8600GT Problems!
Hello everybody,
I don't know a ton about osx86 but I have been coming so close to getting Leopard up and running on my pc. So far I have managed to install and get most everything working with Leo4All 4.1 for AMD (10.5.4). The only problem I have been having is with my graphics card. I have tried nvinstaller, nvinject, efi strings, nvdarwin, nvkush and just about every fix I have heard of. None of these kexts or drivers have allowed me to change my resolution or added QE/CI. I would love to get this working but need some expert advice. Thank you, Colton Specs: BFG 8600GT 512mb (dual dvi-in) AMD Athlon x2 5000+ nForce 430 MCP61 Realtek HD Audio 2GB memory TEW-424UB Wireless |

Thank you, I will give them a try on a fresh install and report back.

I tried the universal installer and then the nvinject 512 and it gave me a black screen on reboot.

Hi Xiloa,
8600GT, as far as i know, doesn't require any other drivers than original apple's. All you need is a proper EFI string in com.apple.boot.plist or add it to dsdt. |

Yeah I've tried to get the EFI string working. System profiler lists my card and 512 memory but the QE is "not supported" and I can't change my res. What's dsdt?
Thanks Edit: I've used EFI strings in both OSX86 tools and EFI Studio for the 8600gt, even tried a custom one and none enabled QE Last edited by Xiloa; 05-25-2009 at 12:05 AM. |

Fixed: Used iPC and installed nvdarwin 512!
