abkratch Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hello insanelymac! I am having quote a bit of trouble enabling full resolution and QE CI on an nvidia gefore 7600... I am running Lion dp2 and can boot without native resolution, but if I install NVenabler.kext, or flag graphics enabler=yes on startup, all I see is a solid gray screen with no cursor. It stays like that and does not continue. Is there any known solution to this problem at the moment? I am running Chameleon RC5 as my boot loader. Thanks! abkratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! abkratch Delete NVEnabler.kext and try with Natit.kext. That worked for me. I have nVidia GeForce 8600 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ririholic Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 No dice. Put DSDT in Lion partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Isn't Lion 64-bit only? I have no idea really. If so you can't use a 7xxx series card, there are no 64-bit drivers for those since 10.6.3. Unless that has somehow magically changed with Lion but that wouldn't make much sense from a business standpoint. As far as I know, all 7xxx cards and earlier (for Mac) have 32-bit EFI firmware only so it would make no sense for nvidia or Apple to provide 64-bit drivers for them. That is, if I'm understanding correctly how it works. If Lion is not 64-bit only, then you are in luck, all you need to do is boot it in 32-bit kernel and drivers mode.
