Nvidia G92 (8800GT) support in 10.5.2

[cyclonefr]

Ok the new kexts + OpenGL.framework are useless for now, trust me I tried those on my 8800GTS (G80, the one that works).

I lost QE/CI but framebuffer was still working. So I put back old OGL.Framework and I got QE/CI back with some opengl bugs (because I didn't have the new one).

 

So anyway, you need other files (maybe kernel, I don't know) to make them properly work, the whole 10.5.2 package, so just wait for the final package to be released, since having a Beta Software isn't that good IMO.

 

Though gotoh you can still add those vendor id to nvinject so when 10.5.2 final package is out, G92 users can try it quickly

 

Oh btw, not only does it add G92 support, but G98 support (the new "low end" geforce that will replace 8600).

I just got myself a 7900GS. Time to sell my 7900GS I guess?

[cyclonefr]

7900GS is old but already works.

Not unless you intend on playing DX10 games. The 7900 GS can overclock like a breeze though, 30-40% gains on BOTH the desktop and mobile version of the card

hey, but can the kext be used in tiger or need to be in leopard? or both?

[macgirl]

If they need thing from a new kernel I doubt it could work on Tiger, but making a test does not hurt.

has anyone installed the full beta 10.5.2 and tried the 8800GT?

 

i am curious....

has anyone installed the full beta 10.5.2 and tried the 8800GT?

If somebody could send it to me. That would be really cool.

I search the new kext to test my video card. But no result.

Again the kexts are useless without the whole package. This WON'T WORK.

[alexcooltranquille]

Thanks Nuphor, but as cyclonefr said it, This WON'T WORK withour the full package, but I test it, all the same.

I've done a full install using the mach_sleep kernel and everything is working as normal. Using just a few of the kexts will result in no QE/CI but you can use resolution switching. May be enough to get some early preliminary tests. Good signs for those with G92 cards though.

[cyclonefr]

You get resolution switching, true but it's slow as hell without QE/CI but still it may be worth trying because if resolution swtiching works, then i'm pretty sure everything will 100% work with the full package.

 

But anyway, if you aren't using GFX-string from PC-efi, you will need natit/nvinject to inject the "nvidia efi values" and thus gotoh or somebody else need to add the vendor id to his nvinject. The kexts won't work at all without natit, that's for sure.

ooh! 0x060010de is 8800GTS 512. Me happy

[Korrupted]

The full package includes OpenGL.framework, right? Could someone upload the new 10.5.2 one?

[cyclonefr]

did you guys read my post before ? even with NEW OGL, you won't get QE/CI on OLD nvidia cards so OBVIOUSLY we need other files, and I think it's just easier to wait for the final package so we don't install beta files...

[cyclonefr]

Ok this has been confirmed, G92 works with 10.5.2 We did some tests with Azurael, full QE/CI etc

[Dense]

Need to get fresh tests of the 8600s too. I'm betting they work too.

I linked to this also, see my earlier post.

[Azurael]

G84 + G92 tested:

[Nuphor]

Azurael, I'm assuming that is with 10.5.2 and not just 10.5.1 with some 10.5.2 kexts?

[Azurael]

Nope, 10.5.1 w/10.5.2 kexts

[Nuphor]

Sweet. Any additional ones than the ones I linked to? Anything else we should know? What about NVinject - are you using 0.17 or 0.13 with some changes? I just got back and am about to try them.

[cyclonefr]

Actually 10.5.2 kexts work fine with G84/G92, although they won't with OLD nvidia cards... So you can put them on 10.5.1 and enjoy qe/ci

[Nuphor]

Good news

 

Just copied the new kexts/framework over and popped in NVinject, seems to panic right towards the end of boot though (right when NVinject starts matching). Booting verbose sees no panic but it stalls, so I guess I need to play with NVinject. Any pointers? I've never used it before. From reading about I understand that I don't need to add any devid's to plists or anything, all I need to do is set the VRAM to 512MB (<00000020>).
