Hi there!

i don't know if this is the right place for the topic.
i also did use the search and couldn't find a good anser to this.


I got OS 10.4.6 jas image up and running.

I Installed the MacVidia 1.0.8 drivers so that my grafik card was recognized worked fine, can run any solution.
laptop is a dell Insprion 8600

However i can't play video (dvd) files neither with the apple dvd player nor VLC player.
I tried World of Warcraft and Warcraft III both won't work.
Seams like it couldN#t load the opengl drivers (?)
in the System Profiler it says



NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650:

  Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650
  Type: Display
  Bus: PCI
  VRAM (Total): 128 MB
  Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
  Device ID: 0x031b
  Revision ID: 0x00a1
  Displays:

  Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
  Depth: 32-bit Color
  Core Image: Not Supported
  Main Display: Yes
  Mirror: Off
  Online: Yes
  Quartz Extreme: Not Supported



my question -

Is there a driver i'm missing ? is there anyone at all?
or is my grafik card not able to play the games?
What has Quartz Extreme to do with opengl ?
Sorry but i don't understand the problem quite well.
The grafik card is recognized but not the things it can do ????


Thank you for any hint.

and all of you have a happy new year

greetings

Well, I think you may have more luck by upgrading to 10.4.8 (search the forums for clues if you have an SSE2 processor) and using Titan. Thats where I would start....

silverriver,

i have the 5600, so the cards are almost exactly the same.  i am in the exact same position.  allow me to give you some advice.  JaS will be releasing his SSE2 10.4.8 DVD very soon (today or tomorrow) and this will be where you need to begin.  this is a dramatic improvement over everything else because it uses new kernels thanks to the hard work of a lot of people like semthex.  then, you can use Titan / Natit to get complete support and QE/CI.  Check in the forums for links.  Heres a few good ones im looking at.

http://forum.insanel...showtopic=36480    For this link, begin reading on the NVIDIA part.  dont worry about the first part as the JaS dvd will be different.

http://forum.insanel...showtopic=36435   This is also a good easy option that may work.  talk to prasys.

if you need any help, pm me...i will be moving over to these as well.
