Use the EVGA driver only, remove the injector, (ATY_init.kext) (Repair permissions)

Then get the EFI strings for it. (http://real3x.perso.neuf.fr/GFXstrings.zip)

Follow the tutorial on:

http://translate.google.com/translat...les-gtx-260280

And reboot. (repair permissions after EFI strings just incase)

Also, are you running Chameleon RC1 or RC2? Go to the Extras folder and inject the EFI strings to the Apple.com.boot.plist there instead.

Just a thing, we dont need evga drivers anymore with snowleopard, no injector of course, just the efi string (this work for standart gtx260, 2xDVI + 1xTV)
It work like a charm on x64, just follow the guide on darwinx86.org to put your right device location (PciRoot...)
In my case i used the com.apple.Boot.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

Nope, everything should be working. Have you checked your System Preferences --> Display to ensure its at your resolution?

i used http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/guide...leopard-t4057/

and i am STILL not getting the full res.


i even tried
Quote:
edit the Info.plist in NVDAResman.kext (again, you might have to edit permissions to be able to write it), using some sort of Text Editor.

Look for:

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x05e210de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x05e010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x05f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff</string>

0x05e2 is my Device ID, so to get yours, go to Apple System Profiler, and you should see your Device ID there, just replace mine, save (make sure you have write permissions). Reopen the file if you really want to make sure it saved (I know, Im paranoid). Reboot, and you should have all your supported resolutions inside Displays. Good luck.


system profiler just reports it as 0mb and says i am usuing EFI, when i am actually not lol. its weird.

is there any auto installer or somthing?
and why wont efi strings give full res?

I recommend you upgrade to Chameleon RC3 and try the GraphicsEnabler option. First, you should remove any injector kexts and the EFI string from your com.apple.Boot.plist.

This option will now, for nVidia cards, usually dynamically inject the proper EFI string for the card. To try it, just type "GraphicsEnabled=y" at the Chameleon bootloader.

If it works, you can add it to your boot.plist with:

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

It worked on an 8800 GTX and a GTX280 for me.

I think I'm going to cry

I've tried everything to try and get QE/CI to work!

I've made a thread over at insanelymac too: http://bit.ly/11IZGz

After I install Snow Leopard I get full resolution but no QE/CI

I tried both of the methods below but one ended up with 1024x768 resolution with QE/CI and the other ended back with full res and no QE/CI

Please help!!
