aeronauticsrock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have a newb question... Is this an actual installer for the card? Or just for QE/CI? Will this allow the card to work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playfullyrastadoul Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have a newb question... Is this an actual installer for the card? Or just for QE/CI? Will this allow the card to work? Thanks! actually (in my case) it activates the card. with this i could choose all resolution but had no QE/CI. i think it can be fixed by change the device id in the kext. but for me this works only if i had installed no drivers. i tried with kush, and i had blue screen.

waleryy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 will this work on 10.4.6 - GeForce FX5500 128 MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigRiches Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well this might seem a bit of a stupid question, but I am brand new to this world. How do you remove the AGPGart.kext from the /System/Library/Extensions folder? I simply cannot get my graphics card working (NVidia GeForce FX5500 (AGP Version, 256MB)). I'm trying everything, but I'm getting in a major tangle with evrything I'm trying to get it to work. The installers do install but the description in the Graphics/Display section of "About My Mac" is still showing an incorrect card. Can somebody produce like a dummies guide to getting the NVidia GeForce FX5500 working, please? By the way, I am using 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard), if that helps in any way. Any help and solutions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks very much, Craig Riches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADHDMedia Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 waz up guys!!! GOOD NEWS FOR NVIDIA FX USERS!! I manage how to enable QE/CI with FX5500 256MB and so I made a little installer to make things easier. It may work on other FX'ses cards just by changing the device ID on kexts NVDAResman, GeForce and NVDANV30Hal. If you don't know how to change DeviceID, look at the forum or PM me. It's a very easy job. About the installer, uncompress all files on your MacOS partition root (directly on macos drive, inside any folder), open terminal and type: sudo -s (type your password - you will not see the caracters while you type for protection. Just type your password and press enter) ./install.sh wait until the script do all the job and then reboot your computer! Now you should be abble to enjoy QE/CI with your FX card! if something goes wrong, you can restore back to your original form. Just enter on single user mode (when macos starts booting, press F8 and then boot using "-s" parameter - without quotes) when it finish booting, type: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / ./uninstall thants right! HAVE FUN! PS: I'm not responsible for any data loss or damage to your MacOS system. I made this installer without ANY GUARANTEE!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Hello All: I'm using a GeForce FX 5500 PCI card in a Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop. I'm running OSX 10.5.7. I have followed this tutorial and am now able to switch resolutions for my card. I also installed NVInject.kext, which shows in the system profiler that it's loaded for my card. The problem is no matter what I do I cannot get QE/CI working. My main goal with this hackintosh was to be able to run FCP, and I can't do it with no QE/CI. If there's anything I'm doing wrong, or any suggestions anyone can offer to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Here's my system profiler: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0326 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1 Displays: Acer X223W: Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-Bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported QuartzGL: Supported Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected Thanks in advance, this forum is awesome!!!
