odiedavis Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Tried with my Dell Inspiron 8600 with a GeForce 4 4200 Go. Initially dropped the kext in and it loaded fine but in System Profiler still said type was a VGA-compatible controller. Didn't notice any improvement and the CPU was grinding away. Edited the Info.plist and added my chain with device ID. Now it hangs at the logon screen So I'll reboot, overwrite the Info.plist with the initial plist from the zip and try again. Great to see some progress being made! Edit: BTW If anybody gets it to load will they please try to get 1680x1050 res? Obviously this only applies to those with a widescreen laptop (Dell) but it'd be nice to know if this res is available now.... Edit: Now I have it loading with the device id added in the Info.plist (set root to own the modded plist) but even after manually loading the kext through a terminal with success the System Profiler says "No Kext loaded". Chipset is recognized no probs... Hope I'm not disturbing w/stupid questions. I have a GeForce4 4200 Go Mobile on my Dell Latitude D800, how did u get to work the resolution, i have tried MacVidia 1.08 and the card gets recognized but no res changes (if i try that it freezes)... Got the Natit and no changes either... i can't use any other res that 1024x768 and i know max res is 1280x800 please help me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
