Chris_sirhC Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Im having trouble getting my nVidia 8600GT 256mb running on SL.. here's what i've tried so far and what the result has been: EFI String in Boot.plist Result: Boots and appears to work, mouse jumps around screen, everything eventually freezes and mouse starts moving opposite directions. NVInject Result: Boots to the usual 1024x768 and nothing different Natit64 Result: Boots up and screen just goes black. Never shows desktop. No KPs noticeable in -V bootup. Graphics ENabler Result: Boots to the usual 1024x768 and nothing different I'm lost at this point for where to go.. Any thing else im missing that i could try? Thanks.

EFI-Don't Work NVenabler-Don't work Silent natit work but same as nv inject! Geforce.kext and nv...-Dont Work NVinject 0.2.2 work but games like wow and warcraft 3 will not load!!! WoW says it can't open 3d acceleration and warcraft 3 says cannot open gl. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
