Field Note #1 @xXrkidXx 2009-09-26

open EFIStudio, create an EFIString for your graphics card. then you should have full QE/CI.

Field Note #2 @xXrkidXx 2009-09-26

oh... well thats not good.. i guess google around for NVIDIA gtx 260 896MB.kext or NVIDIA gtx 260 896MB OSX or something like that...

Field Note #4 @xXrkidXx 2009-09-26

Field Note #6 @emartinez13 2009-10-09

same problem with gtx 260

I'm trying to get my gtx 260 working as well, the only thing that seems to work is the default 32mb driver. I forced it into 1680x1050 but scrolling is horrible!

I'm using iPC X-DL 10.5.6, everything is working fine except my video!

What do I need to do to update to 10.5.7 to get it working like you did?

I have:
AMD 64 x2 Athlon 3.2 Ghz Dual Core
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-M61P-S3 with MCP61 Chipset
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card

Thanks, I hope someone can help!

p.s. I've tried the latest Netkas Injector with kext from the IRC channel, it's supposed to support GTX200 series cards and its a no go, it won't boot back into OSX.
