NVdarwin alternative?
Hi,
I've been trying to use NVdarwin with my Nvidia GeForce 5200 FX (little old, but it works :P) but upon boot w/ -v I just am halted by something like: Code:
NVCARD=NVIDIA GEFORCE 5200 FX So.. my instincts told me to do what I always do, mess around with it. (At that point in time I didn't know NVdarwin was to blame for the unknown halting.) I guessed it was something to do with the graphics, as I have experienced on my HacBook Air. I booted in -s and typed... Code:
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/NVdarwin* Is there an an alternative to NVdarwin? I think NVKush and NVinject are just framebuffers, with means full res. but no QE/CI. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you! ~ Cleo :) |
NVkush and NVinject are both injectors, the same as NVdarwin, so yes they will also work. But if you can, I would advise trying an EFI string instead as it makes your install more 'native'. ie. one less kext

OK thanks for your help Voyn1x. I will try an EFI string.
EDIT, I've never actually used EFI strings. I've never needed to. Do you have any idea what the EFI strings should be? Thx, ~ Cleo :) |
As per my post when I was working on my card:-
http://www.infinitemac.com/f7/msi-nx...e-qe-ci-t2925/ NVDarwin was succeeded by CoreVidia. I've had good results with CoreVidia. I guess you can try this out and see if it helps and then go to an EFI String from there. http://translate.google.com.vc/trans...%3Den%26sa%3DG That's the link to the Injector. |
