Well, back from surgery. I have a lot of catching up to do. The installer is one of my priorities, as well as my DVD release. I've been on meds that make me sleep all week. I will begin working on Beta 2 again this week, and hope to have it completed very very soon. Thanks to all who have been watching this post, and those who wished me luck on my surgery. I've now got 8 screws, and a metal plate in my leg. ( Woohoo for cybernetic aftermarket upgrades! )

Hi dev!
I'm so glad that u're working for us!

I've got a 8600M GT and both NVKush and NVinstaller v.52 works on 10.5.4 No QE/CI

I downloaded EFI Studio cause someone resolve the QE problem but...there is no 8600M GT support...

So i hope u'll do it for me and for us

Thx a lot

Hi, work great on my 8800GTS 320MB. The only probles is that is 320MB and not 640MB. I used GFX string before and only read 256MB of VRAM, but never could make it read 320MB.
What really eat my brain is not been able to use the TV/Out, it only works if I detach my monitor and turn on the PC, but when it have to load de desktop it stop working. is there any way I can fix that? I don't ask you to go and find me an answer, just give me a push in the right direction if you have an idea and I try to get things working. There are several people who have the same problem in leopard, but I could not find a solution yet. Thank you very much.

By the way, I have a Q6600 on a P5K-E and everithing working great (Kalyway 10.5.2)

I've tried your package, and now instead of the system hanging after loading nvidia stuffs, I get a message in multiple languages that says "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." even after restarting/cold booting several times. To me this seems like progress get my card to finally work, though this certainly won't do. I've got a 8800gts 320MB (MSI OC), and I selected the 8800gts option when I installed. If anyones knows if there's something I can do, your help would be appreciated. Meanwhile I'll wait for version beta 2 of this and try again...

@Panshie
I believe I read somewhere that Mac only supports 2 outputs per card, so you can either have 2 DVI outs or 1 DVI outs and 1 tv out, but you have to mess with the nvcaps and such and then I believe that the tv out ends up being the primary/first display? I may be wrong, someone with more knowledge can feel free to correct me.

If it works, then why are you asking how to enable CI/QE stuff?

[Lionzheart]

Out of desperation to make my NVIDIA 8400M G work I actually installed GFXStrings.pkg under 8500 GT. Now external display works are a long boot(7 to 8 mins). However, Internal display does not work at all...

How can I either make my internal display work or uninstall the whole package all together?

Thanks

I am sorry I have not worked on this this week. I have surgery on my leg tomorrow, and will continue to work on it a day or two after that. The next version will support over 50 cards, and should cover all the cards you all have posted IORegs for.

Wish me luck!
