I have nvidia geforce 8300 mGPU and i wanna know if there are anyway of getting working. i just can have it with vesa drivers, and i want QE/CI with this card.
My motherboard is an Asus M3N78 Pro board, and i installed Snow Leopard without much trouble, everything is working except the video.

I saw in OSXTools there are EFI string for Geforce 8300 128 MB and 256 MB so, is there any way?

I tried with EFI String and the system load and then i lost the display, my motinor give me 'no signal', and with everything almost like that, with nvkush injector or aty_init from netkas the system keeps rebooting itself, after load everything else.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.4 with legacy kernel 10.3.0, so if someone know what can i do i would thxs a lot.

I think maybe you can trick the system so it looks like the 8400 with has almost the same specs, i don't know sth like that.
So thxs at all anyway.
