Commodore-Freak Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I am trying to get my PoV 9800GTX EXO to work on iDeneb 10.5.4 Release. Already tried Aquamacs gfxutil-Method, but I still can't select any different res than 1024x768. QE is not working, System Profiler says that no kext is loaded. Do the old 9800GTX patched kext not work anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Have you looked inside your Extensions folder to make sure that there is no nvkush, natit or nvinject kexts in there. If any of them are gfx string will not work. In 10.5.4 you should use the standard kexts, not the ones I uploaded for 10.5.2. Did you have your card working in 10.5.2. I am using 2 9800 GTX's in 10.5.4 and they work a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore-Freak Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Ok, i think I made a rather stupid mistake... I bootet up the system via the iDeneb DVD's bootloader. Using the bootloader on the harddisk, he does load the neccessary kexts, but they don't work. With -v i don't get error-messages, but Aqua simply doesn't launch. As i checked my kext-folder for any other NVinject or Natit-Kexts, I assume that the problem is the 10.5.2-hacked kexts instead of the original ones. So i just extract the original kexts from my iDeneb-DVD, place the 9800 nvinject kext in the kext folder, delete the cache-files, reboot and cross my fingers? Edit: Hmm, do I find the kexts on the iDeneb DVD? btw. i didn't try the card on 10.5.2, 10.5.4 is it's first release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Your best bet is GFX Strings here. Follow the walkthrough, dont use natit, nvinject or nvkush if you use the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore-Freak Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I've tried NVInject , NVKush, this NVidia Kext-Installer, the gfx-string method... I slowly REALLY run out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
