MacUser2525 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey guys i know first post So tonight i installed Iaktos 4.0 version with 10.5.4 version and evrything is workin fine expect osound which i got to work on my P35-DS3L however my problem is that my 8800gt works but it is not offering hardware accrleation only software for my screen which certain things run slow My 8800gt is an xfx G92 512 mb version Any help would be apprecited on this topic Sry about my spelling its midnight in aussie and im still up lol Try my Boot.plist file I have attached it uses an EFI string to the get card working I used it with my old board which is the same as your present one. It is set up to boot in text mode you can change this by opening the file in textedit and removing the -v in the kernel flags section as well it has a 5 second timeout before booting that you can disable by removing the two lines starting with the timeout plus the 5 line below it. Now for this to work you need to replace the original file by opening the terminal application in the Applications -> Utilities folder and doing this. sudo -s Type in the password you set on install then. mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist.original cp /path/to/unziped/download/Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist chown 0:0 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist chmod 755 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Now you need to determine which driver you have in use then disable/remove it with something like this if using the NV Inject. mv /System/Library/Extensions/NVInject.kext /System/Library/Extensions/NVInject.kext.backup rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/Caches rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm -r /System/Library/Caches diskutil repairPermissions / Then you would need to reboot if you left my file as is then use the hit any key option when the boot menu appears and type in -f and hit the enter key to boot if you removed the lines in my file hit the F8 to get the menu, when the machine boots the -f forces the reload of all .kext files and rebuilds the Caches. If all went well then you should have your CI/QE working with hardware instead of software acceleration once you get this setup you should not have to mess with it again by upgrading/installing any other .kext like the NV Inject. com.apple.Boot.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmelv7 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 ok the first command isnt working can i manually copy it over and replace it also do i need it change it to my disk or anything like that and wat does the second comand do Can i screw it up by using this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ok the first command isnt working can i manually copy it over and replace it also do i need it change it to my disk or anything like that and wat does the second comand do Can i screw it up by using this Do you mean the sudo -s does not work in a terminal if so can you copy and paste the command and error you get?? Not really any way to screw it up either the string is going to work or it will be ignored now this assumes that your machine will boot in vesa mode without any drivers loaded like it should with just basic graphics enabled.

rmelv7 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 sy the suod -s works fine then when i copy and paste the mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist.original cp /path/to/unziped/download/Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist chown 0:0 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist chmod 755 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist i get the error that says no such file or directory on the cp/path line thanks for the contuined help as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 cp /path/to/unziped/download/Boot.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist i get the error that says no such file or directory on the cp/path line thanks for the contuined help as well This part /path/to/unziped/download/Boot.plist is to be replaced with where you downloaded the file too if you let it download to your default Downloads directory and unzipped by clicking on it then in my case with a user name of MacUser2525 I would use cp /Users/MacUser2525/Downloads/com.apple.Boot.plist for the first part of the line you would change the MacUser2525 part of this with your user name you set during install.

If all went well then you should have your CI/QE working with hardware instead of software acceleration once you get this setup you should not have to mess with it again by upgrading/installing any other .kext like the NV Inject. Now in addition to this I don't know that you are using the NVInject.kext (Do you even know which you are using right now??) so that part can change. Edit: If you show me the output of. ls -l /System/Library/Extensions/NV* I can tell if you are using the NVInject.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacUser2525 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 lol yes like a charm aperture works visuylaers work now games soon lol u rock Thats good I knew there was no reason for it not too that was the same combination of hardware I had until a couple of weeks ago. If you want you can completely remove the nvinject with. rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext.backup As root using the sudo -s or you can leave it there it won't harm anything and if you go the boot menu coming up every time with a text boot then you can edit the .plist again as root and remove the lines I suggested like. nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Once you have completed the edit the CTRL + O keys at the same time will write it out when the file name comes up in the dialog at the bottom hit the enter key then CTRL + X to exit saving the changes the new settings will be used on the next boot. The lines I speak of. <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> Remove just the -v to stop text boot the next two lines can be removed to stop the 5 second wait which brings up the boot menu.
