ROB_DF_MX Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 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.

styrian Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hello! Have you set GraphicsEnabler=Yes In Chameleon? Try it at the bootprompt. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB_DF_MX Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hello Styrian, Yes sure, I have enabled that option at boot time. The problem is not there, it is at recognizing the video card model and finding a correct video driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
