DSDT and Dual Graphics card problem

kdawg · July 29, 2009

The problem isn't getting the cards to actually work the problem is getting them to work with Core Image and Quartz Extreme. Right now they work with CI Software enabled and QE not at all. Previously both cards worked fine injecting EFI strings. Now that I've migrated to DSDT I'm having problems.

This works but without CI/QE:

Essentially it's just removing that enables the CI/QE:

								"name", 
							Buffer (0x0C)
							{
								"NVDA,Parent"
							},

Like I said when I inject the EFI string in my com.apple.Boot.plist it works fine but I don't want to have to revert back to that. Anyone? Anyone?
