newstar55a Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 hey guys, i have an hp dv9700 customized bought online and it has an nvidia 8600gs 512mb card in it. i've managed to install and update to 10.6.8 using: [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] but when i restarted everythings gone like my keyboard, ethernet, trackpad, and resolution is standard. i installed some kexts and i have a working: keyboard, ethernet, trackpad. i still dont have sounds though, i have an ALC268, if someone knows how to make it work pls do help but i think this is for another thread. anyhow... so after reboot my video card is in standard and on system profile it says 3mb vram LOL. i have'nt tried any method how to make this work but ive read a lot already and its too technical and too much info and too many methods that i dont know what and where to start with. if someone could teach me step by step and the why's i should do it so i know what im doing. pls guys help me... i know a lot of you are busy and tired of noobs like me but i would really appreciate it a lot.

Mikoman Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 did you try one of the nvidia options during installation of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]? Im pretty sure it should work with such a common gpu like 8600gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newstar55a Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 first of all that was 1 of the things im wondering about bec. when i install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and look at the graphics categories, i notice there is only 1 family of cards which is ATI and thats it... no Nvidia whatsoever. anyhow... i already successfully made my own DSDT and it works... still thank you Mr. Mikoman for allocating sometime to answer. everything works now but there are some issues that im fixing like the error about hibernation and that i should use "ForceWake=yes"? this happens during the boot time. do you have any clue about this?
