Yet another QE question. 9800M GT

[rup1033]

I have got ideneb 10.5.5 working on my M571TU clevo laptop. I have efi string enabled so that I get native resolution. I am unable to get Quartz Exterme hardware acceleration with any drivers that I have tried. My video card is the 9800M GT 512MB and I have edited the strings acordingly.

 

Under the hardware string in NVHAL NVRASMAN etc.. I use 0x060b10de.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Here is a copy of my system profiler for the graphics card if this will be of use.

use the installer here and use all the drivers http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132089

and then install nvdarwin.kext (select your vram size 512 MB if im right) only from here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry956868

(credits go to respective thread authors they're the geniuses not me lol)

doing this i was able to get my 9700mgts working so it should work for you

 

best of luck roadcrash1

Ok I am just now able to get on to check the forums

I just now cleared my old extentions out and installed that driver package which you linked. I have now copied the files to the desktop and am going to edit the plist files. I am wondering if perhaps I am editing the strings incorrectly in the files.

 

I noticed that strings for some of the graphics cards have at the end &0x.... am I allowed to omit that portion of the string and simply put in 0x060b10de or must I add 0x60b10de&0x....? Also what does that extra information after the vendor string do?
