lionsnob Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi all - I hope someone can help me with this - I've been pulling my hair out! There are two things that I have left to do on my hackintosh. One is get it to boot without the 132 disk in the drive, the other is to get my video card working. The video card is a Zotac nvidia 7200GS, although lspci reports it as a 7300SE. The card has 128MB RAM, but System Profiler says it has 512MB. I can't get any of the drivers to work. I've tried nvinstaller52, nvkush, and various versions of nvinject. I'm running 10.5.4 from the retail disk and my motherboard is an Intel DP31PR. There's no way that I can see to disable the onboard video, if that matters. There is nothing hooked up to the onboard video anyway. Any suggestions? My assumption is that I install the .kext into the extensions folder and when the card is recognized, system profiler will mark it as being QE enabled. Is this a correct assumption? Please bear with me, I'm still new at this! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan McGinn-Combs Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Howdy! I notice you have the same problem (and motherboard!) as I do. I'm currently looking for a solution as well. I'll let you know what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan McGinn-Combs Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ok - got the eVGA GeForce 7200GS fully working. Here's what I did. 1) Install using Leo4All v3 (10.5.2 - Vanila 9.2.2 kernel) 1a) Added the NVInject during the install. I'm not sure that's entirely necessary. 2) Move the NVInject to /backup directory and reboot -- this got me to a none anything screen -- 3) Download and install NVKush Installer and NVidia Kext Installer 4) I took a look at some of the files, but nothing screamed "edit me!" 5) Cross Fingers 6) Reboot. It worked just fine and both QE/CI are enabled and I can set the resolution. It also recognizes my monitor. Is is a tiny bit annoying in that it says "I can has model?" at the top. I s'pose that means that I need to connect to the IRC channel and let someone know the model of the card. -- Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
