No screen calibration with 9800GTX+

[sheeplover]

I use to work on calibrated screens - for this I use an i1 Pro from Gretamacbeth and ColorEyes Display Pro.

 

Since I installed my new 9800GTX+ as well as the new NVidia kext from the new MacBooks I get a kernel panic each time I open up the ColorEyes Software or the LUTloader.app. Something similar happens when trying to use ColorVision or i1 Match - they terminate without giving me any reason.

 

Is there anybody else out there who has a 9800GTX or GTX+ and can test this?

 

 

=== UPDATE ===

 

Changed the card back to my 7300GT and calibration works normal. No kernel panics, no program freeze .. everything just fine.

 

Also with a 9800GTX from a different brand it crashes. Does this happen because of the new NVidia kexts or perhaps because of the cards different LUA-table??

I just installed a ECS Elitegroup 9800GFX in my badaxe2.

Changed EFI strings as followed:

and added the v2 drivers (kexts)

Everything works fine, even calibration...

 

Did you repair permissions after install?

[Denicio]

Calibration wasn't working for me either, but then i switched from my VGA port to the DVi port and it suddenly worked.

[sheeplover]

The calibration with the Spyder Software now works for me - but the results with it are far from good.

ColorEyes Display Pro still crashes immediately with a kernel panic...

 

- edit -

 

forgot to mention: I did repair rights on the kexts and my card has no VGA-port to switch to.

 

I can leave EFI-string as is and just put my 7300gt in the slot and calibration works. I think this might be something hardware-related with the 9800gtx+ cards oO
