Hello Forum,

 

 

 

Here Roberto from Mexico City needing some help with my Dell Laptop Hackinstosh install.

 

 

 

I own a Dell XPS M1710 which has the following main components:

 

 

 

- CPU: Intel Core 2 T7200 @ 2.00GHz ( 2 Cores ).

 

- RAM: 4GB ( 2 DDR2 SDRAM Samsung Modules ).

 

- Chipset: Mobile Intel 945PM Express.

 

- GPU: NVidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX ( with 512MB, PCI Express x16 ).

 

- Display: 17 Inches.

 

- Resolution: Max and Native Resolution of 1920x1200x32.

 

 

 

I have been successful installing a copy of Mac OS X 10.10 ( Yosemite ) on the laptop following the tutorial at Hackintosh Zone.

 

 

 

All is working fine on the laptop ( Power Off and Reset from the OS X, The DVD-ROM, the Ethernet Port, The TrackPad, A Wireless USB Mouse, USB 2.0 Ports ) except the Video and the Wi-Fi.

 

 

 

The Chameleon Boot Loader shows the following string about the NVidia card:

 

"UnKnown 512MB NV49 [10de:0297]-[1028:019b] :: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,"

 

 

 

And always boot with a generic Video Driver which is VERY SLOW and set the video resolution to 1280x1024.

 

 

 

Yosemite using the "System Information" app shows the following at the Graphics Adapter Section:

 

 

 

- Chipset Model: Unknows

 

- Type: GPU

 

- Bus: PCIe

 

- Slot: Slot-1

 

- PCIe Lane Width: x16

 

- VRAM (total): 512MB

 

- Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

 

- Device ID: 0x0297

 

- Revision ID: 0x00a1

 

- ROM Revision: 5.71.22.45.06

 

 

 

Do you know if a driver exists for my NVidia GPU on Yosemite ?

 

Or any other fix or hack I can use to have the full video speed and resolution I have on Windows ?

 

 

 

Please let me know and thanks a lot in advance.
