Hi,

I've recently installed 10.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo, Gigabyte Motherboard. I've managed to get everything up and running besides hardware acceleration.

I have a GeForce 6600 installed. I can boot fine using GraphicsEnabler=Yes in Chimera, but there appears to be no hardware acceleration (i.e. stuck at 1024x768x32 res.).

To get the system to boot I had to remove all Intel and NV kexts from /System/Library/Extensions.

I'd like to know:

(1) Is this card supported by Chimera's GraphicsEnabler for HW Accel?

(2) I understand NVEnabler had support for this card, I installed with an older version of multi beast but has made no difference.. do I need to disable anything in Chimera?

(3) Do I just need to modify the existing NV kexts? If so what's the method for doing so?


Advice or links are welcome...

Thanks!
Jayson

Ok so for (2) (3) I have now tried these methods in the pinned post, to no avail. Can't for the life of me get QE/CI working.

GPU is not supported. I believe 10.6.8 32 bit mode only was the last that supported that card. The next gen was dropped after lion.

Yea the last OSx86 build I had running was 10.5 which worked fine. Ah well. I have integrated Intel graphics on my MOBO, I'll give that a go.

Thanks!

All support was drooped for your integrated GPU as well.
