Nvidia 7300GS

well i've chosen the nvinject and nvidia driver for 256mb cards but it didn't work so... i downloaded the new (0.21) nvinject and edited it with:

cd /System/Library/Extensions
nano nvinject.kext/Contents/info.plist
edited the string
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x01DF10de</string>
then installed again
NVidia Universal Installer (not from the dvd)
and then it worked with full QE etc.

but.. is only my problem or others had it?

ah my it's a PNY 7300GS

first check in system profile the device id if it's 0x01DF if it's this
try to put this in /System/Library/Extensions then fix permissions and reboot

That error is because you did not repair permisions on the files. Open terminal

Code:

sudo -s
##enter password
chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/*

Then reboot with -f in the bootloader.

Ok let me set you up, since the installer included on the DVD does not work for your card. Give me a few to get them setup. and ill post back with a link.

This worked fine for my PNY 7300GS. Follow the 4th post from eddie and you should be good to go. It's working really fine here.
