jhohisel Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is my last resort, if I cannot get my graphics working properly in Mac then I'm going back to Windows. I've so far tried tons of various EFI strings and kext files, I even tried DSDT but my NVCAP is not listed in IORegistryExplorer and the guides aren't straightforward. With everything I've tried my computer either freezes on startup or I get 5MB VRAM and unknown GPU. So unless someone can list me other things to try, I'm giving up. Thanks in advance! Graphics: XFX GeForce 9800 GTX XXX-Edition 512MB DDR3 Machine: OS X 10.6.8 SL Dell XPS 600 Pentium D 3.4GHz Dual Core 2GB (for now) PC2-5300 DDR RAM nVidia nForce 4 mobo SATA HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavendish Qi Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Have you tried this? http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/10/uni...lion-using.html And you can select the drivers for NVidia graphic cards in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. It should work fine. BTW, I finished those 2 quiz to reply this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhohisel Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thinking that lion might fix it, I tried to install it. Since I have a Pentium D 945, I must use a legacy kernel. I tried using atom kernel for lion, no reboot loop but it freezes at 'Kernel is LP64". My processor is 64-bit. Just found this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=274619 I'm going to try it now, I'll get back with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiox89 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 9800 GTX works with graphics enabler = yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhohisel Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know it should according to other posts I've seen, but it just doesn't work for me. Maybe I'm enabling it wrong. With installing chameleon 2.1 I put the org.chameleon.Boot.plist in /EFI volume and have <key>GraphicsEnabler</key><string>Yes</string>, I also have the same file in /Macintosh HD/Extra. I think it's using the one on the EFI disk but am not sure. Under system profiler -> Graphics/Displays it shows 3 MB VRAM, and doesn't say QE enabled or anything. Also youtube freezes and when I tried to take a screenshot of it, I got a blank white image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
