9500 GT Snow Leopard 10.6 Drivers ?

Something crazy is going on in my PC. I can get video off the DVI port of the 9500GT with NVEnabler but Parallels no longer work. I did uninstall/re-install and the result is still the same. When I start the app, it pops up for a second and then just disappear. If I put my old 7900GS card back in, I am able to run it after uninstall/re-install. Very strange.

 

Does this has something to do with I don't have video on the HDMI port?

No idea. I know lots of people are having trouble with HDMI after updating to 10.5.3.

 

Parallels 5.0 works fine for me.

 

It's possible that Parallels just needs to be reinstalled to detect and work with the newer video card. Maybe deleting the configuration files will work too, if you can find them. The only thing that's important is the hard drive image you use for your virtual machine, and that stays where it is even after uninstalling Parallels, you're not going to lose anything except for the settings and stuff.

 

Let me know if uninstalling and reinstalling Parallels fixes your problem.

uninstall/re-install while the 9500 is in the system did not work. Re-installation ran through without error and it was able to detect the existing Win drive image. Somehow it seems to be crashed when Win VM is starting. Every time I tried to run Parallels, it went through the initial startup but I never see the desktop before the whole thing disappear.

I use 9500GT 512mb and fully working.

I edit my DSDT with gfx0 and my NVCAP.

This is my code

			Device (GFX0)
			{
				Name (_ADR, Zero)
				Name (_SUN, One)

				{
					Store (Package (0x16)
						{

						}, Local0)
					DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
