symbion Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi, I have a Nvidia 7600Go with 512Mo of VRAM. But the problem is it doesn't work with Natit/Titan because of 512Mo VRAM. Anybody has tested with NvidiaEFI.kext ? I will test this week but if anyone has ever tested i would like know the result. Symbion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbion you can do that by replace natit->defaults -> fboffset value , try with 0 if not work , try with different values for 256 MB fboffset looks like "fboffset" = <00000200> in ioregs for 512 MB should look like " fboffset" = <00000300> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMaX Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hey, np_ about your brand knew nvidiaEFI.kext, is this only for laptops? Or should I give it a try as well? (Geforce7600GS 512mb agp) thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayman Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 If this NvidiaEFI.kext actually works, this'd be wonderful. Makes me want to donate. Anyone who's tried it already on a 512mb card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np_ Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hey, np_ about your brand knew nvidiaEFI.kext, is this only for laptops? Or should I give it a try as well? (Geforce7600GS 512mb agp) thanx in advance is not only for laptops is for any nvidia card apple drivers support there missing is workaround for 512MB cards only and few thinks useful for future for lappies to add "laptop-panel-index" property to laptopdisplay provider that way IOBacklightDisplay class in iographics can know in witch head is internal LCD on apple machine internal LCD is always at fb index 0 but on PC can be 0 and 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMaX Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Oh thanx np_ But I don't understand the part 'bout 512MB, are you saying it has a workaround or that it is still missing a workaround for the problem? And does this kext replace the functions of all the other nvidia kexts? (geforce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext,NVDAResman.kext) I know it replaces natit/titan.

vladeco Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 NVidiaEFI 1.0.2 has just been released. It contain some bug fixes and adds experimental support for 512mb nVidias Look for it here I just tested with my Hackintosh and it didn't work =/ I placed the file into the System/Library/Extensions folder, fixed its permissions, removed the kext caches and rebooted My specs: Conroe e6600, ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, 1Gig of Ram, OSX 86 10.4.8 JaS, EVGA e-Geforce 7900 GT KO 512Mb Booting with -v shows this screen: After that last line the computer just hangs forever. If you notice, you'll see the text is very light. When the OS starts loading, and the gray apple logo appears on the screen (or a bunch of text, if I use -v mode), it looks normal, but after a few seconds, the resolution changes (or not?) and the screen that just looked fine, looks "weak" (just as if I lowered the contrast and brightness on the monitor--wich I didn't). Hope it helps. Thank you very much for your efforts, I really appreciate it =) Question: How can I make my OSX86 work again? =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a discussion on the topic of 512MB nVidia cards, yours only has 256MB. Second, that question is best suited for it's own thread. Many people will help you, just not in this discussion.
