artofware Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hey Guys, I got Mac installed on my Gigabyte Ep45-UD3P mobo. Pretty much went smooth.. Few drivers are installed but some are not. And for some reason, every time I drag a window from left to right. I get multiple shadows. I've checked the graphics displayed and it shows my Vram total of 32 MB? I'm currently running an Evga Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512mb. Is there a string or kexts file to correct this?. I also used Universal OSx86 Installer app to patch it. But did not do a thing. Heres a picture. Any help would greatly appreciate it... thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dparada78 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hmm...i have the same mobo. I have an 8800gt though. i had the same thing but got mine to work using this thread to generate my efi string...might work for 9800gt's since i think htey have the same g92 core...i assume you have tried nvinject and all that. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=91755&st=0 download the 8800gt efi pack v2 file... follow all steps...insert your string...restart. or, try this link http://aquamac.proboards106.com/index.cgi?...=509&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 9800GTX+ works with vanilla kexts in 10.5.6 - all you need is a device property string in com.apple.boot.plist. OSX86Tools has a working one built in. If running an older version of Leopard, there's an installer from Aqua-Mac somewhere on the forums that work.

artofware Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm struggling on how to get the GFx String to work. I can't seem to replace the current one. I've done all the procedure and read the all the threads on how to do it.. but still no luck. It pisses me off so bad. ahhhhhhhhhh HELP ME PLEASE.

Beerkex'd Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The problem with OSX86Tools is that it creates a new plist instead of modifying your existing one. And so you lose whatever you have in there already. Just choose the string in OSX86Tools and then select and copy it. Close OSX86Tools. Then use EFI Studio to edit your existing boot.plist. Paste your string from OSX86Tools into the editor in EFI Studio. Don't forget to hit the little save button at the bottom.. bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
