You have the same device id as me so no need to add anything to the kexts.

Try using chameleon wizard and set SMBIOS to macmini4,1 or imac12,2
I remember booting to a black screen when I changed that to MacPro.

I am not using ML atm as my 7750 does not work properly without the 10.8.3 so now i have got an extra GFX the GT210 which I want to make it work in Lion 10.7.4, I got it working in SL but now again SL is mis-behaving.

So I need to enable the GT210 in Lion . I changed it to iMac 12.2 but no qe/ci or resolution change. I am going to be reinstalling Lion tomorrow as its 1 a.m. here.

iFire,

I reinstalled and did everything you said and also used the Extra you sent, but still nothing, I can just not use GE=Yes as the screen after boot up and at the login goes blank, so I reinstalled again used your extra did not change anything in the kexts. and used the EFI string and I got full resolution and I can change the resolutions too, but I don't have any acceleration nor i have the second display working.  

Do you need more of those dumps and I shall send you the Nvidia kexts from my system,

[iFIRE]

yes send me full report DWDumper and NVidia kexts

[TheMentalist]

Will do but in 3-4 hrs. as I am @work.

[TheMentalist]

Which Nvidia kexts do you want me to send you, as there are quite a few of them and the compressed file size goes above 30 mb.

This is the Darwin Dump. This is without EFI string and GE. So GE=No.

I have also managed to start ML installation on the same card, I used the EFI string + GE=No + PCIRootUID=1 so I did go to the installation window and it is installing with the proper 1600x900 resolution.  I am making my second system which an Athlon x3 445 as a HTPC, so I am trying out all the things on the other AMD system which is a 960T Phenom.

now load the NVdia kexts, but you not have QE/CI, try this command Terminal for see your correct PCIRootUID= ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI" | grep "_UID"  and  use GraphicsEnabler=No because you card is inject in DSDT, now send me a new ioreg

Which Nvidia kexts do I load ?   The thing is if I remove the EFI string my resolution drops back, and of course as I mentioned earlier GE=Yes gives me a blank screen after bootup, ok then no GE=yes only GE=No . Do you want me to put the EFI string back in chameleon boot ?

ETA ten mins.  This is for Lion

ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI" | grep "_UID"   gave nothing

install the kext lspci.kext for output from terminal, and yes the efi string can help


try install this kext, you need the correct PCIRootUID in the boot.plist and GE=No

lspci.kext , hmm is this is the one in /Extra/RemovedExtensions ? if that's the one I am reinstalling it and putting in the EFI string back and sending you a new ioreg. std by.


installed lspci pkg from osx86.net,  ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI" | grep "_UID"  still blank but ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI" does show output.

NVEnabler 64 kaput, blank screen , so just moved it away.  BTW is it because of the OS not finding the correct PCI slot for the GT210 it goes blank ?  I have a DSDT which contains my HD 7750 and the same thing happens in ML with my Radeon HD 7750.

Installed the given lspcidrv kext and rebooted but yet nothing.

[iFIRE]

you have make a Efistring or have copy one from other card ? now this show correct in your ioreg, show NVCAP and NVPM, I go inject the NVCAP in DSDT for test if this work.

try this code if no output not load the kext, try repairPermission with Disk Utility, than with KW, reboot



sudo lspci -nn

sudo kextstat -l

EDIT: the package fail,install the kext what I post

sorry did not understand.

Do you want the EFI string ? and how do I inject NVCAP in the DSDT , do you mean I you want the current DSDT ?

I am just thinking could this be also an issue due to the AMD kernel ?

I can see it is loading these kexts.

[iFIRE]

the kext lspci is working, try the command PCIRootUID, and I ask if you have add a efi in the boot.plist or not

[TheMentalist]

Yes sir I do have the EFI string in the boot.plist.

I hope you mean that I should try PCIRootUID=0 or 1 or 2 in the boot flags , am I correct ?

PCIRootUID=0 no qe/ci.

Going to try PCIRootUID=1 all these are with GE=No.

Nope 0 or 1 does not work. Let me try with the NVenabler 64 and play with the PCIroot. please std by.

[iFIRE]

try this please and see your , in ioreg this display 1

try put your kernel in 32 bits, I  don`t have more ideas, the AMD machines have some problems with graphics
