Epke · #1 02-21-2008, 05:47 AM

Hi,

Ive installed leopard 10.5.2 everything is working except my videocard! I did manage to get it work in the previous release,
but I dont know how anymore =( I tried few thinks but they didnt work, also the kext on the install dvds doesnt work.

Someone knows a way I can try?

Thanks

List the exact "Customize" options you chose when you first installed. My 8600GTS works perfectly with the 10.5.2 install.

I chose under install the option 10.5.2 nvidia kexts or something like that that I remember! But I tried the drivers at scottangel.com and others they are all not working! =(

Edit:

Damnit I found the solution finally the drivers of Punk92 Worked GREAT!

Take a look at the wiki on the how to guide for EFI GFX. It should be worth doing since you have everything else working already.

Eddie you mean the "How to: Create and Install GFX Strings for EFI" tutorial?

What is it exactly doing? and do I read well I need to remove my nvinject kext?
Is SFX also interesting? Ive got a ALC888 Audio on my motherboard

Eddie, does this method actually negate the need for nvinject?

Yes ... If all goes well. Because all graphic cards aren't supported using this EFI GFX string.

Wow, thats incredible news. I guess this brings us one step closer to using the vanilla GeForce extensions and kexts?
