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

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???
