emotional friend Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I know that many people are running a more current OS. I just wanted to give support for anyone who's flat-out having problems getting their 8600 GT video card working satisfactorily after the 10.5.3 combo update. After the combo update, I had many resolutions available, but Quartz Extreme wasn't working. I ran the nvinject v.52 (http://www.mediafire.com/?kn9jpyan1gd) and chose 'vanilla' during the card selection and now it works perfectly. I also had to disable hard drive sleep in the power manager to provide stability for my system. It kept putting one of my hard drives to sleep, then it wouldn't really come back to life when needed. Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0402 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1 Displays: VGA Display: Resolution: 1400 x 1050 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected Other relevant information is that I have the LCD screen connected to the DVI and not the VGA port of the video card. Motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro Ram: 2 gb OCZ HPC Reaper dual channel mode Onboard sound: works on output, don't know if input is working Onboard USB & Firewire: USB2 works, don't know if firewire is running. Good luck! emotional friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
