lizard.king Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hello. I try to use geforce 9800 gt with hdmi output. I find the nvenabler.kext, which do it, but it accelerate cooler to 100% and show me two output displays at the same time - vga and hdmi - but switch on only hdmi. Can anyone help me to change info.plist to solve this problem? P.S. Sorry for my bad eng. NVEnabler.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 hi whitch OS X? why using nvenabler? this card seems to work well only with GraphicsEnabler=Yes (see in OSx86 Wiki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard.king Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 os x 10.9 without nvenabler hdmi output not working, only vga. graphicsenabler is turning on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard.king Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 1. Where can I find lspcidrv kext? I haven't find it. 2. imac-lizard:~ lizard$ ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI\ " | grep UID | | | "_UID" = "1" IOReg & DSDT files in aattached files. My videocard have 2xDVI + SVideo slots, but when I connect DVI(videocard) to HDMI(on tv), it accelerate cooler to 100% and show me two output displays at the same time. And without this kext it show me black screen. And when I connect DVI(videocard) to VGA(on tv), it work, but image quality is bad. VGA output works without this kext. Now I use VGA output, Is this matters to creatу ioreg and dsdt? files.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I suggest you read up on NVCAP and display-cfg, both of which can be injected through either NVEnabler or Chameleon's GraphicsEnabler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard.king Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks for your files, I will look at them later. Now, for the sake of clarity and to avoid confusion, I guess you do not use VGA or HDMI output per sé, you actually use converters connected to your card's DVI ports, right? I was a bit surprised when you actually mentioned HDMI + VGA outputs as it would appear the card does not have such ports. I believe I have the exact same card as you (exact same ven id + dev id + rev id, just different ROM version) and, as indicated before, mine has 2 x DVI ports + 1 x HDTV/S-Video port. I understand you have just confirmed to have the same ports topology. Sorry for wrong explanation, my card looks like on the photo: Yes, there are 2 DVI ports on card.

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Lizard: Normally on OS X, the "primary display" output is the DVI port closest to the motherboard (when looking at the back of the case). Switch your converters if needed so that the display you want to be primary is connected to that port before you start messing with injection. Hervé: Good idea, if it works If you didn't know, GraphicsEnabler can inject both those values as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard.king Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I change slot of videocard to x16, and add patched dsdt.aml to chameleon. But nothing changes, the black screen after Apple bootlogo still arrives at dvi-to-hdmi output. dvi-to-vga works with graphicsenabler=yes and pcirootuid=1.

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 make sure you boot with option PciRoot=1 There is no such flag in the Chameleon source code..at least that I can find. http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/tree/HEAD/trunk/i386/boot2/boot.h http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/tree/HEAD/trunk/i386/libsaio/pci_root.c The proper syntax is PCIRootUID=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yes I know that's what he meant. "Option in Chameleon" I don't know what you mean by that, but as you confirm, the proper syntax for this flag is PCIRootUID. People are wasting a lot of time and reboots around here because of simple misunderstandings like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 OK I will shut up and leave you guys alone if you can show me where that flag exists in the Chameleon source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are wasting a lot of time and reboots around here because of simple misunderstandings like this one. sorry, i means option in chameleon wizard. As I said, use: GraphicsEnabler=Yes PciRoot=1. Respect the syntax and the casing, it's important. @Gringo, I respectfully regret to advise you that your are wrong on that PCI root option (not flag) point. Syntax PciRoot=xxx is fully supported by Chameleon bootloader. Maybe very early versions did not, but I have been using that since version 2.1 (or was it 2.0?). nothing changes, still black screen.

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It exists in that particular place because that's where it gets parsed when it is part of a generated device-properties string, as it always is. Which is why copying and pasting someone elses device properties string doesn't always work. Hervé, I'm not being arrogant, I'm trying to learn something. Maybe I could have worded that differently. But in the same way, I could say that you're also being arrogant in insisting that I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizard.king Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Well, I'd stick to that then. Sorry but I would not know what to do re: DVI-HDMI adapter. You confirm you no longer use NVEnabler kext? Yes, I didn't use it, because it accelerates cooler to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard.king Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Very well, I've made some minor adjustments to make the Ethernet ports visible. It looks like you have 2xRealtek GigabitEthernet LAN ports, correct? Built-in or add-on card? Patched_files.zip my motherboard have 2 built-in lan ports.(Gigabyte EP45C-DS3) nothing changes, still blackscreen. I've tried a lot of options for digital output, adding nvcap, vbios, efi strings, different nvenablers, but only with this nvenabler the system starts with digital output.

lizard.king Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 You mean patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-to-HDMI --> Blackscreen? What about patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-to-VGA or patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-only? Yes, patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-to-HDMI --> Blackscreen. patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-to-VGA --> working (without DSDT it's working too) patched DSDT + no NVenabler + DVI-only --> I can't check it, because I have no display with DVI slot.
