Hi all,

I got a NVIDIA 9600GT (1GB) and it used to work flawlessly until I recently updated OS X, Everything seems to work fine apart from when dragging windows its slow and Quick Look etc load the animations slow.

I have no graphics kexts, just working from Chameleon 2.0 RC5 build rev 702.

Anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

It's hard to say anything without more information but chances are good that you had patched nvidia driver files that were overwritten with original files by the updater.

 

Google 'guide for all nvidia boards' and follow the guide to learn how to add your video cards device ID to the appropriate nvidia kernel extensions.

Once the ID is there (but check first if it's not there already!), make sure you have GraphicsEnabler=y in your /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.

 

Of course you need to fix permissions from Terminal after modifying the driver files and before rebooting:

 

sudo -s (type your password and press enter, don't worry it's supposed to be invisible)
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R go=u-w /System/Library/Extensions
touch /System/Library/Extensions/
exit
