pandnaka Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 good luck! I have the same problem.... I have PNY Quadro FX 1300. You can check my posts. I have had no luck also, so I retired for now hoping some1 might have an answer. I guess we out of luck, well I had a Evga 7600GS, it was working, but I trade that card for the PNY Quadro FX 1400 with my friend, and this Quadro card I have doesn't do to good for my game compare to my 7600GS, I think this card for use only for work station only!!! It a shame I have 4 pci-e card not 1 of them seem to work under OSX!!! 1. ATI 1950 pro- not working 2.Asus 1650XT- not working 3.MSI geforce 6800 DT- not woking 4.PNY Quadro FX 1400 - not woking Well think it on a good side!!! I bought the cards for the Microsoft Windows, not for OSX!!! I would not mind and go out and spend maybe another 200-400 dollar for a video card that work Under OSX, if it really important that is!!! but for now I hold off on it!!!

smajli Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm almost sure there is a fix for these quadro cards. We just need the smart people to write us new kexts and direction. macvidia has a section for "QUADRO" cards but no luck yet. There is someone out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene_K Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Solution for installing PNY Quadro FX 1400 /128mb for Leopard 10.5.2 Install Apple Graphics Update 1.0 (not strongly needed but may be improve OpenGL speed) Download lastest version of Natit Move - Geforce, Natit, NVdanv40Hal & NVDAResman kexts from System/Library/Extensions to any location like /1 In Geforce, Natit, NVdanv40Hal & NVDAResman kexts you will find file info.plist. Under section <key>IOPCIMatch</key> you see string like 0xXXXXXXXX&0x0000ffff You will need add '00ce10de' (without the quotes) in the strings in Geforce, Natit, NVdanv40Hal & NVDAResman kexts. It will be like 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff Copy kexts from /1 to /System/Library/Extensions Register all this kexts ( in Terminal paste cd /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 Kextname.kext chown -R root:wheel Kextname.kext ) After - delete Extensions.mkext Restart... After restart all will be works include QE and СI Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaidogg Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 the above method works but I find that inside NVdanv40Hal & NVDAResman kexts do not have <key>IOPCIMatch</key> instead <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> so what I did was to add 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff infront of everything else eg 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce43de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce42de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce41de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce40de&0x0000ffff hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwin Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This thread was so helpful to me that I decided to write up a bullet proof summary for anyone else having problems. I also have a Quadro FX 1400 and am running Leopard 10.5.1. 01. Install "Apple Graphics Update 1.0" (not strongly needed but may be improve OpenGL speed). Download from Apple direct. 02. Download latest version of Natit, NOT the auto installer, just get the kext from the InsanelyMac forum http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Natit. 03. If you are not already set up as a root user, open Utilities > Directory Utility from the Applications folder and click the lock icon to make changes. Go to Edit > Enable Root User and reclick the lock icon and close Directory Utility when done. 04. Go to System/Library/Extensions and move the following kexts: Geforce Natit NVdanv40Hal NVDAResman ...to the desktop or other location. 05. To proceed to stage 06., right click on the first kext you want to open and select "Open package". 06. Locate the file "info.plist", open it and in the GeForce and Natit kexts search for <key>IOPCIMatch</key> and in the NVdanv40Hal and NVDAResman kexts search for <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>. Beneath these entries you will find one or more entries of a type <string>0xXXXXXXXX&0x0000ffff</string>. 07. *Add* (not replace) 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff exactly like that inside the <string> tags so that the above example line becomes <string>0xXXXXXXXX&0x0000ffff 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff</string>. Note the space seperating each entry (some kexts will already have several entries between the <string></string> tags). 08. Your kexts are modified and now need to be re-added to OSX. First, manually copy them back to /System/Library/Extensions. 09. Next, open up the Terminal application (Utilities > Terminal). Type the following and hit return at the end of each line (don't type the words in brackets): su (hit return, it will ask for your password, enter it and hit return) cd /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 Kextname.kext (kextname.kext changes for each of the four files of course) chown -R root:wheel Kextname.kext (again do this for each of the four files replacing Kextname.kext with the file name) exit Now you can quit the Terminal application. 10. Now go up a directory to /System/Library and delete the file called Extensions.mkext. OSX will generate a replacement straight away, don't worry. 11. Restart... My screen went black and I thought it had failed, in fact it loads in really fast after that and its a beautiful thing for a man to behold. Please post if you find a fault with this and I'll amend it accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joonkira Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Device Id for quadro fx 5600 is 0x019d so you should enter 0x019d instead of 0x00ce the above method worksbut I find that inside NVdanv40Hal & NVDAResman kexts do not have <key>IOPCIMatch</key> instead <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> so what I did was to add 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff infront of everything else eg 0x00ce10de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce43de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce42de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce41de&0x0000ffff 0x00ce40de&0x0000ffff hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
