Hi I installed 10.8 dp 2 and it see the 9800gt just fine but I have no acceletated Graphics with with Nait.kext or Nabler64.kext or GraphicsEnabled=Yes in boot
In 10.8 dp 1 and 10.7.3 all I needed was GraphicsEnabled=Yes
Anyone eles have issues with this card?

Maybe you need the latest Chameleon with Mountain Lion support:  http://www.insanelym...howtopic=231075

Make sure you select one for ML.

[CrazyELF]

Tried the Latest Chameleon and still no go..

So I've been looking in to my problem a little More and it seems the NVDANV50Hal.kext was not loading. so I look to the kext and it had no Package Contents so I grabed the one for the Base.dmg replaced it and did a discUtil Repair and now the kext loads but I get a kernel Panic.. What the hell did Apple do to Dp2 that's do diffrent fro Dp1..

I'm also having that same error, but I've found out that if I boot with -x and then reboot ... then it works.

Taruga what version of Cameleon are you using? and are you using a Geforce 9800gt 512 as well?
are you using GraphicsEnabler=yes and with what Kernel flags String? npci=0x2000?

I'm using chameleon 1820 with a GTX 260 and GraphicsEnabler, i don't use the npci flag.

[CrazyELF]

yea I've tried with -x same resualt I tired chameleon 1820 1823 all the way up to 1897 I've tried chimera 1.8 all with or without or GraphicsEnabler or Npci flags... I'm really at a loss here don't know what eles to try Think I'll just stick with Dp1 and wait and see what Dp3 is like..

I've a 8800GT, works fine in DP1. In DP2 can't even boot to install > black screen
Tried a lot, saw even once a "[AGPM Controller] unknowPlatform".

Maybe we lost support after years with the 8800GT/9800GT.

I have a GTX 260 (10de05e2)  and my smbios.plist has MacPro5,1.
AppleGraphicsPowerManagment.kext has info for it:

8800GT/9800GT are still using NVDANV50Hal.kext in DP1/DP2.  Apple removed NVDANV40G7xxx.kext, no longer support 32-bit

[CrazyELF]

I seen another post on a difrent site talk about adding Device id to NVDANV50Hal.kext, Geforce.kext and NVDAResman.kext as well to add the Word Primary in the <key>IOPCIMatch</key> String
Example on all 3 kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
            <string>0x061410de&amp;0x0000ffff</string>
I'll give that a try when i get home don't know if it will fix this Hoping for the best.

[CrazyELF]

So this didn't work still at square one

[goodbye losers]

my 8800gt works fine in dp1 and dp2 with chameleon r1820

try this in your boot.plist


<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseNvidiaROM</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>VBIOS</key>
<string>Yes</string>

and place the attached rom in your extra folder and replace the "dev-id" you have!!!




sorry for my bad english :-)

Hey goodbye losers,
when you say replace the "dev-id", Where do i change it? in the 10de_0611.rom? or in the NVDANV50Hal.kext, Geforce.kext and NVDAResman.kext?
And so I still use Kernel flags String? npci=0x2000?

[goodbye losers]

this is my plist:

all be god dammed it alctuly worked lol However I had to change my Smbois to a MacBook Pro 5,1 but I can live with that and the Fan's on the card a Quite Now!
Thanks!

[CrazyELF]

Now the bigger question is why does this Method Only work in 10.8 Dp2? And not 10.7.3 and why can't I use a Diffrent SMbios other than MacBookPro 5,1?

[eurisko1]

I have a asus en9800gt in LION 10.7.3 and ML DP2 and I have not any problem. The best way to run this card is through DSDT. See this post: http://tonymacx86.bl...a-graphics.html

[CrazyELF]

Hey eurisko1 I tried to follow the guide but either I don't know what I'm doing or it didn't work... Are you good with DSDTSE Editor? If I sent you my Current DSDT file and what ever other info you need on the card would you be able to edit it Properly?
