Can't get my geforce 7600 go to work. I've installed macos from 10.5.2 amd efi dvd (with bundled nvidia update and nvinject go). That resulted in 1024x768 resolution (native is 1280x800) and no QE. Fixing permissions on /S/L/E got me to native resolution but QE still not working. After official graphics update kernel update I get kernel panic (I suppose I have to blame NVDAResman.kext for this one, it looks like cpuid inside, but I was unable to patch it).

I've got QE working on my previous 10.4.9 installation, so I know, that technically it should be possible.

Any ideas?

Why did you use the official graphics update it's included on the dvd, its more likely you weren't getting QE from lack of correct ID in kexts

I've tried to fix IDs in GeForce.kext, NVADResman.kext, NVinject and HAL40 one, that got me to native resolution, but still no QE.

you can try patch the graphics update with this one, extract and copy to the root, boot with -s and type
mount -uw /
cd /patches
./patcher cpuid-graphics.txt

GFX string didn't help. And I've already tried that patches.zip resulting in kernel panic

After some more googling I've found "leo vid kexts" archive. that kexts do work (QE is working), but there are lots of rendering bugs (menus don't render until the last moment when I close them, dashboard rendering still buggy). I've got OpenGL.framework from the Graphics Update 1.0. I have natit, not nvinject. Any hints?

Hi! I'm new here so forgive my rudeness, but I was wondering, is there a fully functional AMD system configuration?

Like use this MOBO, this CPU, this HDD, this RAM, this OPTICAL and everything works out of the box?

Many different system configurations work out of the box, including mine!

( click my name to see hardware specs )


However, if you want to build a new machine, I highly recommend an Intel Core 2 Quad Machine!

You can purchase that Quad CPU for only $ 254 USD. Not a bad price.

@budala, why don't you visit the customize section of this forum. There are plenty of users that have listed their specifications that work out of the box. =)
