how to enable QE and Cl
I installed ipc OSX 86 10.5.6. I have evga geforce 7800gt 258mb. Currently QE and CL are not supported. I am very new at this. Can someone write a tutorial on what I am supposed to do…please. I need detail instruction because I am new to…

Can someone write a tutorial on what I am supposed to do…please. I need detail instruction because I am new to MACS and all of this.
Help would be much appreciated and I thank anyone that gives some sort of help.

Also where is the "extension folder" located in MAC
Download PCWiz's Universal Installer app. Select your boot disk. Go down and select your card to install gfx string. Restart. Viola. If you had a graphics kext installed like NVKush or NVInject or whatever, delete it before restarting. It'll be in your extensions folder. The extensions folder is in YourHD>system>library.
If your not trting to run dual cards, follow the above, but in case you want to run dual cards, go to
aquamac.prob oards.com/index.cgi?board=hack1&action=display&thread=569
and give that a shot.
Sorry for the formatting, posting from the iPod
Goodluck!
To intel mac pro:
I have already tried your method and it didn't work. I have tried the kexts that come with iPC 10.5.6 and that didn't work. Is there another method that I can use to enable QE and CI. I know that it can work with the 7800gt but I don't know. Anyone have any links or ideas?
There is no other method, enabling QE/CI means making Leopard use your graphics card as hardware accelerated and for that you have to make it look as it were a real Mac card, either by:
- Installing a graphics injector kext like nvkush, nvinject, corevidia, etc.
- EFI String / DSDT mod.
Try different injectors, one at a time, make sure they are properly installed. Do not use EFI strings and injectors at the same time. Some cards are special, and need a custom NVCAP string. Also I think exchanging the DVI or VGA plugs positions could make a difference in some non standard cards.
