Cannot get CI/QE on my Gainward 7600GS PCI-e
 
Hello everyone,

Im using iPC OSx86 10.5.7 Universal PPF5 Final version on my Intel P4 3.06GHz, but I cannot find a way to solve problem with Core Image and Quad Extreme for my Gainward 7600GS 256Mb 128bit PCI-Express video card. I tried many NVInject kexts, changing card id in info.plst, I tried EFI Studio instalations, some GeForce instaltions with no results.

Here is my configuration:
MSI 945PL Neo-F
Intel P4 3.06GHz 1Mb L2 cache
Gainward nVidia GeForce 7600GS 256Mb 128bit PCI-e
Kingston DDR2 2Gb + TwinMos DDR2 512Mb
Hitachi 320Gb 16Mb cache

If you need some more informations, just ask. Hope someone could help me.

Thanx in advance!

What does the system profiler show for your graphics/displays? It is recognizing the nVidia 7600gt and not supporting CI/GE or is it not even figuring out the card?

Check if that card needs a custom NVCAP, it looks like your monitor is plugged on the card secondary port/channel.
I'm not sure what ports it have but maybe changing the one your monitor is connected to could help.

How to do that and where to do that. I was doing some changes that I found, in NVinject on the NVCAP, but than I got connected monitor and cannot change resolution(1024/768).... and I cannot use that... and monitor than works with frequency of 60Hz which is very painfull for my eyes:-/

Hi,

I am having exactly the same problem with my 2x 7600gs setup. Have also tried everything I can think of. If you solve the problem first will you please post your solution and I will do the same.

Thanks

I made this QE/CI work on my Gainward 7600GS PCI-e 256Mb 128bit...

First, I have reinstalled my iPC x86 10.5.6 PPF5 Universal Final version of mac.
I installed it without any NVinject nor any other graphic kext that can be installed during OS installation.

Than I started EFIStudio choose my card, click Add device, and in new oppened window choose write to com.Apple.boot.plist, reboot, and whooalaaa... Here is what I got:

You can probably make it work with erasing all previous Video drivers kexts in S/L/E directory.


But there is another problem.. I cnnot get my sound work again. It worked last time when I did it using Audio in Wiki(insanelymac), but now its not working.... I got an error in step 13...

If someone can help me I would appreciate that. Im using MSI 945PL Neo-F motherboard with ALC850 audio device on it.

I have a 7600GS running ok.
I Use NVINJECT 0.2.1 from iPC but I got 512MB and no QE/CI like you.

This worked for me:
Modify the file /system/library/extensions/nvinject.kext/Contents/Info.plist
Edit it and find this:

<key>VRAM,totalsize</key>
<data>
AAAAIA==

Replace the I for an E : which means to change 512 for 256MB

It should look:
<key>VRAM,totalsize</key>
<data>
AAAAEA==

Voila!! I get 256, and QE/CI running.
I hope it helps, let me know.
Regards
Dragon
