There are people who have this working too, by additionally adding their Device ID to ATI4800Controller.kext - I think to remind mastermind netkas also wrote a dummy / legacy kext for that purpose...

I have an 8600GTS 256MB out of the box this card is a no go. If you can toss QE on it I would say yes, so honestly I wouldnt really stick with nvidia unless theres a 100% working card without much headache, But apple does use nvidias. I Would check the specs of a apple Mac Pro maybe the nvidia 9800 series is best in my opinion spec wise.

i have a Nvidia GTX260 works great just need to install drivers, for it! and a 6200 for backup! depends what you want your card to do, if you want something that installs out of the box then a 8600GT, if you want a bit of power then something higher.. i think the nvidias are the best options for OSX86.. more support then ATI but i may wrong about this....
im a PC running Snow Leopard

Hi,

I have SL 10.6.2 runing in 64 bits
I did only one thing for my video card (Geforce 8600GT 512Mo)
I added this in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist

  • <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
  • <string>yes</string>
But no chance, I didn't get the QE/CI

I you have any ideas...

Thx

What does the following command return, when you type it on the Terminal?
Code:
sudo ioreg -l | grep -15 AppleACPIPCI | grep UID
What is your Bootloader?

Hi,

I reinstalled all the SL and Chameleon V2 RC2.
I added this in /Volume/EFI/Extra/com.apple.boot.plist

  • <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
  • <string>yes</string>
I got QE/CI with my small Screen "15 VGA plugged on the DVI port with an adaptator (1024x768)

I was pretty happy, so after I shutdown the system, and removed this screen with the DVI adaptator to plug directly my LCD TV on the DVI port.

The system boots but just before displays the logon screen, the screen gets black and says no video.

I really don't know what's going on...

So I pluged my VGA screen on the VGA port and my LCD on the DVI port.
I turned on the system and both screens get black.

If you have any ideas...

Thanks
