Nvidia 8400GS Confusion
I am running SL 10.6.2 with a Nvidia 8400GS PCIe 512 GPU and I can't figure out how to get it to stop saying "I can has model?" in System Profiler. I am using NvKush kext and the card actually works great I have full support in everything even though it does not say I do. I can run final cut pro and have the waves thing when I manage widgets so I assume I have full quartz. Here is what Sys Profiler says:
Chipset Model: I Can Has Model? Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x06e4 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: L1975NW: Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected I'm so confused here. Where is quartz? And why does it say I can has model? Please help? |
I don't know about "I can has model", but snow leopard doesn't list quartz in system profiler.
Maybe you can alter the model name in the info.plist inside nvkush.kext |

**UPDATE**
Got it fixed using osx86tools. For anyone else having problems here is what I did: Open osx86tools Click "Add EFI Strings/Boot Flag" Choose GFX strings (top left) Choose custom geforce hex at very bottom of cards list For name input your card. Example - nVidia GeForce 4800 GS VRAM size: 512 (or whatever yours is) Output config: DvI-I/VGA (again, whatever you have) Then choose "Import string to boot editor" at top and then apply at bottom of next window. That's it. Hope this helps someone. |
