i used zephyroth's installer and there are sooo many id's

could you change this for me ? on the screeny above you can see my device id.
it would be great
Edit:
i've installed nvinject 0.1.5 and now i have QE/CI but if i start an openGL prog leo reboots
which driver is the best for 6600GT AGP? any suggestions ?
i have installed nvinject 0.1.5 WITH agpgart 2.4.6 is this right ?

xbench runs fine.

Huh? An AM2 board with AGP? Crazy combination. I also have an AGP board, my Radeon X1600 is fully working but it's detected as PCI. Could you describe what System Profiler shows in Graphics? A screenshot would be great.
Yes, looks the same on my AGP system. But I don't know how to patch nVidia cards
You can try to add the device ID into the info.plist for nvdaresman.kext, geforce.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext
I've also got a NVidia GeForce 6600GT, and I want to get Dual Monitor work. My 19" Screen on VGA works with 1280x1024, but my 20" Screen on DVI doesn't work.
So let's wait together for help.
Oh, excuse me. Mine is working (or not) over PCI-Express. But the problem is the same. I've got the newest NATIT-Kext (for Dual Monitor support on NVidia), but my 20" DVI Screen only shows the Boot-Screen, after that he's got no signal.

Have you tried to put your monitor on the second DVI-out (if you have one) ?
I don't have two of them. I've got a DVI and a VGA output. If I plug in both monitors, it shows the VGA-Monitor. If I only plug in the DVI-Monitor, it shows the DVI-Monitor. "Detect Monitors" doesn't work.
add the device ID , for do it, open a terminal and type this:
sudo -s
(password)
nano /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/Contents/Info.plist
you will see something like this
<string>GeForceGA.plugin</string>
</dict>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>NVKernel</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IOAccelerator</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x014F10de 0x00F310de (put here your device id)
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>100</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
<key>IOSourceVersion</key>
for exit and write press "ctrl+O", then press "enter" and finaly press "ctrl+X"
repeat this step for all the kext nvdaresm... ok?
before reboot type from terminal "diskutil repairpermissions /"
imo - may be AGPGart.kext 2.2 (joblo) could improve things? (works for me on Tiger).
I have an Nvidia Card which is defined in "System Profiler" as an "0x00cd" and I installed on Zeph's 10.5.1 the last Nvidia Universal Installer.
[cite] roisoft:You can try to add the device ID into the info.plist for nvdaresman.kext, geforce.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext
I added the id on those 3 pList files, and I've done the repairpermissions command. Do I need to add the string to the others nvdanv[1-5]* files ? I just have nvdaresman, no any other nvdaresm* files. Its' normal ?
After reboot, I just have "1024" in my screen section. Do I need to do something else ?
Thanks,
iero.
Ok, I added "10de" in device IDs, but since then, my X freezes 10 seconds after log in…
Erk !
If your device id is "00cd" (not the revision id ok?), add this line "0x00cd10de" to the info.plist and for the permissions open a terminal and type
sudo -s
(your password)
cd /system/library/extensions
chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *
cd ..
rm extensions.mkext
kextcache -a i386 -e
reboot
boot with -f flag
6600gt I28 AGP 0x00f110de
6600gt 128/256 PCI-e 0x014010de
Thanx roisoft, I've done that.
Now, at reboot, the system freezes at "dsmos: Starting..."
The end is not so far away !
Thanx for your help,
iero.
this is my configuration :
ASROCK AM2NF3 VSTA
Athlon 64X2 4200+
My problem is :
I can"t boot the new AMD EFI 10.5.2 Zephyroth on my system ..; because it always freezes on the blank OSX page (which ask you to reboot) and with the -x command it freezes on the blank page (but without asking you to reboot)..
What's the problem with my configuration ?
Do i have to change something on my system ?
thanks a lot and congratulations to zephyroth !
and why are you posting here? this is for 6600gt AGP, right?
ok, boot with -v and post the error "kernel panic" in question, support...?
ok i'm sorry for that
here it is in good quality :
In fact, i have sometime the picture1's problem and sometimes the picture2's problem ... but it never boot i'm sure of it !
boot with -v -f and post a pic where the screen stops
