GeForce 9800 GTX+ not working, stuck at 1024x768 - is this working for anyone? I know at some point in the past I had to do some editing to get it to work with SL, probably same situation for Lion but I forget how to do it....help!

Check to see if the device ID is in NVDAResman.kext. and/or NVDANV50Hal.kext. You may have to add it.

I added to NVDAN50Hal.kext but I can't see where it would go in Resman.kext - still no resolution choices. "System Information" reports the correct card, if that means anything.

 

Maybe I should just buy a new graphics card? Suggestion for a decent card that works great out of the box?

Twintech GTX 275 896mb fully working using EFI Strings from EFIStudio.

 

Only problem I have is mirroring display's but I think that this could be a Lion Bug, can anybody confirm if mirror is working for them ?

ATI Sapphire HD 4850 fully working with QE/QI enabled. Added device id into ATI4800controller.kext, installed latest ATY_Init.kext and that's all"

 

UPDATE: In DP4, you don't need ATY_Init anymore, just add the dev-id in original ati4800controller and GraphicsEnabler=Yes in bootloader

Have you got

<key>PciRoot</key>

<string>1</string> (may be different card slot number)

 

in com.apple.Boot.plist

ASUS GeForce 210 Silent 512MB works OOB. No injector/enabler, no GraphicsEnabler=xxx, no DSDT. Just works.

 

Edit: you might need GraphicsEnabler. It's weird. Chameleon RC5 903 needs GraphicsEnabler=yes, but RC5 846 (I think) that I have on my Snow Leopard 10.6.7 HDD doesn't.

 

Anyway, try it without GraphicsEnabler, if it works, great! If it doesn't just add GraphicsEnabler=Yes to com.apple.boot.plist.

thanx i´ll try it :P

I've just installed Lion DP4 on my machine and patched both the ATI4800Controller and ATIRadeonX2000 kexts by adding my dev id for my Sapphire HD4890. I also had to patch the ATIRadeonX2000 binary to get it to load (replacing a existing id with mine).

 

I got the following kexts to load:

 

ATISupport

ATI4800Controller

ATIRadeonX2000

ATIFramebuffer

 

It detects my GPU correctly and my display resolution is correct but I haven't been able to get QE/CI working. I don't know if I did the binary patching the correct way, did I miss something here?

 

Cheers

Hello All!

I'm runnin DP2 with an NVidia 7600 GS but cannot seem to enable native resolution or QE/CI. What is the best method to do so? I have tried NVEnabler.kext but it yields a gray screen after startup, and appears to not work. If anyone could help that would be great, OSx86 is not new to me, but this is the first time i have used Lion, which is seemingly trickier to modify than SL And Leopard at is point.

 

Thanks in advance!
