Hey Guys,

So my leopard install works perfect, except for graphics. With my 7900GS I can change resolution, but I dont have QE/CI. Any suggestions on how I can rectify my issue?

Thanks!

I have a 7900GS
Use the gfx efi string method.
You'll probably have to add your device ID to GeForce.kext and NVDANV40Hal.kext too.

I have a XFX 7900gs myself. I had to add my device id (0x029210de) to GeForce.kext

Never mind. I double checked the GeForce.kext info.plist and the device ID was entered incorrectly. Works nice now. Thanks!

Hi b4k4,

got the same video card... but i cant generate the hex string using gfxutil...

gfxutil won't create output file because some value is not in a correct hex format

I think i have to replace the NVCAP value in the template.plist file... but don't know what value i've got to put in

Could you provide the values you used to generate the hex string or even better : the hex string itself ???

Thanks a lot ! Keep up the good work !!
