I have been running Snow Leopard on my AMD for quite some time now, and just recently upgraded the motherboard. (got a deal on craigslist for an asus m2n-sli deluxe that came with 4GB (2x2GB) ram already on it, for 30 bucks, so i figured…

i just bought a geforce GT240 1GB DDR5, and after i installed it, i lost display altogether in my retail snow leopard installation. if id delete geforce.kext (and all the other nvidia kexts) from within windows (have MacDrive 8 installed)…

so i managed to get my AMD Athlon running on OS X Leopard using iDeneb. i ended up disconnecting both SATA drives and using an IDE hard drive and DVD drive. installed. and is now running perfectly, all drivers loaded, except the network…

I have been searching this issue for the past 3 days. I cannot update to 10.6.5. I installed snow leopard 10.6.3 from the retail DVD, and it works flawlessy, even the graphics card now, (haven't tested OpenGL in games but cinebench in…

okay, so i got a dell dimension 8200 from my granddad, and i decided to try OS X on it because it is an intel processor, unlike my AMD, which i never did get going. it worked like a charm, but i kept selecting the wrong stuff, cuz it…

I broke down and bought a Geforce 6200 256mb agp off newegg. OS recognized it right away but i could only boot in safe mode. Had to change the injector kexts with my hardware I'd number. Now i have full resolution control, colors, refresh…

“stuck on the grey loading screen for install of leopard. a grey screen with an apple and a rotating circle. on the top of the apple is a circle with a line thru it. \”

“got past the root error, now im getting a new error. when i press f8 at darwin it gives me 2 options: boot into windows NTFS foreign OS, or into Apple HFS. when i hit the apple option, it says it cannot find 'system config file '/library/pr…”

“I had the same issues you have when i was trying to get snow leopard on my AMD. i was about to give up. try this. install retail from nawcom cd, once its installed (u said it boots right?) then go back into windows, and install the trial of…”

“That was great deal on that machine. You can max the ram out for cheap. I have been waiting for a good deal on one of those for just the case. i just checked the price on craigslist... for a broken one that doesnt start, its still over 100.…”

“Thanks, I will check that whenever I hook the AMD up again. I came across a deal for a Powermac G5 2GHz Dual Core for 30 bucks, guy thought it was broken. So I've been using this, and the AMD is in the closet, waiting for me to decide to pl…”

“okay, finally asked my apple buddy about my issue. he said he doesnt know a lot about the hackintosh world, but maybe, JUST MAYBE, the nForce chipset kext may be interfering with the nVidia Geforce kexts, causing a slowdown. this sounds pla…”

“Thanks, but I don't think it's necessary anymore. I broke down and bought a hdmi to dvi cable, and it works perfecty. Surprised me, actually, that the hdmi works. What my problem is now is I have very laggy qe/ci. It's enabled, I have rippl…”

“Update. Removed aty_init, and removed all injectors. Will now boot on dvi. Graphics enabler works perfectly booting from VGA. I can then plug in the dvi. Screen will flash, and come up on dvi. I can then remove the VGA and it's fine until I…”

“ok update. did a full reload. (by the way the nawcom mod cd is the best boot cd i have ever used. booted my amd into the installer.) i reloaded everything. graphics enabler works, but ONLY on VGA. dvi doesnt even boot. so im back at square …”

“should i just wipe the hard drive and reload fresh? even if i have no enablers in, if there is any reference of a Geforce in the extensions folder, (any geforce kexts period) it will not start up while on the DVI. maybe since i originally i…”

“take off the second monitor and reboot. i had that problem with my 7900GS”

“dsdt is kinda a PITA unless you know your hardware in and out, but is the absolute best way to achieve hardware injection, and if you can do it, then DO IT. you will not regret it. if not... try an injector, such as silent natit_64. (its bo…”

“That's weird. Do u get a black screen at boot with graphicsenabler?”

“r683 or whatever, right? remove any enablers, (NVInject, Natit, NVEnabler, etc) and reboot, and at the disk selection screen, (chameleon screen) type "GraphicsEnabler=Y" without the quotes, and if it works, go into your chameleon preference…”

“just run graphicsenabler=y. my old 7900GS was immediately picked up by it and worked FLAWLESSLY. make sure you use the new chameleon bootloader. hope this helps”

“Thanks for the response, but the card finally blew it's cookies. Forgot about this thread or I would have updated. Though I can say snow leopard supports the 7950GT natively. Chameleon rc5 beginning with r643 supports it just by graphicsena…”

“ok update. i got resolutions working, and the card is being read as 512MB by the OS. i used NVInstaller V.41. at first i kept kernel panicing, then i booted into windows and typed in the panic. people on boards said to remove geforce.kext b…”

“Okay edited the com.apple.boot.plist, no change. Edited the geforce kexts, and added in nvenabler, edited it with my pci I'd, 0295, repaired permissions, rebooted, I get a blue screen for a couple seconds, then it goes black with a live cur…”

“okay so i tried graphics enabler and that didnt work. tried graphics mode = the resolution i need, and it doesnt work. the vesa doesnt even support this monitors native resolution. its a 22 inch widescreen. and about sending the dsdt file, …”

“Sorry for the delay... Been a bit busy. I got qe/ci working by putting in a 7900 256mb. But I needed the 512mb 7950 for a game I play in windows, so I put that back in and changed the id's and it crashed the hack. So I reloaded, and am stil…”

“Seriously, no response? Am i alone here? Obviously not because i can see the views going up. For the record I looked in windows and my card is running the cuda openGL drivers.”

“all day, many views, and no response yet? i KNOW i'm not the only one with this problem! just tried natit dual 2.0. didnt crash me, im booted into OS X. (had to buy a new USB wireless) however i don't have QE/CI. i used osx86 tools to enabl…”

“i managed to fix it by reinstalling the OS. for some reason, if i installed it on my 750GB hard drive, id get that script error. if i installed on my 500GB drive, id have no errors. leads me to believe my new 750GB western digital is dying,…”

“okay, got callisto installed and working. however, i have no 3d accelleration. any ideas?”

“update: got the sound card working. listening to music on it right now. . one problem solved. now get to tackle the huge one... video card. then the about this mac crash... then im officially done”

“okay, so I took apart the computer to hook up the other hard drive for windows, and wouldnt ya know, the card is an all in wonder x800. not compatible huh? and i never did get windows installed... im guessing its because i have the hard dri…”

“i give up.. apple has beaten me.”

“that would be great...”

“Did you have any luck?”

“no one has any idea?”
