How to Dual screen my NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE on OSX leopard? (Solved)

[Subby]

{EDIT} i got it working by useing this driver http://nvinject.free.fr/files/Latest_NVinj...0.2.1_512Mb.zip {END EDIT}

 

 

 

this is what i have in the system profiler,

 

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE:

 Chipset Model:    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE
 Type:    Display
 Bus:    PCIe
 PCIe Lane Width:    x16
 VRAM (Total):    256 MB
 Vendor:    NVIDIA (0x10de)
 Device ID:    0x01d3
 Revision ID:    0x00a1
 Displays:
VGA Display:
 Resolution:    1280 x 768 @ 60 Hz
 Depth:    32-bit Color
 Core Image:    Hardware Accelerated
 Main Display:    Yes
 Mirror:    Off
 Online:    Yes
 Quartz Extreme:    Supported
 Rotation:    Supported
Display Connector:
 Status:    No display connected

 

the card has a vga & a dvi out, the vga out works but the screen plugged in to the dvi out is just off,

 

is there a way i can extend my desktop so i can have apps open on the 2'nd screen?

 

i'm a noob to OSX & driver installs, or editing settings, so any help would be most useful in baby steps

 

thanks for your time in advance

first check:

when you press F8 (to see all spaces when spaces is enabled) do you see 4 screens or 8?

if you see 8 altho your spaces is set to 4 then that means you have a second screen enabled,

 

the only way i succeeded in activating it is by connecting the second screen and turning it on before you start your computer so in boot time it will detect it asuming your installed kext support it.

 

also check this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=35970

 

hope this helps.

hello,

I am also having problems with dual-screen on Leopard with my 7300LE. I'm currently using Natit, and I can use either my DVI or VGA port, but not both.

 

I don't quite remember, but I think I had dual-monitor working in 10.4.9 with Diabolik's natit dual 0.2.

any ideas?

[mac_admin]

i have tried 100 times and i have given up no other monitor and no sound have 7300GT

10.4.9.

10.4.3

10.4.5

natit .1 and .2 and nvinject every ver every sound patch but now i am back on windows

[Subby]

this driver worked out the box

 

http://nvinject.free.fr/files/Latest_NVinj...0.2.1_512Mb.zip

 

no editing, just installed the kext & rebooted

 

now i have 2 working screens

Do you have QE/CI working?

[kocoman]

What about 7300LE with Svideo and composite and VGA?

[Slice]

I have Gigabyte nVidia 7300LE 128Mb PCIE DVI output.

I have only one monitor but it works on any output.

 

MacOSX 10.4.9

natit-uni.1.0.pkg

 

All works fine!

QE/CI, rotations

GioFX OpenMark 920fps.

I got my ASUS 7300LE working with a modified NVinject.
