gonzo.damn Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If i install the new nVidia drivers from apple's OS X 10.5.5 and add my graphics card ID to them (nVidia GeForce 7150M [MCP67M])... will it enable QE/CI??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 No, all models with X050, X100 and X150 and X200 are integrated to the chipset and are not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo.damn Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 But the new macbooks have integrated graphics and are supported..... so, in theory, other integrated chips must work...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denicio Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 But the new macbooks have integrated graphics and are supported..... so, in theory, other integrated chips must work...right? I think the ones on the MacBooks have dedicated memory modules, while the one you are talking about has shared memory. That's the main problem.

gonzo.damn Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 wait....in apple's page it says shared memory on new non-pro macbooks.....i'm pretty sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That's true that 9400 has shared memory, however it's a rather particular chip and I doubt that apple made a backward compatible or "universal" driver. However it doesn't hurt to test, you'd need the latest kexts that are available on the macbook update. You can find it in my sticky geforce installation thread.

JFL1800 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have a geforce 7000M using my acer 4520 laptop. Manage to install 10.5.5 and trying hard to get QE/CI working. GFX string + latest geforce and NV kext from 10.5.5 just froze my screen. Any other people trying and found any solution please share. I update my 10.5.4 using patch 10.5.5 update by leo4all and then inject gfx string using the os86tool but no avail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFL1800 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have downloaded the NV drivers for 9000 series as posted in one of the threads(forgot which one, but should be the latest kext which is extracted from the macbook update) And change the dev id in geforce.kext, NVResman.kext and NVDNV40HAL.kext as well as change the probescore to 0. Inserted EFIstring into the com.boot.plist. But to no avail. Not sure whether the NVCAP value is correct or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
