HI anybody have leopard 10.5.7 installed and Nvidia 7300 LE 512MB working with QE/CI ?
I have installed a retail Leopard DVD 10.5.2 (MB Intel DG31PR) and my nvidia 7300 LE 512MB Worked out of the box with QE/CI, but after I upgraded to 10.5.7 using combobox I've lossed QE/CI by hardware.
Hope anyone knows how to solve this.

I have two 7300 gs 512 mb in my hack and had 10.5.7 installed but it didīnt work so good. Iīd stay away from 10.5.7 if I where you, better wait for snow leopard and learn how to install it and stay with 10.5.6 the moast stable version for now.

I have 7200gs 512MB PCIe x16 which is similar to 7300 cards and was able to run it in 10.5.7 with QE/CI using CoreVidia 1.1 (previously called NVDarwin). For some reason the chipset model is reported as 7300 SE but everything works great with CoreVidia. I have tried all other drivers like NVInject, NVKush, etc. before with no success.

My cards did work too QE and all it was 10.5.7 that wasnīt so hot. Well it actually was making my computer run hotter that ever before. You can hardly hear itīs fired up under 10.5.6 even though I have the original cpu fan that came with my Q6600. Iīm using a Nvinject.kext I edited a bit, itīs uploaded here in one of my threads if somebody wanna try it out. It works with a PNY AGP 6200 256 mb videocard too.

Hi, thank you all, I will make the upgrade to 10.5.6 and try all sugestions.
Thank you
EDIT: OK problem solved now I have 7300 LE 512MB + Leopard 10.5.7 with CI/QE, only needed to delete NVKLUSH

I have a 7300GT working perfectly (QE/CI, Full resolution, dual screens etc) in 10.5.7 using NVdarwin kext. NVinject hasn't worked for me since 10.5.5 though for some reason.

Hi,
Sorry to bump this topic but any of you who has Nvidia 7300/7200 (GT,GS,LE) tried it on Snow Leopard? Does it work like how it is in Leopard?
Thank you so much.

I am having the same issue with QE/CI not working on 10.5.7, but with a 256MB 7600GT.
It was working fine with 10.5.2 kalyway, but now I have a retail install and its not working
nvinject was working on kalyway, but not now. I also tried adding an EFI string using osx86tools, but that didnt work either, and I have just tried CoreVidia, but that didnt work either
I have dual displays, and can set the resolution, just QE/CI wont work.

So, my issue was that after 10.5.7, I had some drivers that were conflicting. I followed someone else's instructions. The trick was to use these commands to remove kexts beginning with Ge and NV. Then, install 9f23 and efistudio from here:
http://scottdangel.com/blog/?page_id=20, then install the efistring for Geforce 7300 GT 256, reboot, all good.
CODE
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
Then install 9f23, efistudio
Run efistudio to install efi string.
reboot.
video goodness. vram reported correctly, gl working, qe working, ci working
