Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting CI/QE running on my 7800GT, I've done a search and found a few success stories but no details, I was wondering if anyone can suggest any pointers...!

My hardware:

• Asus A8N-SLI
  
• AMD 3800 x2
  
• BFG nVidia 7800GT
  
• 250Gb PATA HDD

I installed using 'JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3' Most of the hardware works out of the box, sound, networking, etc...

hostaname:~ root# uname -a
Darwin hostname.config 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec  9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

I've grabbed all the different versions of Natit/Titan/Neo's installer which gives me native resolution, but no QE  

hostaname:~ root# dmesg
...

I've tried putting my vendor ID (0092) into the NVDANV40Hal and NVDAResman kexts, the GeForce.kext initially wasn't on my system, so I grabbed it off my install CD using Pacifist and edited that also...

...no CI/QE.

Any suggestions?!!

Got it working!!! Used the 'Nvidia 10.4.8 Accelerated Kexts' torrent on   oid!!!

My JaS install DVD didn't include all the supporting files.

ajr, thanks for the post.  I had a JAS disc which also was not including all the necessary files upon install.  Only difference for me was that I did not download the acelerated kext file but rather restored the missing kext files from my backup extensions folder.  Why they were in there I dont know.  The offending files were...

geforce2mxgldriver.bundle
geforce3gldriver.bundle
geforcefxgldriver.bundle
geforcevadriver.bundle
geforcega.plugin

I had already restored geforce.kext from my backup extensions folder but had been getting nowhere with any of the installers or manual install no matter what version of natit I chose.  Anyway thanks

BTW I run a 7600GT
