3Dman Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If your 8400 GS has 512 MB of memory download Latest_NVinject.0.2.1_512Mb.zip if not download Latest_NVinject.0.2.1.zip. if you find NVinject in your installation select it to make all resolution work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbell Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have 256mb so I have to download Latest_NVinject.0.2.1.zip p.s. Also you are saying if I find NVinject for 256mb in my leopard 10.5.2 installation, I don't need to download Latest_NVinject.0.2.1.zip. Thanks for all your help, I let you know how it worked out.

johnbell Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 hey 3dman thanks for all your help, I cannot get my Nvidia 8400 GS to work so I buy a ATI Radeon HD 2600pro PciE 256mb which works with different size of display but I am looking for 1680x1050 display, because I am using a sceptre LCD x22" wide screen. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwjenkins Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 hey I have this card, and it gives me tearing at any resolution higher than 1360x768. I don't know what direction to take to resolve this, but Id' like higher res. my card however only is a 256mb - I attempted EFIstudio, but I couldn't figure it out, and I reverted to my NVinject ideneb 10.5.5 video patch. I did edit it with that code from above, but I already could see the other res. in my display prefs, but tearing, like I said. Any opinions will be appreicated.
