-   Leopard 10.5 (http://infinitemac.com/forumdisplay.php?f=85)
-   -   nVidia 7600GS QE/CI with 10.5.2 anyone? If so, how? (http://infinitemac.com/showthread.php?t=324)

As the topic says, please, those who have an nVidia 7600GS card, let me know if you've managed to get qe/ci working with it, and what it takes to get it working. Thank you.

Things I've tried: nvinject 256 (the one on the installation disk), natit dual display (worked with no problem on Tiger), Titan... Also, I tried to remove all other device IDs except my graphics card's (0x039210de) when I do that, I can't even boot into framebuffer mode... So, still no dice. To think making this card work used to be a walk in the park before Leo...

Does it work with QE/CI in Tiger?

Which motherboard do you have, and is it a PCI-E or an AGP card?

Tell me this, please. :)

Tiger 10.4.10: QE/CI fully working on dual display using natit.kext
ASUS A8NSLI SE (nForce4)
PCI-E ASUS EN7600GS SILENT

BTW, if it helps, I've installed using the 9.1.0 kernel. The 9.2.0 kernel installation caused an appleintelpowermanagement panic on reboot...

Well HCE do this hoping it will help you:

Enter Terminal in root mode: (You know the sudo -s & password thing)type
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/NV*
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/Ge* (those commands are to remove files) also do
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/Natit*

after that install the Universal Nvidia Installer from Zephyrot
now in the same terminal
cd /system/library/extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel * && chmod -R 755 *
diskutil repairpermissions /
reboot

After that ill kill myself if it dont work :-) Hope it helps

So, to sum up, I can boot into Leopard only in framebuffer mode and ONLY if I leave the Geforce/nvidia related kexts alone. If I insert only my dev id, the system won't boot at all anymore, although it should... Needless to say, the specific dev id is NOT present in the info.plist of the unmodified kexts. It's a bit confusing, to say the least, I mean the card only works when its specific entry is NOT present in the list...

Should nvinject 256 be installed or not?

What do you think my friend, for a minute put your "thinking cap" and start messing around so you can learn up a bit...
An Ol' Saying in my country tells: Give a man a fish... and you'll only feed him once... Teach a man how to fish... and you'll feed him for life.
Hope it helps

Thanks, I'll start messing around then. And I'll kill myself if it don't (sic!) work.
