Just installed onto a XFX 8600 GT 512MB...I read that I need to edit Info.plist for 512MB...It seems to work (512MB shown into info...just a "I Can Has Model?" into Chipset Model). Should I generate Info.plist for 512 from this site?:

Hi! I've formatted and reinstalled kalyway 10.5.1 on my VAIO, and then I've installed 10.5.3 combo provided by Kalyway too.
Before I had to format, I had my NV 7400 go with QE & CI enabled with Scottdangel drivers, but only with an external monitor (because internal won't work on sony vaio). So now, on 10.5.3 to get QE & CI have I to install NVInstaller_V41 by Scottdangel and then NVKush or have I to install NVKush only? Thanks!

old natit works too, as do gfx-strings, just FYI

No luck for me. Got a 7300GT 256MB and still no QE/CI enabled after NVKushinstaller.

Any Idea?

Same issue here... I have an NVS-290 256 No QE. Tried NVKush no joy. How do I get the strings for GX/EFI?

Thanks

I have a geforce 8800gtx 768meg and nvkush fixed my video however only shows 256meg. I tried the various info.plist generated from the diabolik1605.com/plister and all of them failed. The files do not keep the plist icon even though I am clearly in plaintext mode in textedit even used pico, seems they are missing a closing tag but even when I fixed that issue still not working. Can someone tell me what I change in the Info.plist to make nvkush see 768megs isntead of 256?

Thanks

FWIW I had the same problem after upgrading to 10.5.3. I renamed NVInject.kext to NVInject.kext.old and installed NVKush and voila, everything is working again now (CI/QE). I have a NVidia 7300GS. Thanks to everyone's suggestions on how to fix this!

I love you. Got a 7300 GT and this saved me from a tedious time machine backup morning...

I have the same problem. NVKush fixed QE+CI with 10.5.3 but only 256MB of 512MB VRAM are shown. I also tried the diabolik 512MB plist generator and it failed for me too. However I edited the existing Info.plist in TextEdit to prevent the icon from disappearing.

The problem is due to a little detail in the plist, you can keep your original injecter, explanation here
oetzi
Nothing..... I've tried to reinstall Nvinject ant then NVKush, Try to rename as suggested in the post above, but still no QE / CI activated.

Can anyone help me?

Bro you are a lifesaver and a GENIUS!! smile.gif thank you so much for the tip it works Beautifully and now my machine starts up so damn fast its insane! The little spinner under the apple logo barely makes it three times around and poof my desktop is up. So much better than when I had nvkush installed and it only saw 256 megs.... Now if only I could get to using a gfx string for my card.....
Anyhow much thanks again for a fast response and thanks go out to all who responded to my issue as well.

iji oh
Diabolik's Plist generator didn't work to get my card recognized as 512 either.

I installed nvkush and it recognizes my card as a 8600GT but vram has only 32MB. also, my qe/ci is still not working. Am i any closer to fixing this annoying QE/CI problem?

I've been trying to get QE/CI working on an NVIDIA 7300GT PCIe with no success. Tried NVKush's flash based install,..I rebooted,..typed in -f -v to see a number of things get reloaded. After the Apple screen,..I get a black background with a movable mouse.

I've been playing with a number of drivers/installs that people have posted here and have successfully been able to get a 1920 x 1080 resolution but no QE/CI. I played a movie on it and experience laggy playback. I played the same movie on a different OSx86 machine that is running on an ATI HD 2400 PCIe with QE/CI enabled and the file plays fine. That sort of leads me to believe that the culprit is not being able to get QE/CI running on the NVIDIA 7300GT card,..

I did see these number of different plist's that I could modify/generate from the following site, but there wasn't really any posts that I saw that used that generator or discussed anything about it:

http://diabolik1605.com/plister/

Anyone have any other idea's I might be able to try? I'm thinking of maybe just putting XP back on that machine since there doesn't seem to be a way that I can get QE/CI running, but I'd much rather prefer to keep OS X if possible,..

Thanks!

Problem solved thanx to this simple soltion. I edited the Info.plist for setting the RAM (also on Diabolik).
The real great news was that Xbench score went from 198.6 to 212.3! So, that is not just a difference. So thanx to a unsuccesfull update, I am no longer stuck with a NVInject.kext.

this workd for me.

I have geforce go 6600. NVKush works great for external connector but I get nothing from internal display. From searching around I have found that the vga bios is on the main bios so it is not possible to dump to get the nvcap. I'm pulling my hair out with this. could someone please point me in the right direction. it seems i am hitting brick walls with everything i try.

Hi,
A friend of mine installed Kalyway 10.5.1 on a Core 2 Quad PC with an Asus P5K motherboard and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 graphic card (256 MB version, device ID 0x029E). He used Vanilla kernel and NVinject.

After Kalyway 10.5.3 combo udpate, while System Profiler showed the correct chipset model (Quadro FX 1500) and total VRAM amount, the Core Image acceleration and Quartz Extreme were broken.

The solution was to delete NVinject.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ and install the NVkush kext instead, from the package found at:
http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/

Now the chipset model name is not recognized anymore (it displays the sentence "CAN I HAS MODEL?") but it's not a big deal because now the CI/QE problem is solved. 256 MB VRAM are also used.

i could not get my card QuadPro FX570 work on my T61p sad.gif
This video card has ID 0x040c. I also tried to install NVkush, but no luck, i can get 1680x1050 works however the VRAM is only 32 MB

Could anybody help to make it works?

Thanks in advance.

i tried nvkush on 10.5.5 with a 9600M GT. it says can i has your model. model: 9600M GT dev id 0x0649 revision id: 0x00a1. let me know what i can do to get this working plz

The plist generator doesn't work for some reason. I had to manually edit it using this guide here http://warp101.blogspot.com/2009/01/modify...for-nvkush.html

Taken from the website above
Here's how to change your installed NVKush driver RAM size:
Open the folder /System/Library/Extensions/NVkush.kext/Contents/, and copy the Info.plist file to the desktop.
Open the Info.plist file with the Text Editor.
Find the text:
<data>
AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==
</data>
and right after the </data> insert the text:
<key>VRAM,totalsize</key>
<data>
AAAA?A==
</data>
Depending on the memory, substitute the ? with one of the characters below (in uppercase!) and save the file:
F if you have 320MB
I if you have 512MB
K if you have 640MB
M if you have 768MB
Q if you have 1024MB
Backup the Info.plist as Info.bak in the NVKush folder (read this if you need help), and copy the modified Info.plist from the desktop back to the NVKush folder. Insert password when asked.
Repair the disk permissions (just in case) or use OSX86 tool an repair disk permission, set extension and clear extension. Afterward, boot with -f during darwin and you should be gold.

Note: If you're too lazy, you can use my premade kext for 512mb. I have a 9800GT EVGA. Use kext helper to install and use OSX86 tool an repair disk permission, set extension and clear extension. Afterward, boot with -f during darwin and you should be gold.
