Well I did everything (crossed my fingers too) but nope....It doesn't want to work so I bought me an ATI radeon HD2600 pro pcie this morning and guess what, it doesn't work either. Anyone know of a way to get this to work???

Buy a NVidia ? ... Ok it's a bad joke ...

I DID!!!! I bought a Point of view 8600GT 512 MB and it didn't work either with 10.5.2 drivers. THEN I asked for a refund and bought the 2600 pro...

The 8600 GT didn't work with Nvinstaller .33

Good joke too...

have you patched the graphics update with marvin´s utility?

You need do it, and add the correct id for your card only your id and delete the others. Yesterday i did a fresh install from rev2 in my k8n-sli with, 7600gt and it worked only after it was patched with marvin

roisoft :

I need to do that with the 8600GT? I no longer have it but I can replace the HD2600 with a Gigabyte 8600GT if you are positive that I can get it to work...and where am I gonna find the graphics update? And also is marvin's utility easy to use? I haven't gotten into it yet

yes, you need add the correct id for your graphics into the info.plist for Geforce.kext, NvdaResman.kext, NVDANV50Hal.kext (8600gt):

when you edit the info.plist you´ll see something like this:

Code:

<string>IOService</string>
			<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
			<string>0x00f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x019010de&amp;0xfff00x060010de&amp;0xffe0ffff</string>
			<key>IOProbeScore</key>
			<integer>60000</integer>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

you need add your device id and delete the others:

Code:

<string>IOService</string>
			<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
			<string>0x040210de</string>
			<key>IOProbeScore</key>
			<integer>60000</integer>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

download this for the patches

copy the folder "patches" to the root of your leo drive boot with -s
and type

mount -uw /
cd /patches
./patcher cpuid-graphics.txt

I'm gonna try a new natit.kext by netkas as someone on this forum said might work with the HD 2600 tonight, if that doesn't work I'll try this method and post results tommorrow...

thanx for all the help roisoft

roisoft: I returned my HD 2600 pro and bought a gigabyte 8600gt...IT WORKS OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!
FULL QE/CI FULL RES CHANGE!!!!
only one more tiny little thing. My LCD TV's native res is 1360x768 but it doesn't appear in the display manager. I got as far as 1280x768. Not that I'm complaining ( I love my new Mac) but is there a way to get to that res? Can I use "Graphics Mode"="1360x768x32" at boot prompt or is it gonna cause problems???
