hi,

I just installed MAC OS X Lion DP4 on my hackintosh and all work fine ! with one exception ... my graphic card.

My GTS 250 is simply not recognized by the system (I just have a resolution of 1024x768 and impossible to change), I use Chameleon 2 RC5-r1000 to boot the system and i've tried to activate GraphicEnabler into the apple.com.boot.plist but it block the startup (just a white/black screen) I also tried the nvenabler.kext without result ( in the E/E folder or S/L/E folder ) also try the GTS 250.kext no more results

I would then know if anyone knows how to run my GTS 250 512 MB (with QE/CI) in Lion DP 4 ?

Or is it due to the fact that this is a Developers Preview or Chameleon, which is not yet ready for Lion?

thank you to those who may take some time to try to help me. ( and sorry for my bad english )

Install this kext -

Mine works without any enabler, with latest Chemeleon version. Only graphicsenabler=yes.

@javimdq Which version of Chameleon did you use ?

graphicsenabler=yes doesn't work for me - black/white screen !
(whereas under snow leopard this parameter works great)

[Javimdq]

I used RC5 r982. Also output is DVI, my card has two dual DVI only.

Hi! I'm getting the same problem since dp2. See link above.

I think this has something to do with our motherboards ( i have a p5ld2-vm ) because no one with our cards is having this kind of problem.

Is your system overclocked? Mine is, so maybe we can address the problem by removing hypothesis.

Hi,

my system isn't overclocked
I hope we can find a solution

[YoMuS]

I have found a solution. Just swap the kexts AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext from the Snow Leopard (10.6.7) and the desktop just loads fine.


I think we're gonna have to upgrade our motherboard, since it looks like they're removing support to our chipsets.

Bye!

[kazoku]

thank you YoMuS, I'll try to see if it works for me
