screen only shows the Boot-Screen, after that he's got no signal.

[zephyroth]

Have you tried to put your monitor on the second DVI-out (if you have one) ?

[crawle]

I don't have two of them. I've got a DVI and a VGA output. If I plug in both monitors, it shows the VGA-Monitor. If I only plug in the DVI-Monitor, it shows the DVI-Monitor. "Detect Monitors" doesn't work.

[naquaada]

crawle: have you tried a DVI-2-VGA adaptor?

[Huppat]

@ roisoft: what did i have to change there ??
can you pls explain it ??

[roisoft]

add the device ID , for do it, open a terminal and type this:

sudo -s
(password)

nano /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/Contents/Info.plist


you will see something like this



<string>GeForceGA.plugin</string>
</dict>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>NVKernel</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IOAccelerator</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x014F10de 0x00F310de (put here your device id)
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>100</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
<key>IOSourceVersion</key>


for exit and write press "ctrl+O", then press "enter" and finaly press "ctrl+X"

repeat this step for all the kext nvdaresm... ok?

before reboot type from terminal "diskutil repairpermissions /"

[Huppat]

i used zephyroth's installer and there are sooo many id's :(
i think i dont get it work ... (sorry i'm too stupid) :D
could you change this for me ?? on the screeny above you can see my device id.
it would be great
Edit:
i've installed nvinject 0.1.5 and now i have QE/CI :) but if i start an openGL prog leo reboots :(

[sda]

imo - may be AGPGart.kext 2.2 (joblo) could improve things? (works for me on Tiger).

[Huppat]

which driver is the best for 6600GT AGP?? any suggestions ???
i have installed nvinject 0.1.5 WITH agpgart 2.4.6 is this right ???
i cant run trough all opengl extensions viewer tests .
xbench runs fine.
call of duty 1 runs with poor performance.
other games and benches will be tested. to be continued.............

Hello,

I have an Nvidia Card which is defined in "System Profiler" as an "0x00cd" and I installed on Zeph's 10.5.1 the last Nvidia Universal Installer.

roisoft:You can try to add the device ID into the info.plist for nvdaresman.kext, geforce.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext

I added the id on those 3 pList files, and I've done the repairpermissions command. Do I need to add the string to the others nvdanv[1-5]* files ? I just have nvdaresman, no any other nvdaresm* files. Its' normal ?

After reboot, I just have "1024" in my screen section. Do I need to do something else ?

Thanks,

iero.

[iero]

Ok, I added "10de" in device IDs, but since then, my X freezes 10 seconds after log in....

Erk !

[roisoft]

If your device id is "00cd" (not the revision id ok?), add this line "0x00cd10de" to the info.plist and for the permissions open a terminal and type


sudo -s
(your password)

cd /system/library/extensions

chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *

cd ..

rm extensions.mkext

kextcache -a i386 -e

reboot

boot with -f flag

6600gt I28 AGP 0x00f110de
6600gt 128/256 PCI-e 0x014010de

[iero]

Thanx roisoft, I've done that.

Now, at reboot, the system freezes at "dsmos: Starting..."

The end is not so far away !

Thanx for your help,

iero.

Hi all,

this is my configuration :
ASROCK AM2NF3 VSTA
Athlon 64X2 4200+

My problem is :
I can"t boot the new AMD EFI 10.5.2 Zephyroth on my system ..; because it always freezes on the blank OSX page (which ask you to reboot) and with the -x command it freezes on the blank page (but without asking you to reboot)..

What's the problem with my configuration ?
Do i have to change something on my system ?

thanks a lot and congratulations to zephyroth !

[roisoft]

and why are you posting here? this is for 6600gt AGP, right? :)

[ziska]

[roisoft]

ok, boot with -v and post the error "kernel panic" in question, support...? :)

[ziska]
