Type this in terminal:

Code:

ls -l /usr/bin/su

Reply back with what it says.

-r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48160 Nov 29 2007 /usr/bin/su

Hmm it it were to have said -r-xr-xr-x then we should have been able to type "sudo chmod 4555 /usr/bin/su" but since it doesnt I am not too sure. Type

Code:

which su

and tell me what it says.

Everything looks correct. Try typing (pressing enter after each line):

Code:

sudo -s

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

diskutil repairpermissions /

If it gives you the same error, make sure /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext has been deleted and go to Disk Utility and select Repair Permissions. Then reboot with -v -f

so far so good...its now fixing permissions ... im waiting , no more operation permitted when doing the commands one by one..
The final result is:

Code:

Started verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s1 disk0s1

p.s. i just checked for Extensions.mkext , is there..should i delete it?

Yes delete it right before you reboot. You can use this command provided you have not exited Terminal:

Code:

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

If it gives you problems then try:

Code:

sudo -s

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Remember to use -v -f when you reboot.
-v Verbose Mode
-f Forces OSX to pull drivers from the Extensions folder and not the cache file. I know we just deleted the cache file but its still a good idea.

just restarted, now im in 1024x768 (before this i was in 1680x1050)

p.s. : now i have 256 vram (actually my 7200 gs has only 128), but Logic still says my system has 0 VRAM

I did a little research on your card and found a few others having the same issue. Do you know the model & Manufacturer of your card?

Lets give NVkush a try. There is a link to it in my signature http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/

Follow the previous instructions of removing related graphics drivers and then drop NVkush.kext into your /System/Library/Extensions folder.

Code:

sudo -s

Code:

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

Code:

diskutil repairpermissions /

Code:

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Reboot with v -f

NVinject & NVkush have worked out of the box for most of the projects i have done. Others have had success with EFI strings though Ive never messed with it. Ill point someone to this post if NVkush doesnt work for you.

oh oh oh...my big bad..
now i looked on the card box, its a 7100 GS MSI ... im not using this card since i got my gtx 280 so i didnt know exactly, sorry..

so, its: MSI NX7100 GS 128 RAM
