Hi everyone,

I have an Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz PC with OS X x86 10.4.6 (with sec update 2006-003 on it).

Like many others i have trouble getting my video card working properly, i cant get any resolutions other than 1024x768, no matter if less or greater.

Here is the info displayed in system profiler about my video hardware:

Display:

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: PCI
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0322
Revision ID: 0x00a1

Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

An additional thing that the system profiler does no tell is that its an Abit Siluro product (I know from the driver CD for windows)

It might not be enough info but i dont know much else about it...

Seing that the vendor is nVIDIA i downloaded the MacVidia Beta 2 Build 1 driver and followed all install instructions that were given. Nothing changed when i rebooted except that during boot when it loads the kext files for video card the two of the files that i had to install manually (as in the instruction) cannot be found (when i boot, instead of the apple logo and the turning wheel i see the Darwin commandline but thats no matter it works the same way). Thats what Drwin says, but they should be there.

Please help if you can in any way

Thx a lot!
