zerocoolwizard Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi all, Got my GS 8400 working with full QE/CI under "ipc 10.5.6 with PPF 1/2/3/4 integrated" install. Used NVinject 0.2.1 generic during install. Out of the box i got QE/CI working with the card. All i did after is installed "GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle" with osx86 tools and reboot. All resolutions working with my x263w lcd HD monitor. See pictures attached. Download link for Driver: http://rapidshare.com/files/187870561/10.5...NVidia.zip.html not working......

CaptainJack Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I didn't have any luck using NVInject. I was using 10.5.2 without EFI installed with Leo4Allv1. I installed Leo4Allv4.1 with EFI V8 (10.5.4), EFI studio, and the 9f23 installer did the trick. I now have full resolution change and QE/CI. I have the MSI NX8400GS 256MB.

haikx Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Has anyone actually get this card work with QE/CI in 10.5.6? I have at work a xfx geforce 8400 GS 512 ID 0x042210de and well, is working and able to change resolutions but QE/CI is not. And have tried everything. First installed with Nvijnect 512... working.. but no QE/CI then removed Nvinject and used EFi String still not QE/CI. Tried also NVDarwin, NVKush and 9f23Installer and Punk92 one too, but nothing. All this in IPC OSX86 FINAL and with proper IDs in NV50Hal and NVResman and Geforce and even NVinject kexts. All worked fine even with DVI and then pluged in a CRT and had both displays working but no QE/CI. There must be a way man!. Most post claiming to work are older versions. Maybe that's the prob...

radov4n Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have 8400gs working with qe/ci under iPC 10.5.6 (in my server). All I had to do was to pick "install latest macbook drivers" (last option in video list during installation) and generate appropriate efi string in efi studio (chose 8400gs 256).

ahunter10 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have had only partial success with an Asus 8400GS. I have used OSX86 tools to install the EFI string for the card, and I successfully get CI/QE. I have not tested DVI, and have only used VGA. I am using a vanilla install of 10.5.6 with munky's boot method. I get a full list of resolutions in system preferences, but only some of them work. When I select one that doesn't work, I get only a blue screen. What makes it more interesting is that its not always the same resolutions that work. A resolution will be working fine, and I will switch to something else and switch back and it will not work anymore. I'm using a display with a native resolution of 1680x1050. The highest resolution I have gotten to work is 1600x1020, but this does not always work. Also, the display does not look very good. The text is not smooth at all, and I have no control over the color calibration. If I go into the display calibration, moving the sliders has no effect. I know it is not the display, I hooked it up to my macbook pro and everything looks great. Does anyone have any ideas? What should I try? I have tried various NVInject and NVKush patches, but nothing seems to work. Has anybody gotten this? A tutorial seems like it would be helpful for many people.

Any idea why I am having the problems I talked about in the previous post? It seems like the card is fully supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BuildSmart Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If you do DSDT injection (you have a DSDT.aml file) then you don't need a gfx string or Natit or NVkush to get fully supported video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphire78 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 hi i removed the EFI strings from com.apple.boot.plist & now i've QE/CI with NVinject woo hooo. took me three miserable weeks including a fatal crash which i somehow recovered(always backup your extensions via OSx86 tools!!!) to figure this one out... i have attached a few NVinject kexts with this - i don't remember which one worked for me - i don't even know why i installed EFI strings in the 1st place...all the very best for you QE/CI...yes, you can do it... here's how to remove the EFI strings: sudo -s [enter password when prompted] nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist This will take you to a text editor showing you the contents of your com.apple.Boot.plist. Look for these two lines: <key>device-properties</key> <string>YOUR LONG EFI STRING HERE</string> Using your arrow keys, navigate the block cursor down to each of those two lines and hit CONTROL+K on both. This will cut the corresponding line out of the script (quicker than hitting the delete button, trust me). When you're done, hit CONTROL+X and then Y, and ENTER to save the file. Now simply restart OSX, and you should boot up again without EFI strings. NVinject_Kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
