If you guys have any questions just let me know I'm trying to find the pic of v4 menu but I can't seem to find it again
once I do I'll edit it and highlight the ones I use to make this a bit more clear. Hopefully this works for everyone!

Is there any hope to hope with 570m card too?

Have anyone tried it yet?


Thank you for posting this.

oh, some hope for the 140M

i tried it with your options, but i get a black screen at the first start
did you edited some of the kext files with your devid?

Yes , we want more details!!!

I'm a newbie at messing with Kext so nope I didn't edit anything. I have another friend here that has installed OSX to his D830 and it worked on his as well....I don't have the 570m otherwise I would try sorry....

there are bunch of thinkpad / lenovo users,... with the quadro NVS 140m,.....

thanks demthios,... good news, you got yours to work,... post some xbench ,...

Yeah sorry I can't be more help I'm fairly new at this all. Got a friend of mine sucked into it as well. Xbench haven't heard of that one yet will look it up tonight. I double checked those settings up there that I post tonight had to reload my machine again...Getting rid of the Vista partition and just going to run windows in VMware...So if there are any questions I'm trying my best to answer them....

Can you pls check in /System/Library/Exrensions/ then compress and attach Natit.kext and/or NVinject.kext if you find them?

Also /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file.

Thx a lot.

Yeah I sure will I'll trying and throw those out there tonight if not I'll definitely be able to tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Okay here are those to Files that you asked for kytzu...hope they help out.

thanks demthios!
grabbing iatkos v4 and will get it onto my T61 with nvs 140m soon...
I will post my result here when it's done.

Thx for files. Still not working on my T61 10.5.4 (kalyway at origin) and I'll install the version used by you from scratch. However this natit version probably has the most chanches to work in T61 as well.

hi!

I'm running a 10.5.4 (Kalway 10.5.1 + mysticus updates) on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61.
Quartz support is one of the most important features, that is still missing.

I've tried your Natit.kext, but after booting OSX says, that the Natit.kext isn't working.


Me and many others would really want that QE support for the NVS 140m.

If I can help somehow, just tell me what to do!


have a nice day!

if you get that message just open disk utility and run repair permissions or open a terminal and do:

sudo -s
cd /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel Natit.kext
chmod -R 755 Natit.kext

After that reboot and you get either QI/CE enabled either a black screen. Good luck and pls post your result. If you get black screen, boot in single mode and delete Natit.kext or install macdrive in windows and delete Natit.kext

I've repaired the permissions and did a reboot. The kext now works and I get the grey reboot screen. With -v parameter I can see the error messages (unknown Nvidia).

It doesn't work on my R61!

Doesn't work on my R61 either with the 140M.

I installed the iATKOS V4 DVD with the options you Demthios gave and get a black screen when I boot after the install.

I am new the osx86 scene but the video performance on the installer seems to work great.

did the natit driver can really working on the NVS 140M card?
i just checked the natit wiki page, and i found out the latest released version date was 2006. earlier than NVS 140M card released.
is that really working on Thinkpad T61 graphic card

Great....

no luck still...
didn't work on my T61.
get a black screen.
perhaps port it from Linux?my nvs 140m works well under linux.

ugh im getting sick of no qe and ci with the 140m for thinkpads. i need it now.

It looks like no one with the needed knowledge has the hardware to work on our problem.

Thanks a lot that works for me, I was using EFI string but doesnt support QE, now i replaced Natit, I got the same result as you, however, the restart and shutdown still not working, Is your working???

I think that this solution maybe works for Dell Latitude D830( with NVS 140M Quadro ) but its not woking for thinkpads-R61 or T61 with the same video card.May be becouse have a difference between bios of the cards...

sooner or later we'll have it, the blocking point is that card is not well detected by darwin, maybe later versions will see it correctly.

i saw something on nvinject forum,saying that "video cards with same model number may be totally different due to different chipset conf."
so...don't care too much about the dells..

Anyone lucky on T61?

Not yet!

I added the natit kext for my Kalyway 10.5.1 installation upgraded to 10.5.5 using netkas' method and I get full resolution with QE/CI but alot of artifacts when dragging or scrolling. Any thoughts anyone?

Are you Lenovo T61 or Dell? I can't upgrade tp 10.5.5 my T61, it always crash no matter what tutorial I follow

I tried it and have no luck. Any one get a solution yet? There are a long long line of t61 waiting for the solution...........

i was thinkin of getting a thinkpad as well, but this quadro problem is a plot-stopper.

and honestly i think a thinkpad is too ... bulky (didn´t say ugly;) ) to pose as an macbook IMHO.

but still good luck to you

I think not all thinkpads have NVS140M, you can still get one with X3100 card.
