I'm currently using 10.5.1 (Kalyway). QE/CI support on my 8800GTS 320MB working with NVinject. If I want to use dual monitor, would I need to install Natit? If i do, which version would I need to install? Thanks.

Success!! I GET  dual DVI w/ Nvidia 6600GT PCIe  128mb!

CI/QE
here (http://forum.osx86sc...php?f=74&t=1723)  i get  this

0400010000100003001c000000000007000000	| PowerMac G5 6600/6600LE 128Mb

I change NVCAP  to

And  Finnaly  get  DUAL DVI  works in tiger and Leopard

This worked for me with 10.4.10 on AMD X2 with Geforce 7600GT DVI/VGA out.. Now I can have dual out with DVI and VGA.  Just added it to my Extensions folder and fixed permissions. Other Nvidia and Natit kext alrady set up and working.. just no Dual output..

[hallodri]

Hello Bofors,
first of all thanks fo r your efforts! really nice work!
i'm trying to install my quadro FX3400 on leopard(Kalyway and iatkos). i tried almost every installer/kext whatever outthere, with and without adding deviceIDs.

i tried natit 001,002 and the 002 from the link in this table: (search for 3400)

here they say that it works with the natit.kext (on 10.4.8)

well, without adding any deviceIDs it works fine and recognizes my card correctly in the system profiler. but it doesnt enable QE/CI.
after adding my deviceID to "the" four files, the system stops booting with the "restart your computer" screen. with -v the last message is "nvda::start(display) <1> failed". using -x lets me delete/reinstall the kexts..
Do you have any idea what to do?

thanks a lot!
greets vince

ps: with nvinject its exactly the same problem, despite the fact that it doesnt know my graphics card and shows "nvidia video card" in system profiler

[gotoh]

for those still wondering how to have a working NVCAP for dual display, check my sig.
TV out is still bugged, due to output definitions differences in Mac and PC ROMs...

[anima322]

I use natit 0.01 and it works fine (display is not detected but well.. resolution works)

BUT!

1. Quartz Extreme is not activated (System profiler says it is but it isnt because the clock-wiget does not turn when i click on that "?"
2. GPU FAN (Graphic card ventilator) does not work! my laptop gets very hot!

please help my

i ve got a TOSHIBA P100-194
Intel Calistoga 945 chipset

256mb geforce go 7900GS 256mb

(look in signature)

[jokacross]

how I correct the file premissions and Remove the cached and packed extensions?? I'm a beginner in this thinks thanks to all

[XweAponX]

Does this work with a display as old as a Geforce MX 4000?

(Edit) - Ah, I just looked in the Wiki article, and the MX 4k is a "Non Working Board"

It's all I had that is an old PCI bus

[rundll32]

anima322, when I boot to mac os, my laptop fan does not work, but when I plug power jack, it start. try it.
and there are somewhere smal app for temperature monitoring, so have it to, it is good app to know does fan work at all.

[vindu]

running an evga nvidia geforce 6200 pci card at the moment
device id; 0x0221
vendor; nvidia (0x10de)
revision id; 0x00a1

although it's all working fine i.e. qe/ci supported/hardware accelerated + dual monitor with display output fix

running natit v0.2, in my system.log it seems to be loading the driver 3 times?
is this harmful in any way or can i just ignore it?

Dual Display is now working with my 7300GS card!!!!

It is a bit of a nightmare to find all the info you need to make this happen and it took me a while so i thought i would post up how i did it.

Ok so basically after trying every option i could I found a post with a pre-made NVCAP string for the 7300GS and I grabbed a copy of Natit Dual 0.2.

Search in google and a download will be there somewhere. I opened up the Natit Kext by clicking on show package contents and edited the Info.Plist with Text editor and copied this string in place of the existing NVCAP value: BAAAAAAACQAOAAAAAAAABwAAAAA= then saved and dropped the Kext into Kexthelper. Entered my password and let Kexthelper do its thing. It repairs permissions etc for you so no Terminal stuff if your a noob.

Re-booted, adjusted the resolutions and cailbrated each monitor. DONE!

The NVCAP string in the Info.Plist will look something like this:

    <key>NVCAP</key>
        <data>
        BAAAAAAACQAOAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=
        </data>

If you dont change the NVCAP string it wont work trust me! The string is specific to 7300GS only so dont try it with another card it could cause major problems.

Out of interest this is the NVCAP string for 7300GT

<key>NVCAP</key>
        <data>
        BAAAAAAAAwAMAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=
        </data>

Currently have it working with a 22" Samsung and a 19" Philips but im now off to buy a 2nd 22" Samsung! Will be great for Logic Audio thats for sure.

I hope this helps someone who was in the same boat as me. If you have a different Graphics card just try searching for the NVCAP in google.


Happy dual screening



PS: If you muck it all up and it wont boot try -X -V at bootloader and boot into safe mode, that way you can have another go.

[fagosu]

Hi,

I have a P4 running 10.5.5 with the Munky Method and all I had to do was to edit the NVCAP value in Natit to

04000000 00000100 02000000 00000000 00000000

And I have dual displays working with QE/CI and rotation enabled.

Thanks!!!

I�ve been running two 7300gs video cards in my hack (possible to run 4 monitors) for months now using an Nvinject.kext I edited a bit. All is enabled, got the kext uploaded to a thread in hardware/graphics cards if you search for my threads.

I can't Get My FX 5500 to work with this unless I type -x otherwise it just goes to a blank screen and a cursor I am running Kalyway 10.5.2

[deborahs]

I've got the same problem with a Radeon X1300 i've got a dual screen with the apple and after...nothing. Have you find something from that time?

[Chienly09]

I think in order to use a Nvidia card for Physx, you need to install the graphics Forceware drivers too.  So in short, you cant mix them unfortunately.  I too also want to do this because I have a spare 640MB 8800GTS lying around.

[Wilse]

I thought I'd followed this correctly but am getting:

"System extension cannot be used... Natit.kext was installed improperly.."

I NEED TO USE DVI PORT
I used all known ways;
1. GFX String way on aquamac site seem {censored} cause you need leopard to write right gfx string to use on snow. Why do i need to install 2 operating systems to use this card.
2. Graphics Enabler works on only vga and and no qe/cl.
Then i use the DSDT fix in DSDT se and now on System profiler, everything seems ok, but i still cant use dvi port. I can open iMovie but nothing written about Quartz Extreme support on System Profiler..
When i try to see Quartz Extreme status on OsX86 Tools, i see an error like this:
”Can’t make "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.windowserver, QuartzGLEnabled) does not exist" into type boolean. (-1700)”
Theres 3 output on graphic card: VGA, DVI, HDMI..
I can only use VGA

It seems that a number of Nvidia users have had problems running dual displays with the newer versions of Natit. Although I did not try all of them, I had problems too, my second display was sideways and without the mouse cursor.

Natit v0.02 works for dual displays on many Nvidia systems and it is what I am using. I am also re-posting Natit v0.01, which should work for VGA/DVI Nvidia cards, for people who have problems with v0.02 and want to try something else.

However, v0.01 and v0.02 are very similiar, v0.02 merely adds the "@0,NVMT" key and value. For more information on these key-values pairs and how these dual display versions of Natit for Nvidia was developed, see these threads:

http://forum.insanel...showtopic=31833
http://forum.insanel...showtopic=32536

Now for people who have problems, here are two general suggestions:

A. Make sure you are using a clean install of 10.4.8. People who upgrade to 10.4.8 (or mess with the Nvidia kexts) often have problems.

B. Make sure you follow these instructions (specifically removing the .kextcache and .mkext) when installing Natit (again, these instructions and the original idea of Natit are credited to Omni).

(1) Put the Natit kext in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. 

(2) Correct the file premissions: 

sudo chown -R root:wheel Natit.kext; sudo chmod -R 755 Natit.kext 

(3) Remove the cached and packed extensions: 

sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache 

(4) Reboot.

UPDATE: Natit for dual display works with Leopard (10.5) too.

but with this natit.kext v0.2 have the two displays working as a mirror,  the same image, and can´t change as extended desktop.


What can i do to get working the dual display as an extended desktop and recognize the graphics card.
