[kamess]

Thanks imkantus.

[Imkantus]

Yep go to /System/Library/Extensions and trash NVEnabler.kext, then install the pkg I had posted - then go to /System/Library and trash Extensions.mkext as well - after reboot it should work.

[kamess]

Thanks for you reply.

No it don't work.

I downloaded nvdarwin.

I'd gone to system/lybrary/extensions and deleted nvenabler.kext, I deleted extensions from lybrary.

Then I installed nvdarwin. I launch the application, but I can't select the system/lybrary/extensions path. I just can install it in my disc. But after install it, it goes to "system/lybrary/extensions"

I reboot, and then I receive a message saying:

"system extension cannot be used:
the system extension "system/lybrary/extensions /NVdarwin.kext" was isntalled improperly and cannot be used. please try reinstalling it, or contact the produt's vendor for an update."


Help please.

I know i'm not installing it right...

I've installed nvdarwin 3 times, and when I reboot, extensions.mkext is in the disc again. I trashed it , and it's there again =/.



One question, NVDANV10HAL.kext isn't related with this problem? I have many of NVDANV...HAL.kext in the extensions folder.
I found it by searching for nvdarwin in "system/lybrary/extensions ".


Thanks one time more

OK. Do the following on Terminal:

sudo -s
# It will ask for your password
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/nvdarwin.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/nvdarwin.kext

This should fix it.

That's the way it should be, it's the Extensions Chache, so the reason to delete it is to have it recreated on next to boot to have changes applied to it.

Thanks for this.



BUT, I don't know if this is working. My screen resolution stays the same(1024*768) and I am not able to change it in system preferences (dock) because 1024x768 is the only one that appears in the list.

Once again I need your help

One thing... when I start my computer, it says "VESA 14Mb Nvidia"... If this worked, shouldn't it say "Nvidia 9200GS" or something?


Thanks Imkantus!

[Imkantus]

Well OK try to rebuild the Extensions.mkext again - delete it or use the " -f " bootflga - effect it the same.
If that doesn't help, check if the nvdarwin Extension has been loaded: Use this on Terminal:

sudo kextstat | grep -i nvdarwin

[kamess]

Thanks Imkantus.

Well I trashed the extensions.mkext, rebooted the computer and I wrote it in Terminal: "sudo kextstat | grep -i nvdarwin"

Appeared this:

" 86 0 0x47bdf000 0x6000 0x5000 com.nvdarwin (1.2.5) <17 12> "


Whats the result? Was nvdarwin loaded sucessfuly?


Thanks.

One other question.

I have Leopard 10.5.5, and in order to sucessfuly install and run the xCode(iPhone app) I need Leopard 10.5.7. Can I upgrade to 10.5.7 without a new installation of Mac OSX? Or do I need to download other CD with Mac OSX and install it again?

Thanks

Yeh, it has been loaded but still not working, right?
Doesn't matter - still have ideas left - remove nvdarwin.kext again - we will try something else, within the update.

Many newbies, who aren't sure how things work, tend to crash their system with doing updates - so I will try to give you some advices, so that you can do a safe update (I hope^^).

1. Download latest FakeSMC, and install the Leopard version using KextHelper. Do not reboot yet - go to /System/Library/Extensions and delete dsmos.kext - you won't need the Decrypter any longer with using the SMC emulation.
2. Download Chameleon v2 RC1 Installer pkg, install it to your Leopard partition to upgrade your bootloader. Once done, open Terminal and enter "sudo rm -f /boot". Then Download PC_EFI 10.5 boot file and drop it to the main directory (/) of your Leopard partition.
3. Download DSDT Patcher by fassl and create a dsdt.aml - optimized for "0 Darwin" copy it to the /Extra folder. (Don't worry if this doesn't work, skip the step.)
4. Use "sudo kextstat | grep -i Disabler" to ensure this Extension has been loaded. This is very important for the Update not to crash!!
5. After next reboot, download 10.5.8 Combo Update from Apple & install it. Don't wory if it needs a second attempt to boot in your system again.

Once running 10.5.8 with PC_EFI 10.5 bootloader, open Terminal again and use the following command to get the gfx's pci value from ioreg:

ioreg -l | grep -15 “AppleACPIPCI” | grep UID

It normaly should return either 1 or 0.
Then open an editor and create a file with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-pci0</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> </dict> </plist>

Place the red flag only if the value from the ioreg was 0 - if it was 1, leave that string empty!

Save the file as com.apple.Boot.plist and copy it to /Extra

Reboot again.

Wow Imkantus! What a post!

Well I'm now downloading Mac OSX 10.5.8 update from support.apple.

Is there any chance to put Mac OSX in Portuguese? Now it's in English, can I change the language?


After download all the apps and the Mac OSX 10.5.8, i'll try your tutorial from your last post.

Then (If i can boot ) I'll post the results!.


Thanks Imkantus.

Well the uphuckers had been removing most language translations from their releases to have more usable space on their DVD images...

My bandwith is currently allmost utilized & I will have to leave in about a hour - but maybe you'll recieve a sudden PM with an upload of the Portuguese.pkg tomorrow.
