It should be supported since the new MBP has one!
NVinject of course doesnt work... Maybe I'll try GFX-Strings soon...

Thanks in advance

Any News on this

I Also have the 9600M GT too, and I can't make it to work

Please Help!

thanks in advanced

NVDarwin as well as DSDTPatch enabled my 9600M GT 512mb

Can you explain? I have tried both and no work: NVDarwin give me a black screen, and DSDT does nothing

thanks in advanced

I have my 9600m GT up and running except via internal LCD which Im still working on...I used iPC 10.5.6 and selected ONLY NVDarwin 512mb for the graphic options, both my HDMI and VGA have full hw support etc...now just need to get my internal working

I run a Toshiba Qosmio G50

@koolkiwikat

I have no Other Monitor laying around (only laptops) but I guess then my current installation is working cause my LCD is black after boot,

I have a Vaio VGN-AW11S with iDeneb 10.5.6

ok.. it have been 2 weeks since I tried to do the same!

the results:
NON EFI:
drivers:
GEFORCE.
NVDANV50Hal.
NVDARESMAN.
(those drivers are good in 10.5.5 package or 10.5.6.. -> 1.5.34 or 1.5.36 versions)
you MUST override the PCImatch section with the number of the beast.. 0x0649010de

injector:
nvkush (KO)
nvdarwin (ok but no qe/ci )
nvinject (ok but no qe/ci 0.2.1 or 0.2.0)
nvresolv (ko)
nvinjectgo (0.2.0 OK with QE/CI but crash in system profiles in video section and cannot see lcd data..
you have at best 1280x800)
you can put nvcap with the ROM IN ATTACHED overriding the nvcap data in the injector.. but the result .. i'll test this evening.. if I have all the output working fine..

GFX EFI:
At today.. I haven't found any efi method to extrapolate from win/linux/mac the good efi of my card.. the only efi founded is the EFI of 9600GT 512mb.. which is QUITE different!!!
then.. with efi string the system start.. but no QE/CI


i tried also to replace IOGraphicsfamily.kext from 1.6.1 (10.5.5) to 1.7.1 (10.5.6) and a patched one 1.7.2..

i tried also to use drivers of Snow..

i tried also to use those drivers:
n9000 v1
n9000 v2
xdarwin 1.1
nvinstaller v 41
nvinstaller v52
nvinstaller v 1.2.1
nvinstaller v 1.2.3
nvinstaller v 1.2.5
acquamac
0-9f23 installer

without any real difference between native drivers and a good injector.. but most of them put injector that you must change inside!! if not.. you can see:

black screen..
strange screen
no screen (not black .. only text boot and no start of windowserver)
screen with thousand of crash and slow without the possibility of move.. ( nvdarwin with xdarwin .. .in ascade!)

bye

@ugokind

Yours is running with your native LCD Resolution now? That's the only thing I want, my 1920x1080 resolution to use X-Code

I also have tested a lot of Drivers and Injectors, pretty much the same as ugokind and nothing help

bah.. no! the maximun osx shows is the 1280.. nothing else. with a 9600gt efi it depends ONLY from the fLAG into the com.apple.boot.. ... if you write 1024 you see in 1024 and the pref display show only 1024.. etc..

but i'm using an injector.. and I never seen any 1900 ... how can you reached that??

So, that means there is no way to get the 9660M GT to work under OSx86?

for me actually .. i'm satisfied with this conf.. but I know that is not the best!
let me see if next days i can do some more experience about ..

If only I can extract the 9600m Rom...then I could get the nvcap info sorted!, Ive tried to extract on a Sony AW17, AW25, AW27...cannot read the bios info

If you point me to how to do it maybe I can try on my AW11S though, also the very same card is used on the last MacBook Pros.

thanks for help

i can give you my nvcap.. or the rom.. if you prefer.. but only this evening!

here I am..

this is my
nvinjectgo.kext/contents/info.plist part with nvcap..
i've erased my hex data.. and put

<key>NVCAP</key>
<data>
0400000000000d00400000000000000700000000
</data>

Let me know if this one works, please,

Thanks!

I Have an HP Pavillon DV5-1157ca with a NVIDIA 9600M GT card with 512 Mb memory. It works perfectly on a Leopard 10.5.6 installation with the vanilla kexts. No modification necessary. QE/CI, both laptop and external HDMI port working, rotate, mirror, etc. I haven't tested the VGA port but I suspect it would work also.

I used to use NVdarwin, but now I use an EFI GFX string made from the following in xml format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</plist>

Hope that helps.

(Of course you'll have to check to pciroot for your machine and adjust the VRAM,totalsize parameter to reflect your card. As for the rom-revision parameter, what you write there is irrelevant, but it is what's going to appear in system information)

I have tested this plist with my PCIRoot and VRAM size but didn't work... I still getting the "blank screen" when I boot with the string.

Any help will be very appreciated

maybe I think it's caused by these typical situations:

-do you have other injector? if so--> remove it and leave only nvdarwin.. if you want to test it!
-in the 3 files.. geforce.. nvdanv50 and nvresolver did you check about correct id of the card?


PLEASE: could you give me the output of:

kextstat

?? It's a good start.

excuse me laqk.. but how can I use this xml?
i must remove my drivers.. but this file.. you use with osx86tools??

i don't know!!

thanks

@tank6b:
I must point out that I'm using a vanilla leopard installation. I see that you're using iDeneb. Maybe this distro has some modified kexts or bundles that interfere with the display system. Maybe that has nothing at all to do with it, but maybe you could try to do a vanilla install and see how it goes.

@ugokind:

Yes, you can use OSX86Tools or EFIStudio to import the xml file, convert it to an hex string and inject it in your com.apple.Boot.plist file. Be sure to remove ALL injectors (NVinject, NVdarwin, etc) and use vanilla 10.5.6 kexts.

thanks.. i just wrote to de osx86 team because the funcion to import doesn't work

i wrote and converted manually.. but it doesn't work

it give a black screen

i use the nvcap generated with the tool in vista..
thanks

Anyupdates people?

black screen is because of the nvdaresman.kext. i have the same issue, when you delete it your card will be recognized but no qe/ci i think

please use that... but is older..
use only the part inside!!

ok ugokind i will try it, but i think i have to change your devid 0x0649 (GT) to mine 0x0648 (GS) ?



Update:
no same result -> black screen after adding my device id, permission repair and reboot

what could that be?

yes you shuld change id on nvda* kext.. and..
choose and try one by one one injector .. only the natit is not valid.
nvdarwin is not good for you?

hmm i think the main problem is with the nvdaresman.kext, because it´s allways the same result, while it´s installed:

nvdarwin -> black screen / without NvdaResman.kext booted up but gfx recognized but without QE/CI and no vga/hdmi
efi string -> black screen / without NvdaResman.kext booted up but gfx recognized but without QE/CI and no vga/hdmi
dsdt patch -> black screen / without NvdaResman.kext booted up but gfx recognized but without QE/CI and no vga/hdmi

with nvdaresman the screen goes black after osx boots up but the system is correctly bootet up because i can here sounds of volume up etc..

ok i will try another injector but i think it´s gonna be the same result.

then the problem seems to be nvdaresman..
did you tried the 9000 v2 package?
now.. except for the one posted by me.. are you using kext from the 10.5.6 upgrade?

hmm i don´t installed anything, only sata driver, fixes and patches. but i tried allthough with latest mbp kexts

ok. we've very different setup.. it's hard to help ypu.. i've 10.5.6.. with smbios-33 anv compiled .. dsdt .. (but with kernel 9.5 voodoo xnu and chamaleon 1.0.12 dsdt is not useful) and I think my nvdaresman is only good for that config.
in fact I tried too to replace and load the most recent drivers.. with black screen.
Really no.. .it's not a black screen.. is as you wrote.. is a dark simil black screen.. but you see a little backlight rear.. and hear tipical process of gui that is started.

Still not working on my end. New 9000 v2 drivers tested with an EFI string and still black screen after boot, can someone who have this card working write a Step by Step Guide of what is using: from Distro to Drivers and installation methods.

That will be very nice

thanks

...like i´ve said, the black screen is an issue with nvdaresman.kext. delete it and you will get into osx but you won´t get qe/ci

ok.. another try
did you get ideneb upgrade kit 1.1?
is in italian sub forum

this includes a lot of changes to patch correctly an hackintosh 10.5.6 with the correct stuff..
important.. it put correct acpi.. iopci.. appleframebuffer, io graphicfamily.. and important.. it has a packet called InvidiaID .. that remake your kext nvidia to fit all the id of all the known cards.

i tested it and my resolution remains.. and qe/ci too. then.. i consider that that package is very heavy (600+ mb) but useful.
because of the fact that in the time you (me.. ) do a lot of changes.. and it's is difficult to take the map of which drivers are congruent into the same macro upgrade (10.5.6 i.e.) or which are modded.. patched.. older.. etc.
then.. with that package i resolved 3 big issues..
ioctl error in 9.6 kernel.
stop/sleep problem
crash in finder
it's better than nothing!

important.. i don't use smbios original... because we've 1066 ddr2 ram.. and not 667!

Thanks!!! I'll try the IDeneb kit right away, and Install Mac OS X once more, Results later I hope this solve the issue

No Luck still black screen, any other news on this?

..got the same.. no fix for that yet but i hope i will come soon..

@ugokind: does you sound work? if yes, how did you get it working. tried some codec dump´s for alc888 but no one worked for me.

oh.. not yet
if you follow those posts
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1099018
you see the progress.. is not good.. we can't change the kext.. we've the correct info to do.. but if we manage the kext nothing happens

also here.. i wrote today to the king
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1102264

will you contribute to the brain distruction??

ha

ah ok, but i won´t challenge with this {censored} because i have not enough time and got my audio working with my fasttrack pro interface

but i want to fix that nvdaresman black screen {censored} because without it, my hdmi/vga out won´t work, which is really important for me.

i started some topics for this but it seems that my topics didn´t got approved by the admin ;(

so please guys help !

I have a HP DV5-1109tx notebook which has 9600m GT Graphic card.

and I followed this guide for video driver and it works perfectly(including QE/CI)

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...hp/t136309.html

If you have a 9600m GT card and don't get the driver fully yet, try above link.

maybe it will work.


Good luck~!

Any News on this? Someone is using their internal display on laptops without the black screen of death? I so frustrated about this issue though, I can't get this working with the right resolution!

which resolution do u want ? i have 1280x720x32 in boot.plist and it works fine.

got nothing new with that black screen issue, hope that a solution will come. at the moment i´m working with my recognized 9600m gs without qe/ci, vga/hdmi out and resolution switch, but it works almost well for the things i´m doing

I will like to have the native internal display resolution of my Vaio VGN-AW11S/B which is 1920x1080; when I set this on the boot options the resolution is increased but the settings remain to 1024x768 and the interface looks bad resized just like on the standard resolution.

I don't need QE/VI or the VGA/HDMI, but I need badly this resolution to work on iPhone Apps

This works for my HP HDX 16t. Thanks! I just need to replace the NVCAP value with the one I found out for HDX 16t, then imported into boot plist, then deleted nvDarwin, clear extension, restart. Then both internal display and vga port are working. Still didn't try HDMI yet.

Still no luck out there, cannot get my internal LCD fired up! damm this 9600M GT!!!

Hi Laqk,

I have a DV5-1174CA which is virtually identical to your DV5-1157CA. I believe that I have BlueRay and a slightly slower processor compared to your model.

You stated that the DV5-1157CA works perfectly on a Leopard 10.5.6 installation with the vanilla kexts. I'm not sure what "vanilla kexts" means and I do not know which Leopard distro you used. The same goes for what "vanilla install" means.

Which distro did you use and did you keep the original Vista installation? Are you dual booting to Vista/Leopard?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc F

Please help Qosmio G50-12k does not work rudders 9600m gt graphics,

thanks

I only works on an external monitor and internal LCD does not work?????

hi ugokind

still got no luck with my 9600m gs

i think tank6b and me have the same issue with black screen.

it has nothing to do with injectors i think, because it´s always the same thing

ahh my hdmi out is working now but internal screen stays black
(or i remove nvdraresman.kext than it works but hdmi etc.. won´t)

maybe it´s related to nvcap? i´m going to build my string again...maybe it helps...
