i run a iDeneb v1.3. My Nvidia GF 6600GT 128MB (AGP) works with NVKush.
As i have some smaller issues (Videos in Games are not shown) i decided to try EFI-Strings.
I searched a lot, but all i found was strings for PIC-cards which do not work for me.
How can i find out the right string for my card ?

thanks for the attachment, but of corse i already tried it with EFI-Studio and OSX86tools.
Both have a entry for a 6600GT 128MB but it seems they work only for PCI.
My machine boots with the standard graphics while system-profiler says "Bus: PCI" for the Nvidia entry.

Is there no EFi-Support for AGP-Nvidia cards ?
