HOW TO GET VGA Video OUT Working if you have the Nvidia 8600M GT Video Card ONLY.

Using NVinstaller v.41 or NVinstaller v.52 (Select the Vanilla, and the 'M' or 'Go' Laptop options)

Tested with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.3 and 10.5.2

1.Download and install PlistEditPro from here

2.Find the NVinject.kext (and/or) NVinjectGo.kext in SYSTEM/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS , Right click it, show package content.

3.Find Info.plist then right-click -> open with -> PlistEditPro, the value to edit is in IOKitPersonalities -> NVinject -> entriesToAdd -> NVCAP) changing the NVCAP value with this value of a 15" MacBook Pro 8600M GT 256Mb:
040101010e0001000e0000000000010b00000000

4.save and repair permission (you can do that with DISK UTILITY on Applications/Utilities) and reboot with -v -f options



Flaviopiu and I got VGA out to work in EXTENDED mode great! (Both Internal and External). BUT, In MIRROR mode our internal laptop LCDs become black and we can only see the mouse pointer, while the external monitor displays properly. If anyone can help fix this problem or have any suggestions, please post. THANKS!

This Guide was made by Flaviopiu. Thanks!

same problem here with 8600m gt 512 mb

I tried it - all I get is a black screen. Tested with NV installer .52 edited plist in nvinject.kext there was no nvinjectgo.kext in the extension folders. I saved and repaired permissions.

I have tested with other nvcap values as well. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong! Everything else works good. I just want to work on my 24" screen!

My Rig consists of: Leo 10.5.3, video card 8600m GT, Inspiron 1520 Core2 Duo 2.2ghz.

I have it working without QE support.
Use this one: (dunno how to make it into numbers) BAAAAAAAAQAOAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=

YES! Finally got my lap working dual screen!
Thanks for the info dude!

Asus G1S-B1 Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT (Note LCD + HDMI + VGA + S-video) with iDeneb (10.5.4). LCD is working from getgo with NVinstaller 0.2.0, Dual working after inserting this NVCAP and 0407 as Card Model

Hope this helps other G1S owners

Awesome - Inspiron 1520 with dual screen working finally! Thanks! :-)

@hackbookpro - use an app like Plist edit pro to edit the Info.plist file - the string you are seeing is binary and you need an editor capable of reading/writing it going.

i can't get this to work. I have nvkush already installed though. Is this a problem?

Am running atkos 4i, dell 1720 10.5.4
