NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900gs in Leopard 10.5.1

So I have an Alienware m9700 laptop. This thing has 2 x GeForce Go 7900gs PCIe cards, in SLi. Currently it seems that I've got them installed...sort of. In system profiler, I've got 2 of this:

 

GeForce Go 7900 GS:

 Chipset Model:	GeForce Go 7900 GS
 Type:	Display
 Bus:	PCIe
 PCIe Lane Width:	x8
 VRAM (Total):	768 MB
 Vendor:	NVIDIA (0x10de)
 Device ID:	0x0298
 Revision ID:	0x00a1
 ROM Revision:	NVinject 0.1.3

 

and one of them also has this:

 Displays:
Display:
 Resolution:	1024 x 768
 Depth:	32-bit Color
 Core Image:	Software
 Main Display:	Yes
 Mirror:	Off
 Online:	Yes
 Quartz Extreme:	Not Supported
Display Connector:

 

and from the looks of things like the flurry screensaver and video playback, they're not being used properly, if at all. Also, I'm completely unable to change my resolution from anything other than 1024x768, which is really starting to get annoying on my 17 inch screen.

 

I tried NVInject (obviously) and this is basically where I am now. Not even the "Graphics Mode" boot flag can shake my permanent 1024x768 resolution. Everything else is working great (i'm posting from os x right now), but this is something I've got to get worked out.

 

Any ideas?

okay apparently i'm alone on this one

 

 

Nope! i have the same problem with a Asus EN7900GS.... :blink:

 

Tried all NVINJECTS on a Leopard 10.5.2 install, but when these are installed the system does not boot, (hangs just before login screen)

yeah i had that same problem when i tried using the graphics support that was in the AMD 10.5.1 installer. various versions of NVinject and titan and natit have all had some amount of success sometimes getting even the fact that its a go 7900 gs, but nothing can actually get CI or QE enabled, or even a decent resolution.

Hi to all

I have the same problem with my 7600 GS - 256 MB on AGP

My CPU is an AMD 3200+ and i had installed the 10.5.2 Leo4all DVD

 

I had partially solved installing all geforce, nvda**** and dsmos kext from tiger 10.4.10 tubgirl version for AMD

Install all kext, repair the permissions, delete extensions.mkext and caches

After reboot with -v -f

Now i have the right resolution but haven't CI+QE

 

I trying other ways

 

waiting for more information

 

good lucky
