stank89 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster. I built my friend a 10.6 hackintosh in 2009, after a bunch of troubleshooting I got everything working correctly(thanks to this site). Recently he broke it somehow and instead of trying to fix it, we decided to start fresh and install 10.9. I successfully got it installed and able to boot with only a few things not working (ethernet,sound,graphics,cmos). To fix these issues, i installed the following: -DSDT for my board (GA-EP45T-UD3LR) from the downloads section -Lnx2Mac's Realtek RTL81xx v0.0.90 to get network working -AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset -FakeSMC v5.3.820 -3rd Party SATA I also installed this AppleHDA.kext to get sound working (attached below) For the life of me i cannot get full acceleration to work, and I'm stuck on 1280x1024. About my mac identifies the card correctly. I tried different nvidia injectors, GraphicsEnabler=no/yes, safe mode, and 32-bit mode but no luck. Here is my specs: Motherboard - GA-EP45T-UD3LR Video Card-Geforce 9800GTX+ 512mb (Device ID - 0x0613) Processor - Intel Quad Core Q9650 3.00GHz Ram - 8GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3 RAM I also uploaded my DSDT, smbios, chameleon.Boot.plist, and apple.Boot.plist. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, I'm losing my mind trying to get this working.

dcai777 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Try NVEnabler.kext OR BootGraphics=Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stank89 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Try NVEnabler.kext OR BootGraphics=Yes Tried both, neither had any effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Delete GeForceTesla.kext (backup kext first) Good Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stank89 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Delete GeForceTesla.kext (backup kext first) Good Hack I deleted all Geforce and ATI kexts and left GraphicsEnabler=Yes but still no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Try GraphicsEnabler=No (without GeForceTesla.kext), others nVidia kext are necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stank89 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Try GraphicsEnabler=No (without GeForceTesla.kext), others nVidia kext are necessary Ok I replaced all nvidia kexts besides tesla and did GraphicsEnabler=No My graphics now says "Display 3 MB" and my resolution has been bumped down to 1024x768 I tried to install NVEnabler, now it lists my card but changed GTX to GTK and still no acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Have you deleted NVenabler.kext? I suspect that the Mavericks might not support the nVidia 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the Mavericks might not support the nVidia 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx series Yes it doesn't change anything for me with it installed or not, I also tried NVEnabler 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You can try to generate a EFI string with EFI studio or OSX86Tools for your graphics card P.S. Your system works well with Mountain Lion, if your graphic card are not recognized by Mavericks, i suggest you install Mountain Lion Sorry for my bad english Good Hack EDIT: Try nVidia Kext from 10.9 DP8: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292483-fixed-nvidia-9400gt-1024mb-on-109-gm/?p=1953198 post #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
