I have an Compaq CQ60-218TX Laptop with the following specs:

Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE 512MB Graphics (Vendor ID: 10DE, Device ID: 06E8)
4GB DDR2 RAM

I've installed using IPC 10.5.6 distro and not using any of the kexts except:

My graphics is a bit weird. I can run only in VESA at 1024x768, without and qe/ci or resolution changes.

I have tried:

NVKush
NVInject
NVdarwin
Corevidia
Nvidia 9000 Driver v.2
EFI Strings
Adding my device ID to NVDANV50Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext

My NVCAP is 04000000 00000500 02000000 00000007 00000000

None of these work and when I install them, Leo boots up, past all of the grey apple logo with a black screen, which does not function and does not proceed any further even after half an hour.

I tried connecting an external monitor to the VGA on my laptop but this does not work either, even when restarting with it plugged in.

Any help on Graphics would be MUCH appreciated.

ThanksYou

Field Note #2 @BiafraRepublic 2009-09-19

I have the exact same graphics on my HP G60t. And I have the same problem as well. Even NVenabler doesn't work.

My notebook is an HP G60t
