lifi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Were there any new drivers for graphics, sounds or wireless added? Is it possible that through the new OS some new cards can be run smoothly? Which kinds of graphic cards on notebooks are supported at the moment? Since 8800 has been patched properly, is it possible, that 8700M is also working now? And, does anyone have any clue, about nVidia releasing new graphics cards, like 8800M?

TsubakiSama Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 My 8800GTS 320mb for example shows up as 256mb QE/CI activated and I can even change resolutions with my VGA screen which I could not in Tiger and with mac.nubs 8800 series installer . This card works perfectly out of box. EDIT : After I've installed the latest NVinject 1.1 even my ram shows up as 320mb now so the card works perfect now!

Mysticus C* Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 anything about ati hd 2900 xt? coz i was not able to run the driver on tiger due to nforce chipset causing kernel problem... maybe, i dunno but it always failed to run the loginwindow (only 10.4.8 was runnin ok but ati2000 dont run on it)... so dont know the real issue... i gave up on tiger on my system, hope the patched new kernel can work in my asus p5n32-e sli board (nforce 680i chipset) if it can boot right, than i would have a chance to try the ati2000 kext files maybe? what do you think cyclone?

dragossh Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have a Radeon 9600, and I can't get QE/CI in Leopard. I've tried Katana with the latest Callisto, and I still don't have QE/CI. I've also tried Tiger's ATI kexts, same result. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also tried Tiger's ATI kexts, same result. Can anyone help? According to FarmerBob here, 9200 works out of the box, but only in 9A559. Maybe u could try that. I'm downloading that right now. U can get install guides for 9A559 here and here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zam Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 TsubakiSama: I was wondering if the 8800 works even better than 7000-series, does your Spaces -zoom effect show tearing and vsync problems? My 7900GT with NVinject does... And what about expose, is it always silky smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojeebees Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Leopard seems to have full support for Nvidia 8800 cards!!! Check this out: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?...;p=16747#p16219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenFlu Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Interesting. I wonder why it isn't working I hope that somebody will release a fix, Leopard doesn't feel so polished without QE/CI. I'm grateful its working in 559. I'm running Tiger without full OpenGL & QE/CI. And its still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I haven't been able to get the patched dvd to work yet, but I do have a PC with a 2900XT 1GB card and a macbook pro with Leopard 9a581 running on it. Leopard does have the deviceIDs 0x94001002 0x94011002 0x94021002 0x94031002 0x95811002 0x95831002 0x95881002 0x94c81002 0x94c91002 where the bold one is the deviceID of my 2900XT in my PC. I hope I can get a copy of Leopard to work on my PC so I can try it out, but so far, no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
