I've been doing some testing lately (and still am) and I noticed a couple of things.

I have a FX5500 128MB AGP card installed on this machine, and it's supported with NVinject, NVKush and NVdarwin on 10.5.5 and lower.

However, upon updating to 10.5.6, I noticed that I could not boot, and it was always after those injectors did their probing. When I removed them, I could then boot, without acceleration.

This was tested on another HD, so I booted into my 10.5.5 system, and copied the old nvidia kexts I installed when I updated to 10.5.5 and moved them into the 10.5.6 system and it booted.

Now, I noticed that many people with 6XXX cards or higher can boot fine after updating. So this must be a <6XXX card issue.

If you have an FX5200 card or higher, but not a 6XXX card, I suggest trying the kexts from 10.5.5 if you can't boot after updating to 10.5.6. Make sure it's the injector at fault by booting with -v and watch when the injector does it's magic. It should hang shortly after.

Please let me know if this fixes your boot problems.

NVDANV30Hal.kext/Contents/MacOS/NVDANV30Hal: Mach-O object ppc

understood ?


They dropped nv3x support for intel pc, u have to use now 10.5.5 kexts always

Right.

So I tried just replacing the NVDANV30HAL.kext into the new test install, and that didn't allow the system to boot. What I did was then add the older NVResman.kext, GeForce.kext,and GeForceFXGLDriver.bundle. The system then booted with full acceleration, but there's still a graphics corruption occuring, but since people with 6XXX cards and higher don't have this issue on 10.5.6 it leads me to believe that the card is incompatible with a core change that Apple made in 10.5.6 using these kexts, and since you can't boot without the 10.5.5 kexts, there's no way to get around this graphics glitch other than just upgrading to a better, more supported card.

I did it , i can boot now but with no acceleration (using natit)

I have a Quadro FX 5600 modded from an 8800GTX and it just gives me Kernel Panics whenever I boot with 10.5.6. I can't even get to the Desktop. This drove me nuts over the last week trying to figure out why I couldn't upgrade, until I figured out it was the video card. Super bummed. I'm using EFI Strings.

CI/QE Working on FX5200 AGP w/ iPC 10.5.6 / Revised 01/06/09

1. Install iPC 10.5.6 with NVKush Complete Package - Working
Alternative: Modified version of NVInject Click to view attachment
(NVInject 0.2.1 from DVD did not render QE/CI)
After rebooting, view boot screen to confirm that NVinject (or the "injector" you installed) actually loaded; if it didn't load, rebuild permissions using disk utility and restart

2. If no QE/CI after Reboot: try GForce/NVDAN kexts from 10.5.5

3. Repair "System Preferences Blacked-Out GUI Corruption"
(Only for 10.5.6 install - not occuring in 10.5.5)
Restore the Coregraphics.framework from 10.5.5 WITH PACIFIST
to /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ then Reboot
using Sanya's Method (Thanks Sanya!) ----
--------------------------------------------
Coregraphics.framework 10.5.5 install
1. insert a 10.5.5. distro
2. open pacifist
3. click "open apple install disks"
4. browse to the system folder (inside of one of displayed choices, depends on which distro you are using), and follow the path to Coregraphics.framework, then right-click on it and choose install
5. when it asks you to replace, choose yes (it will over-write the 10.5.6 version)
6. it may go a bit slow, let it run. after, reboot. On reboot, working Preferences GUI...
Alternative: Use "Search" in Pacifist

It's impossible to get worked FX5200/FX5500 with CI/QE on 10.5.3-10.5.6. It's a fact.

Excuse me??? Mine working out fine GeForce AGP 5200 FX on iPC 10.5.6 .. just install the iPC 10.5.6 without any Video/Graphic driver.. after that install NVkushComplete.. check out my desktop screenshot in the attachment

thanks to Jess Fortress method I got my card working , but now my question is , How do i get
QE/CI working? My card is now Quartz supported, once I enabled it , graphics went crazy , Do I need to use EFI string first? any help will be appreciated, thanks

congratulation mate.. can you upload the screen shot of your "crazy" graphics?

Click to view attachment

same with me. you must install coregraphics.framework from 10.5.5. but my problem is I don't have 10.5.5 installer so I can't install coregraphics.framework to my ipc 10.5.6. if someone have this fiel please share here


thanks

hehe.. yep.. the only way is to install the coregraphics.framework from 10.5.5 DVD.. in sometime later MAYBE I'll extract the coregraphics.framework so everybody can install it without 10.5.5 DVD.. not promise..

hey Hara Taiki

i can get into the desktop of iPC 10.5.6 and xXx 10.5.6 v.1 final without installing any video driver..........

so can u please tell me how can i use the QE/CI with the Latest_NVinject.0.2.1............a guy named highjinx on irc said that i needed to use the nvcap values but he wont helped me more........i searched whole the google but wont found any way to how to get the nvcap value of my FX5500........i got the 3D and 2D timings of my card by that tool of windows named nibitor.............so can u or anyone tell me the whole process of getting QE/CI working with FX5500 256MB +10.5.6......

thanx in advance......

So far I fixed the resolution problem, but don't know how to get full QE/Ci from my card , I could not find coresgrafics. so I least my screen in no "longer crazy" how can i take a picture of my screen to show what I have in my
" about this mac " list, I know there is a way , any help will be appreciated!
my " about this mac" list says that my card is Quartz GL supported , but Quartz Extreme is not. Thanks

how you fixed that resolution problem.........???




* Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
* Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop

In Leopard, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):

* Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves
* Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
* Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point

I kinda bored telling this over and over again.. have you red this thread carefully? more specific.. have you read what I've wrote in this thread?

ya man i read ur all posts......

and i already tried that completenvkushpackage method also before reading this thread....but it wont worked for me........i guess bcoz ur GFX card is FX5200 and i want to get this on FX5500........i have 5200 also but want to run this on 5500........

someone told me that i needed to put the nvcap value in the latest nvinject 0.2.1 but the nvcap maker is not reading my .ROM file it only shows the details of donation to ARTI............

if u have another suggestion than please help......

thanx

if you're just fixing the resolution on the com.apple.Boot.plist the QE/CI won't work.. you have to install the correct driver.. try Titan or NVkush..

happy downloading for those who needs 10.5.5 coregraphic.framework ..it will only solve your "crazy" graphic / Blacked Out GUI System Preferences / what ever the name is.. It WON'T enable your QE / CI.

^^^
hey JESS Fortress

i tried coregraphics.framework from iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 but it wont helped me on that crazy graphics problem.........

Mine is from iATKOS 5i, and working fine.. I wish I had 5500 so I can help you with this.. none of my friend have 5500..

its ok man......

i'm trying to figure it out that how to use it.......if i get it working than i'll post a proper guide for this.......


BTW now i'm trying to install the retail 10.5.6.........???

so do you have idea to get it working.........???

Hi Jess,

Thanks for bundling that CoreGraphics Framework up, saved me a lot of time. One note though: it installed the items into Frameworks, one directory above the CoreGraphics.framework folder the files are supposed to go to. Moving them over it worked fine. Just wanted to make sure other people were aware.

naaa.. I'm pretty happy with iPC 10.5.6.. either on my Celeron laptop or Pentium 4 PC all working well.. ..

don't have time on downloading Boot 132 Magic CD and BOOT_FOR_HDD.. anywway.. good luck on installing the retail 10.5.6



oups.. thanks for remind me this.. I'll fix the package and reupload it then..

hey man i got the fully working QE/CI with FX5200 on xXx 10.5.6 v.2(i guess this method works on every 10.5.6 release)

here is what i did.....

1. i installed 10.5.6 release with all the required components but i wont selected the video driver...

2. than i installed the coregraphics.framework from iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 with the help of Pacifist

3. than i installed the nvkushcomplete package

4. Restart

5. VOILA i got fully working FX5200




now my 2nd aim is to get the FX5500 fully working

if i got success in that than the next aim is dual display

and the third aim is Retail 10.5.6 working........

i know someday i'll be there......

guuud luck to all........

Congratulation then.. please download here for the right coregraphics.framwork path.. so sorry all..

Hey Jess Fortress , what is the difference with this new coregraphics.framwork path. and the old one you gave us before? I noticed that the old file is 17.1 Mb , and this new one is 16.32 Mb. , in any ways , thanks for the files , I got my card now with the resolution I want , and the QE/ CI working .

Just using smallest size option when packaging the coregraphics.framework I guess.. the difference is the path from root to the coregraphics.framework, the previous one is incorrect, please read the thread written by twonine : posted Mar 26 2009, 07:03 A .. congratulation anyway..

Hi Jess
Thanks for all your help and eveyone else that contributed to this thread. I tried so many different versions and combinations of Hackintosh installs, I was beginning to think I might be sadomasicistic. Your posts were the final clue I needed. Had lots of success with Kalyway and got my install up to 10.5.5. I could install iPCx86 10.5.6 but could not get graphics to work 100%. In the end: my setup.
Asus P4P E 800 Deluxe Motherboard
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz single core
Asus 9250 video card(nvidia geforce fx 5700, I think)
1.76 gb ddr ram
1 sata 75gb HD, 2 ide 250gb HD's, 1 ide 75gb HD
on board AC97 audio
onboard Marvell ethernet.

Installed iPC OSX86 base install
9.4.0 modbin Patched Kernel
Drivers: Intel ICHx Sata driver, AC97 Audio, Skge Marvell Yukon driver. *note i left out video drivers.
Patch: CPU=1

After successful install did not reboot, I reinstalled 10.5.5 coregraphics frameworks you posted earlier and than NVkush complete package also found in this discussion.

Reboot and everything works great except for a couple of minor things:
1) Computer wants to sleep on reboot(most not all of the time. Vigorous mouse and keyboard clicking at just the right time during bootup hold the sleep but itis hit and miss). I'm using DVI set at 1680x1050@ 60htz. Anyone know and easy fix for this?
2) Screen artifacts in the toolbar when viewing control panels or Preview, only. Hmmm?

Ciao

I have the same problem as the poster above.
I installed ideneb 10.5.6 with nvdarwin for my fx5200, then followed the instructions in this thread,
installing 10.5.5 core graphics and NVKush.

Now I also have the graphics glitch only in system preferences and preview.

If I use osx86Tools to enable quartz/gl, then the graphics glitch appears everywhere on the system.


Is there a solution to fix this?

thanks

It doesn't work on iAtkos v7 Leo 10.5.7 with FX5500. I also have the graphics glitch only in system preferences and preview. Is there a solution to fix this?

u mean with iAtkos v7 FX5500 is working but with few glitches..........???

how u installed the QE/CI.......???

are they both working......???

yes
I finded drivers for nVidia GeForce FX5500 on Leopard 10.5.7
1. Delete all Geforce*.*, NVDA*.*, AppleGraphics*.*, AppleUpstream*.* files
2. Install nVIDIA Kexts from DiaboliK
http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/Installer/NVid...s-Kexts.pkg.tbz
3. Install NVKush Installer
http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/NVkush/NVkushInstaller.pkg.tgz
4. Reboot
It works... but with few glitches.

Thanks for russian guys - slice and TimeWalker from applelife.

OR...
you can install coregraphics.framework from iAtkos v5 Leo 10.5.5 and nvkushcomplete package.

in system profiler is it showing QE/CI working............???

yes, of course!
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated

koool man....

i'm going to download this right now......and tell you the results tomorrow same time.......

Hey, Amit Meena? Where are you?

check your INBOX

Corruption fix (solved) here. [edited to correct directory path]

thanks to sanya in this thread:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1009751

10.5.7 and Fx5200. Now working with QE/CI/QGL and NO corruption.

Used all the previous methods here too. The Coregraphics pkg would go through the motions, but did NOT install the older files.

Found that instead of installing the 10.5.5 Coregraphics, I had to manually copy the Versions folder from the Core pkg. Used pacifist to unarchive the pkg, renamed the Versions folder in

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions

to

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions.old

then copied the pacifist unarc'd /Versions folder to that directory.

Rebooted, no more corruption.

Hope this helps.

hey how you did that plz explain all the details like what distro r u using and also the hardware u r using........

and plz explain the versions folder which you have copied to the OS directory........

thanx......

Amit, thanks for catching the directory error. Fixed original post. more details below.

thanks to sanya in this thread:

P4 Celery on 865G MB, iAtkos v7, Fx5200.

If you have installed CoreGraphics 10.5.5 to fix the corruption issue,
it may not have installed correctly. check the dates on the files in folder:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
CoreGraphics.framework/Versions

if they aren't July 2008 versions, and instead are March 2009, then you'll need to manually copy the
/Versions folder of the CoreGraphics 10.5.5 pkg into the above directory.

Use pacifist to un-archive the CoreGraphics 10.5.5 pkg and save it.

then rename /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
CoreGraphics.framework/Versions

to

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
CoreGraphics.framework/Versions.old

then copy the CoreGraphics 10.5.5 /Versions folder into

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
CoreGraphics.framework/

Rebooted. No more corruption.

Let me know if this works for you.

hey woodchuk thanx for the guide

can you please upload all the files you have used to getting your Video card working........

please upload them to MediaFire

All the files you need are in this thread. posts 8 and 19

Hrmmm. I can simply click and rename. I did try to install the core 10.5.5 package first by double clicking
and following the installer prompts, which didn't work as described previously.

iAtkos v7, admin here too.

I used carboncopy to move everything to a less noisy drive before the renames. Perhaps that might affect change permissions?

Sorry Kolden, I don't what else could keep you from renaming that folder.

1. I used command

2. With Parted Magic Live CD I have copied CoreGraphics 10.5.5
No more corruption.

i installed iAtkos v.7 w/o any video driver but it was in a reboot loop...........

I installed iAtkos v7 Leo 10.5.7 with options:

Try to disable integrated LAN in BIOS and use other adapter. I disabled Intel LAN on my motherboard and installed Realtek 8139D - non-problem network adapter.

thanx for the PM and replying here.......

i have installed OS w/o video driver but finished with a reboot loop..........there is no sleep kernel(which worked fine here with 10.5.6) so i checked 9.5.0 kernel..........

can you suggest what was the problem.......
