I'm curious how successful people have been at getting their nVIDIA laptop graphics to work fully. For example, I have full resolution support but no QE/CI under 10.5.4 despite trying just about every combination of injector and tweaking short of flashing (which I'm still not sure I even need to do).

 

If I had the option to add one more poll question to this topic, I'd ask what kexts/injector you're using. That said, please feel free to add this information in a comment - ESPECIALLY if you have everything working.

 

10.5.4

nVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M

Full Resolution

Full 512MB Memory

No QE/CI

NVinject 0.2.1

 

I'll add meaningful interpretation of the poll data to this post as it comes in.

Full Resolution (I dont know what QE/CI means...) but i suspect it is causing my computer to crash when it is using hardware acceleration.

QE/CI is a common shorthand for Quartz Extreme and Core Image. They are part of the Quartz Compositor, QE responsible for hardware acceleration and CI for non-destructive image processing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Image

 

You can see if you're using it by looking in the "Graphics/Displays" sections of the System Profiler (Go to the Apple logo in the upper left of the desktop, select "About this Mac" and click the "More Info..." button).

 

Here's what mine looks like. You can see Core Image shows "software" and Quartz Extreme shows "Not Supported". Thus, I don't have QE/CI. :(
