NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX (DELL) help......

[nanoware]

So went through hell the past 2 years trying to install Mac OS on my rig. Ever since Tiger i been trying. So i got my hands on Leo4All release and it finally worked!!! So after some screwing around with some kext's i got a higher resolution than 1024 x 768 . im at 1680 x 1050 now. But no quartz extreme. Im under the impression QE is like the Areo 3D (of windows vista) for macs.

 

so i edited NVDANV10Hal.kext, NVDANV20Hal.kext, NVDANV30Hal.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext, NVDANV50Hal.kext, NVinject.kext, NVDAResman.kext to list 0x029010de as my device id. and i rebooted and it worked. now im at the higher res but no qe or ci.

Your Device ID only needs to be in 3 files for you. NVDAResman, Geforce and NVDANV40Hal. Remove your ID from those other ones and it will work. Be sure you have NVinject installed also.

ok cool , i remove the kext completely or just the device id from the files. if from the files, what do i put to replace them? do i just leave it blank?

[kajou]

dont think it works,im trying also long time.

whit the latest nvinject now whe can get resolution, but quartz not.

you have to flash your card,but its riski s otake care. i know they cost lot of money, mine was 5 80 euro so i didnt flash it.

but if you can get it to work whitout, flashing post it here. it would be cool to get this card working.

[eddie11c]

Just remove and leave it blank in the others, if it fails to load try a different version of NVinject. I could only get my 7800GTX working properly with version 0.2.0.

Hi, i have Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX and Quartz Extreme is NOT supported. However the resolution is working, so is the display calibrating.

 

I see that this card is very rare for hackintoshers, but someone could help?

I did put my 0x029010de in GeForce, NVDAResman and NVDANV40Hal kexts, but still nothing.

I really want to enable Quartz Extreme.

 

Could someone point us to the right direction?

[vilpostus]

First of all try inserting an EFI string. Then, if no success, try CoreVidia or ATI_init.

[Ronyx69]

I already have tried the EFI String - that does nothing and i just tested CoreVidia and ATI_init and that did not change anything.

also remove "&0x0000ffff"

 

Before - "<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x000010de&0x0000ffff</string>"

 

After - "<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x000010de</string>"

 

Make sure your string matches your device id. Mine for my Geforce Go 7950GTX was "0x029710de"

 

Also you need to try different kext if one does not work properly. Also I would completly remove the unecessary kext as I did. I only use nvdaresman, nvinject, and nvdanv40hal kexts.

Dude, my 7300GT 512mb is working using only the 40HAL, NVDAResman and NVKush, modified by help of diabolik's website.

 

I dont think have all these HALs will work, didn't work for me.
