here we go

Still doesn't work, clean install of snow leopard (10.6) on Gigabyte EX58-UD5 board (using the installer script over on insanely mac) with Gigabyte factory overclocked GTX 260 (dvi-vga-hdmi). Followed the guide completely (Not scared of terminal, I live and breath nix), even tried editing the NVresman plist by adding the dev id's. No res, no qe/ci/opencl - i.e no translucent menu bar, jerky screensaver.

I'm at my wits end now, I've tried the GT2XX driver from nvidia and the plists. The trouble is, people who have it working aren't letting us know what their setup is so we can try and work out why other setups don't work correctly. It's all well and good saying, THIS IS WORKING!! WOO HOO! We need to know why.

I'm not giving up with this card. It's got so much potential in SL.

unfortunately it still doesnt work with the string.

however.... i figured out how to make my gtx 260 work. i basically used the string for the gtx 280 and i get full range of res including 1920x1200 and full CI/QE. does anyone know if this going to damage my card? it works perfectly the only diff is the memory. the string said the 280 has 1024 and my 260 only has 800something.

How did you even install with this card? i get the black screen as soon as the installer starts

So I've spent days trying to get this to work and it isn't. I have an Asus P5B-Deluxe motherboard and a EVGA 896-P3-1264-AR GeForce GTX 260 SSC Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card .

I installed OS X by formatting my external HD with 2 partitions. I copied my Snow Leopard installer to one partition and installed Snow Leopard to the other. I removed all the NV kexts from /System/Library/Extensions on the installer and used to EmpireEFI to boot the installer. Once it was installed, I booted into Single User Mode and followed http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/guide...leopard-t4057/ of moving the NV kexts. I booted into Snow Leopard ok and ran MyHack from the EmpireEFI disc http://osx86.sojugarden.com/installer/ installing com.apple.Boot.plist, GraphicEnabler, FakeSMC, FramebufferDisabler, JMicronATA, LegacyAppleRTC, NullCPUPowerManagerment, OpeHaltRestart, PlatformUUID, and SleepEnabler. I then ran System Update and updated to 10.6.2 and completed the rest of the guide on getting my GTX 260 working. When I booted I got a kernal panic on SleepEnabler, and realized I needed a newer one for 10.6.2, which I did. Next boot I got a black screen.

So I remove the NV kext's Snow Leopard boots perfectly and everything works great, but if I put them back I get a black screen still. Anyone have any idea why it isn't working? I added the stuff to both my com.apple.Boot.plist in /Library/Prefereces/SytemConfiguration and /Extras.

Thanks!

Hi! All links to the EFI string seem to be broken. Plz someone post a good one or a workaround.

Is anybody watching this thread? Several people are having trouble (including me) getting this guide to work. I've tried it several times with my GTX 260 and Snow Leopard and continue to get the black screen. I'm not sure what else to do.

Hip-hipp hooray!!!!
Works like a charm for my GTX 260. Thank you so much - I was already desperate so many things I already tried. But it was woth the patience; I have now a fully working Hack (I call it "MacBobo") on a P5Q DeLuxe with untouched legacy BIOS, Q 9300 @ 2,5Ghz (stockspeed), 8GB DDR 2 GEIL @ 1066 Mhz, ASUS GTX 260.
Initial setup done on a 2nd rig with P5Q Pro mobo and modded BIOS from JUZZI, E 8400, 4GB DDR 2 800 and ASUS EN 8800 GTX EE; then transplanted the HDD into my main rig and everything booted right on exept the gfx card,which is done now also.

Cheers

Info added: Actually I run Slowleopard in 32-bit mode. Once i have all the 65-bit extensions together I will boot into 64bit mode. I hope the gfx card will still work then...

Hello,

I just wanted to ask if anybody managed to get dual screen support running this way. I am using the Hazard SL release and everything worked fine with 10.6.3. I have QE enabled ootb and I can also use 2 Screens but only in extended view. As soon as I try to go into the clone modus then I can only see on 1 screen the actual image. The other one is blue, showing me the mouse and the movement but it doesnt respond to any mouse click and so on.

Did anyone tried it yet? Btw. I am using a Dual DVI 260 GTX.

Kind regards,

Valmar
