Under 10.5.5
1. Download kexts by Rumblpak
http://rapidshare.com/files/154407076/Extensions.tgz.html2. Add your device id in info.plist of downloaded NVDANV50Hal.kext:
Open info.plist, find
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>
0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff
0x019010de&0xfff0ffff
0x040010de&0xfff0ffff
0x042010de&0xfff0ffff
0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff
0x060010de&0xffe0ffff
0x062010de&0xffe0ffff
0x064010de&0xffe0ffff
0x086010de&0xffe0ffff
</string>
Just change above to
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x[your dev id]10de</string>
EX: my 9600gt has dev id 0622, so mine is
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x062210de</string>
Save the plist.
3.Use kext helper to replace AppleGraphicsControl.kext, IOGraphicsFamily.kext, all kexts with Geforce and NVDAXXXHal, NVDAResman.kext.
4. Use gfx EFI strings guide to add your efi string in boot plist:
http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=222.0Osx86tool is suggested for an easy EFI string making:
http://osx86tools.googlecode.com/files/OSX...ols_1.0.150.zipIf you have NVInjector.kext NVkush.kext Natit.kext Titan.kext, you should delete them.
Reboot and cross fingers:)
Mine is working fine, I'm also an AMD user with NVidia chipset.

Simply copy new kext+ EFI strings, it works like a charm.
When I heard the gpu fan suddenly silent before getting into desktop I knew it's working

Where did you get the kexts? And what in.plist do you use?
Are you using 9600GT or 9600M GT?

nah this isn't a joke, i'm not surprised it works. GO try it yourself you 9600 users.
I just wanna see a screenshot to see the 9600 GT specs (opengl 3 should be 30%) that's all

The new kexts should only work in 10.5.5; however, seeing as how my new motherboard refuses to let me boot off an external hd I have no way of testing. I'm attempting at shrinking my D drive enough to do an install but no promises when that may be.

Oct 19 2008, 03:32 AM
Hi guys, don't just copy all the extensions blindly. I'm a 9600gt user, so i just copy AppleGraphicsControl.kext, IOGraphicsFamily.kext, all kexts with Geforce and NVDAXXX.
I havent compare them with old ones, I think some of them are not necessary. And I use kext helper for those permission things.
Dont mess with other kexts especially acpi, that's gonna hurt!
I just got too exited to get it working, so my first post is not very clear, sorry my bad!
cyclonefr
I'm not with my hackintosh now, I will post the screenshot later.
I'm very surprised that even gpu fan got controlled by the driver, just like in windows. When with no drivers, my gpu fan is forced at full throttle, and make a horrible noise.

Oct 19 2008, 03:41 AM
When you are able to can you please write a full guide on how to do this, if you could include screenshots it would be great. I presume there are a few people with this card that would love to have it properly supported.
Thank you!

So you got the right EFI string and leopard recognize your video card correctly?
You can see if NVDANV50Hal.kext is loaded in about this mac-> more-> software->extentions

find info.plist from NVDANV50Hal.kext, and find
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>
0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff
0x019010de&0xfff0ffff
0x040010de&0xfff0ffff
0x042010de&0xfff0ffff
0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff
0x060010de&0xffe0ffff
0x062010de&0xffe0ffff
0x064010de&0xffe0ffff
0x086010de&0xffe0ffff
</string>
Just change above to
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x[your dev id]10de</string>
EX: my 9600gt has dev id 0622, so mine is
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x062210de</string>
after that, you should repair permission and remake kext cache, so I suggest you first edit the plist of Rumblpak's NVDANV50Hal.kext, then use kext helper to put the kexts in.

Oct 19 2008, 09:17 AM
Agh, frozen on something about Boot-cache avoidance.
Error pic hereBecause we are using the same card, I can tell because our dev ids are the same, are you able to send me all the modified kexts and your boot.plist? or upload it for everyone to use (or that against these forums rules? I forget.)
Anyway I would really love to be one of the first to be able to have a 9600gt fully working under OSX86

How did you install those kexts? you'd better do it with kext helper, or you have to repair permission and rebuild kext cache. you also need to delete all the NVInjector NVKush Natit Titan kexts.
I can give you my boot.plist, but I'm not sure it will work on your machine.

Yeah I installed using kext helper, just re imaging my OS X partition now. Is it possible for you to write a guide because I'm guessing I've missed a vital step.

not sure if it'll work with 10.5.2... I just tried to replace all the kext in 10.5.4... I repaired the permissions, rebooted...and it just wouldn't boot anymore... (stuck on the gray apple)... I tried booting with -v no sure what the problem was but it hanged pretty early....
will try to re-install with a 10.5.5 dvd see if I get the same result..

I just made an installer for the NVIDIA 9 Series Drivers taken from the new Macbookpro Update. Download it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/155562098/NVID...rivers.zip.htmlMy 9800 GTX now uses the correct Open GL Engine.

10.5.5 minimum requirement I would think.
