XFX 8400GS 256m Dual DVI - HELP!

I've been trying to get this to work with no luck. Somehow got it to work but only CI - Software mode.

 

Tried the following injectors:Punk92 beta 3.0, NVKush, NVinstallers(v.33,.34,.41,.51,.52), Natit.

 

Tried EFIstudio and used the 8400gs 256m.

 

Tried changing NVCAP. NVCAP maker v1.4 says it should be 04000000 00000300 18000000 00000007 00000000

 

This is going on a Kalyway 10.5.2 install which I have the files for 10.5.3 or 10.5.4 if needed.

 

This system is dual hard drive so I can still work.

 

When I boot with -v it says that NVDANV50Hal is loaded but then the text blinks once and that's it. It won't go any further.

 

To be clear, this card has 2 DVI outputs (connected to monitor thru DVI to VGA adapter). I think an actual VGA on board would work but I don't need to buy another card. The 7300GT that I was using is in for warrantee repair (damn crappy fan) but it worked great.

 

Any suggestions? Need any more info?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

Use the Nvinstaller v.52 pkg.

 

You can run this even on 10.5.4 iATKOS as you will already have nvinject 0.2.1 installed for either Kalyway or iATKOS.

 

When you launch the installer choose the Vanilla option.

 

Once done, reboot and see if your card shows QE supported.

 

My XFX 8600GTS 256MB didn't work for QE until I did this.

 

Google for it or go to the site by the same name of NVinstaller and download it.
