i managed to install a snow leopard 10.6.2 from the original update-dvd u get in the stores... i was using the empire-efi disk to install hackintosh… afterwards i installed "myhack" 1.0 rc 4.1 from the empire-efi cd (chameleon 2.0 RC3, PC EFI 10.5, FakeSMC v2, lspci, pfix v2.1.1)...set sata from ide to ahci and enabled cpu c-state in bios. after doing this i am able to boot into hackintosh without the empire-cd

now i tried to get the graphics working... im not lucky with this till now and hope that u can help me...

can someone explain me in simple steps howto get the 9600 gt (1gb) from sparkle working on 10.6.2?

hardware is:

mainboard: asus p5ql pro
cpu: intel q9550
graphic card: nvidia geforce 9600 gt

(bought this hardware because it was shown as working out of the box…what a mistake to trust this... nothing has worked out of the box…)

btw: sound is also not working but not a big problem… but graphics need to work because this hackintosh will be used for photo-editing

thx for ur help

ps: sorry for my bad english

okay… get graphics to work using natit.kext , nvenabler64.kext and nvinject.kext ... downloaded from kexts.com intalled via kext helper 0.7

still working on sound…

Author Update #2 @dreadkopp 2010-03-09

also get sound to work with the alc888 hd audio kext from kexts.com…

have tried for hours and wont get it work, because i was trying kexts for alc1200 (asus says that that chip is build in the asus p5ql pro -> WRONG! screw u, asus!)

with that kext all 6 in-/and outputs are working
