Help with creating EFI string for GF 8400 GS 512 mb pci
 

Hi guys,

I am about to create an EFI string using gfxutil but I cannot find out the device-path.

I have an internal unsupported graphics card that cannot be disabled in bios, setting pci as first bus to look for graphics card also does not help so all the utilities like EFIStudio and osx86tools cannot work to make EFI strings.

Can lspci ouputs be converted to device-paths?

I have the following lspci output:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS [10de:06e4] (rev a1)

I use netkas PC-EFI 10.3 so pciroot = 1.

Anyone knows how to transform this into a device path? :)

I have a GF 8400 GS 512 mb PCI that I am getting desperate to get to work.

If anyone can post a full gfx string for the card that would be awesome :)

Bump!
 

Same issue. I have an EVGA 8400 GS 512MB 64 bit PCI. (Not PCI-E.)

Injectors seem to give me a crash or kernel panic before login and EFI strings cause me to get a black screen most of the time. I have NOT been able to get QE/CI to work using this card... With a combination of specific Kexts I can get higher resolutions... but none of them reach the desired 1600x900@60 that I need... and none of them give me QE/CI.

Everything else about this install works swimmingly. Oh and lspci tells me that the nvidia device is unknown but the device id is 06e4.

Help!:p

EDIT: lspci tells me this...

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 06e4 (rev a1)

I also have a GeForce 8400GS(same id and pciroot) but mine is 256mb, so I run osx86tools and made a custom string for you Common_Sense:
I've set the output to DVI/DVI, tell me if you need another.

@dragolas: I don't know about a PCI card, sorry. Take a look at evosenabler if you haven't already. http://www.osx86.es/?p=585
