Anyone got CI/QE on 7800GT?

[ajr]

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' :pirate2: Most of the hardware works out of the box, sound, networking, etc...

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
