help! Can't seem to get graphic acceleration no matter what I try.
Hi,
I've been working on my hackintosh laptop for a couple of weeks now and was really trying not to post for help ... but I'm stuck. I have no graphic acceleration and it crashes if it goes into sleep mode. To deal with the graphics I have tried multiple nVidia kexts: nVinject, nVenabler, natit. These made my system profiler show proper values for the card, but no acceleration. I have modified the efi string in the plist using osx86tools: This didn't apear to do anything. I have played around with the DSDT a bit as well. What's worse is that when I do the basic EFi string edit: graphics enabled y etc. my screen goes blank on start up, but the computer is still running. A clear sign that the graphics are not loaded properly. If anyone has even some ideas to try I would be very grateful. My setup: PM45 laptop (Sony Vaio CW) core 2 duo nVidia GT 210 snow leopard 10.6.3 Thank you. p.s. if anyone has any ideas on how to get my laptop to sleep without crashing I would love to hear it. |
quick update:
I went and removed all the kext's starting with NV from system/lib/extens/ folder, and now I can leave graphics enabled without getting the black screen and "about this mac" shows the right amount of video ram. Still no graphics acceleration. |
