I am having many a problem with my nVidia GeForce 5200 FX.
Anything I try has currently not worked.
CoreVidia injector works (and it's the only injector that does work), but once I boot into OS X, I am in the wrong res. (1360 x 768, should be 1440x900.) and I cannot get past logging in. After logging in the screen fades into blue w/ only a mouse pointer. The only thing that happens in the mouse moving over a blue screen.
I have not currently found a solution
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
~ Cleo

@milancaGive it to me. I need one to mod and put into my PowerMac G4, PPC Kidding bro, don't mind me. Well, i don't know exactly what would be the best to try with that card. Maybe to try with updating AGPgart, there are sort of newer ones.
AGPGart doesn't work with my nVidia GeForce 5200 FX says Slice, (Dev. of AGPGart).
@milancaI see, so maybe it's better to go with the second card you have, ati agp, than to mess with fx5200. They are pretty cheap here, like 10eur for FX5200. In my G4 i have now ATI 9250 modded to Mac edition ATI9200 and it works just fine. I have Quartz (in 10.4.11) but natively no core image for ati9200 in Tiger so i was planning to hook…
I Think I have a ATI Sapphire around here...
only 64 MB vram, but I guess it's worth a shot.
EDIT
Inserted ATI Sapphire card into PC.
Now having 1024x786 res.
I have not got a clue what the ATI card is, but System profiler is showing...

nVidia Geforce 5200 FX not working
I had one of those cards worked ok in Tiger now I have ATI sapphire radeon pro AGP 2400 and it works ok on my sys iDeneb 10.5.6 with voodoo kernel 9.6
AMD 3200+
MS1 6741 MB
Radeon Sapphire HD2400 pro AGP
Heres the link for that card above much better I think than going through all those endless experiments its not all that expensive $50 thereabouts going soon as the AGP cards are passing into history

i used a 5200 for quite some time and was successful using nvkush
