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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259412-nvidia-7600-gs-gray-screen-on-boot-need-help/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259412-nvidia-7600-gs-gray-screen-on-boot-need-help/#findComment-1698230 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.
