what resolution do you use ?
i was hoping to use iPC 10.5.6... if it doesn't install on the osx install, is there a specific driver ?
i've installed with iPC 10.5.6 universal Nvdarwin 512 but it doesn't work..
i've managed to install it with 9800gtx nviject and it works, but not on 1680x1050.. when i set this up the screen turns blue.. and nothing happens..
i have QE and CI enabled but cant get it to 1680x1050.. it runs on 1400 or something
does somebody know how to fix this ?
does anybody here uses a 22" monitor?
i can only use 1440 x 900 resolution..
whenever i set 1680x1050 the screen gets blue, and after restart, it puts it back on 1440x900...
help ?
I've done it !
this was the case:
I installed osx86 using iPC 10.5.6 Universal
didn't chose any kernel, and no video driver, only the rest
so it was running on 1024 res
i tried to use nvidia9000 series, but it didn't work at all.
then i installed NVinstaller v.52.pkg , and checked Vanilla and other drivers, and 512mb ofcourse
and i got QE/IC on reboot
but the resolution was still 1440x900
so i went to change it to 1680x1050 but it didnt work, only got the blue screen
next i did, i changed it to 1600x1200, and got the blue screen but restarted and it was running on that res.
then i did the same when i set it to 1680x1050, and it WORKED !
but, i still dont see any /library/extensions folder... which is weird
hope this helps many others

I have an EVGA 9800gt Akimbo. Nvinject works great, just select your ram size. I am running iDeneb 10.5.5 with a Gigabyte EP45-DS3R
