Hi,

I got my Point of View 8400GS 512 mb PCIe 2.0 running on 10.6.8 64 bit

So far only method that partially works is editing plist in NVDANV50Hal.
I've tried all the methods mentioned here but there is no way to get DVI and VGA work simultaneously.

   <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
    <string>y</string>                       No difference

<key>device-properties</key>
    <string>[EFI string generated with OSX Tool]</string>        No difference

NVEnabler64.kext + NVinject.kext         a lot of lines during boot ending with "Failed"

n.b. Chameleon is set up to use org.chameleon.Boot.plist so I've made all changes there instead of in com.apple.Boot.plist.

Can someone help me out here?

Have you tried setting display-cfg in NVEnabler or Chameleon?

There's also this kext which is reported as working with both outputs, it's i386 only but you can get NVCAP from it

As far as I know, I've tried every method there is. Until now I can chose either for fully working DVI or DVI + VGA without qe/ci (all resolutions). If I understand the issue correctly, my card has a different display layout.
What I probably need is a correct NVCAP not an edited kext or something like that.

PROBLEM SOLVED! it was vncap issue

Hi,

I just swapped my Point of view 8400gs with PNY 8400GS and after editing nvdan50hal.kext got it fully working after first reboot. But now it comes, after second reboot system stalls at PCI configuration begin despite npci=0x2000

any ideas?

Edit the Info.plist file, for example

sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/Contents/Info.plist

and insert the ID of your card into IOPCIPrimaryMatch key, for example

	<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
	<string>[color="#FF0000"]0x06e410de[/color] 0x011010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&amp;0xfff8ffff
0x017910de 0x018010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&amp;0xfff8ffff
0x025010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&amp;0xfff8ffff
0x031010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x05e010de&amp;0xfff8ffff
0x05f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff</string>

After saving and closing the file, repair it's permissions

sudo chown 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/Contents/Info.plist
sudo chmod 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Repeat the procedure for kext NVDANV40Hal or NVDANV50Hal, depending on your card's model, and run this command to have the kexts cache updated

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

I'm on 10.8.3 vanilla, my screen is stuck on 1280 x 1024 resolution and I get flicker and slow response when banner ads are loading or when mouse pointer hovers over the scroll bar...(CI or QE??)

I've tried to do this but my NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV40Hal.kext both don't have an info.plist file inside.  I've tried using kexts from other computers which have the info.plist but the screen signal fails during boot-up.

I've used the EFI hex code in boot.plist and that got me some recognition in the system info utility app. but it did nothing for the graphics problem.
