Schweppes Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 1) You need to download NVinstaller v41 2) Double click on the NVInstallerV.41.pkg installer package and select: * Latest kext and framework (90 Mb) * 256 Mb vanilla (36 kb) * Netkas 10.5.2 kernel (if you are using patched kernel with your leopard) 3) When installer finish, DONT RESTART, go to /System/Library/Extensions and delete or backup your NVinject.kext. 4) Download this EDITED NVinject.kext: NVinject.kext.zip 5) Unzip and copy NVinject.kext in /System/Library/Extensions 6) Open Terminal and type (you can use Kext Helper too instead of type this commands in terminal) sudo -s press enter and type your password Repair NVinject.kext permissions: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext 7) Delete Extensions.mkext from /System/Library 8) Restart and you have full working 8400GS with CI & QE and full resolution change.

ASHUTA Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looking to try and use a 8400GS (non-mac version) in a real mac pro (trying to go cheap as possible)... Need one extra DVI (for 3rd monitor) & don't want to pay for another expensive video card... Will this kext / instructions work for a real mac? Can't find much detail on the subject... I have a 8800GT (mac version) & the 8400GS (non-mac version) in the mac pro now & the mac pro sees the cards like this: G84 Board - p403h05 - p403h05: Chipset Model: G84 Board - p403h05 - p403h05 Type: Display Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-2 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0404 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: 3233 Displays: Display Connector: Status: No display connected Display Connector: Status: No display connected ------------------------------------- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Type: Display Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0611 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: 3233 Displays: DELL 2405FPW: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported DELL 2405FPW: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roshan rAO Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 DVI isn't working for me .. VGA is working fine here .... Is there anyway I can fix this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koji88 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I added the NVinstaller v.41 to my laptop with an 8400M GT and it works!! YAY, however...only my HDMI output works, well I haven't tried my VGA output yet, but seriously, my laptop display doesn't work. Although I am very happy that HDMI works, I didn't think that would have happened considering everyone's DVI port hasn't worked. I'm almost there I just know it! Is there a way I can have OSX detect my laptop monitor and display on that? I tried using system preferences, but it only shows the monitor hooked up via HDMI.
