2 x 7600 / 4 screen setup / QE lost after 10.5.4 update - please any help or ideas ..

[carlos228]

Hello,

 

maybe somebody can help. I lost my QE * after updating Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.4

 

My working Setup is:

 

- Gigabyte P35 - DS4 + Q6600 @ 3.4

- 2 x MSI NX7600 / passive cooled / 256 MByte

- Kalyway Leo 10.5.1 (Vanilla) + later update to 10.5.2 + Leo Graphics update

 

For the graphics I installed the NVINJECT_gfnvidia.pkg which was included in the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD.

It worked perfectly on 4 screens with 2 cards, It is just important to boot from PEG2 in BIOS

 

After updating to 10.5.4 the cards still work, but no more QE.

I tried to install a newer NVInstaller (NVinstaller v.52.pkg and NVinstaller v.51.pkg ), they work well with QE back but just with one single card (dual screen). When I try to start with 2 cards / 4 screens all the Screens keep black.

It makes no difference if I set PEG1 or PEG2 in BIOS.

 

Can anybody help me to get QE back ?

Many thanks in advance!

 

* QE = Quartz Extreme

This is probably what you're after http://nvinject.free.fr/forums/viewtopic.php?t=435. The thread is about 10.5.3 but I used the first method to fix QE after 10.5.4 broke it with my 7900GT.

thanks Garm, I tried this but no success.

 

When I change the Value to "0" after reboot the message appears:

___________

 

System extension cannot be used.

 

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext was

installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it ..

 

___________

 

If someone can see something here .. this is my NVInject.kext string:

 

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<integer>0</integer>

 

( IOProbeScore Value was 60000 by default )

Sounds like permissions are wrong for NVinject if you get info on NVinject.kext what are the permissions set at? It should be;

system : Read & Write

wheel : Read Only

everyone : Read Only

 

Have you tried loading with -v -f at the Darwin bootloader?

[carlos228]

Garm, you are the man !!

 

I did repair permissions with the disk utility before , but now I tried your code, reboot -v -f and now it works !!

 

Many thanks!

 

I will write a short tutorial for update Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 with 2 Graphiccards soon.
