Hello Everyone,

                        this is the first time i am attempting to install OSX on my HP All in one, this os a c2d, 4 Gig, 500GB, gfx is nvidia 9300m, i have created a USB boot using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and also [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], tried with booth, but system boots only into a black screen.  10.9

 

I then deleted the nvdastartup.kext from /s/l/e, and i can install the os and everything seems to be working except for gfx, sound and wifi.  Lan and bluetooth work out of the box.  i just dont know how to get the graphics working with full hardware acceleration.

 

I desperately need help on how to proceed with this setup.  

 

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello all i have been working on getting my hp Touchsmart 506IQ that has the nVidia 9300m gs up and running.. i can get it up without any of the NVDA kext files but if i have them in there i get the black screen. i can VNC into it and i do see that the card is using the GForceTesla.kext and the NVDAResmonTesla.kext along with AppleHWSensor.kext and AppleMCCSControl.kext (using System Info app). could someone point me in the right direction. 

 

things i have tried but not limited to.

 

i have added the DID to the geforce and nvda kext

i have added the hex to the device props flag in the boot plist

i have tried injectors 

I have not worked with the DSDT as i am not that good with it yet and need to look into it more

if the above, were displayed on a VNC session,  you are very close to make it work.

it appears, it got the dev id ok, mean main kexts were loaded, but frame buffer was not loaded.

from experiences, not actual knowledge, i can mix fb kext from 10.8 kext with 10.10 kext.

there are lot of kexts pack for you graphics in difference site, down number of it , and try each fb kext from it.

(there people here, don't think it will work, i prove to myself i can use 8.0.61 fb with 10.0.16 kext for appleintelhdgraphics to get

qe/ci and full resolution on yosemite)


also from experience, i have use 10.8 patched kext for appleintelhdgraphics to get fully function

graphics from 10.9.0 to 10.9.4  (still using it).

you should also try, 9300 patched kext from 10.8.


before try anything else, try use disk utility to repair permissions and reboot from vnc session?

that was the last step i make 8.0.61 to load with 10.0.16 kext and get it working.

i have tried many Kext's from all diff versions but have yet to get any working. now i did try the one in the downloads NVDANV50Hal and that one did not work (it didnt even load it) i am at the moment going to try to load 10.8 osx and see if i can get everything working if so i would be happy with that. then try to upgrade from there. if i can ill back up the kext files for later use. i have had everything else on the comp working but no WIFI but i dont care as it is a desktop and well i never use the wifi on it anyway. i will report back after i am done. thanks for the reply

from Utility you can search message, see AGPM show unknown platform or  id Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

  Device ID: 0x06e9,

if id was detected, you may try to install fb kext only, (without other kexts), 

if it load to desktop with full resolution, no qe/ci.  You got the working fb.

ok so this is where i stand. i have gotten almost everything to work. but still black screen. when i VNC in i can see that i have full res and that the correct kext files are being used. but the issue stands that the output is not being put to the display. it seems that it is trying to put it to an external port (VGA, DVI, HDMI) but being this is an all in one it does not have any of them. i was about to get something on the screen with "NVdarwin" but it was the rainbow lines so i would take it that it misread the card. if i were to use NVEnabler the probe fails at the end. i am going to swap hdds and put a win os and and see if i cant extract the nvcap and use boot injection

It good news, if you see full resolution on VNC session,

can list version of both fb and qe/ci kexts ( finder get info will list lt)

goto About this mac, and system report, software, extensions ( need to wait 1 minutes or 2)

sort it by loaded Yes/No,  see what kext were loaded.

If you FB were load and QE/CI kext also loaded, means QE/CI need patched.

try this  FB with current QECI kexts (if you dev id already in it's plist).

remember to use disk utility to repair permissions before reboot.
