Hello again,

I'm back from the last owns experiments...for now, no good news!

About the Graphic Card, I've reinstalled Chamelon, replaced the old with Chamelon 2 RC5pre8, after this I've installed Lizard for to edit the file

com.apple.Boot.plist but when I've launched it I've seen that it don't could to locate the file com.apple.boot.plist, in every case, I've

forced the Graphic Injection from Lizard, and saved...but still nothing!

 

I've two of this files, one in /Extra/ and one in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ !

The code of the first (generated from Lizard) is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>

<string>1</string>
<key>Rescan</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>SMBIOS</key>
<string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

The code of the second (that was in the system from the original dvd installation) is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</dict>
</plist>

 

 

And also for the file smbios.plist I've two files, in the same places!

 

In few threads I've read that is much important that the system recognize correctly the video cards, and that his ID must to be inserted in the follows files:

NVDANV50Hal.kext

NVDAResman.kext

NVDANV40Hal.kext

 

The ID of my Nvidia Geforce 9800GT is 0x061410de (DeviceID: 0x0614 - ProductID: 0x10de) I've inserted this string in the previous files.

I've copyed the kexts on the desktop, maked a backup copy, maked the edits, copyed the edited ones back, runned the Terminal.app and fixed the permissions:

sudo -s (and your password)
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R go=u-w /System/Library/Extensions
touch /System/Library/Extensions/

 

I've reboot the system but when I check the video card acceleration, don't work.

For check if Quartz Extreme is enabled, from the terminal I've used this commands:

 

sudo -s
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver GLCompositor

 

If it is enabled, I should read:

 

{tileHeight = 256; tileWidth = 256; }/

 

Unfortunately I get this:

The domain/default pair of (com.apple.windowserver, GLCompositor) does not exist

 

so from the terminal I've typed this command:

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver GLCompositor -dict tileHeight -int 256 tileWidth -int 256

 

and after the reebot or the command:

kill `ps ax | grep loginwindow | grep -v grep | sed -e 's/[[:blank:]]*//' | sed -e 's/[[:blank:]].*//'`/code]

if I check from the terminal the Quartz, I read this:
[code]
{
tileHeight = 256;
tileWidth = 256;
}

 

..seem ok!But don't work!

 

I've tried also installing "OSx86 Tools Utility" but when I push on "Enable/Disable Quartz GL" the program show a window with this message:

 

"Can’t make "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.windowserver, QuartzGLEnabled) does not exist" into type boolean. (-1700)"

 

...strange!

 

 

Suggestions?

 

I apologize for the bad form of the post, I don't know as to resize the "codes"!

 

All the best, D.

Again here....this night I have copyed for error a old version of the SleepEnabler.kext on my OSX 10.6.4, so I got a kernel panic message at the os startup!

I had installed the kext of my Gigabyte EX58-UD5 downloaded from this guide but I got every time a kernel panic message, also after removed the sleepenabler.kext so I've removed whole Gigabyte's kexts that I had copyed, and the OSX is back to run properly!

Unfortunately the Nvidia 9800GT QE is still a problem, like the Optical Unit Pioneer that I can't to mount!

 

Any suggestion is appreciated!

 

 

All the best, D.

Hello again :D ,

I understood the problem about the Optical Unit Pioneer, from the Bios of the mobo I've selected the AHCI Mode, like this picture:

Integrated-Peripherals.gif

the unic problem is that in this modality, the Windows OS in the other HD don't run!

Now the Pioneer is available but still problems with the QE in the 9800GT.

 

All the best, D.

Hello...I've installed again the distro, and now the video card and the optical unit, works fine!

I reply again this 3d, not for my egocentrism, but for the mates that could to get a similar problems, I think that the goal of the forum is this.

I've changed the bios settings, looking from this 3d, this and this.

I must only to do something for to force the system of to recognize correctly the ram and the cpu, I've found this discussion that seem to be very interested; I'll let you know the results in the next hours.

Thanks in every case.

 

All the best, D.
