My 7900 GT CO eVGA doesn't works don't buy it, it works for 3 seconds then hangs for 30 to 60 seconds, then works again for 3 seconds then hangs again and so on so if you have plans for buying this card DON'T BUY IT.

I've tried flashing it with a plain 7900 GT bios and didn't work neither.

Anyone else have a nonworking card please post here and we must void buying this such of cards.

GeForce 6800 manufactured by dell.
device ID: 0x00c1

Boot sequence stops when starting loginWindow.app


EDIT: GeForce 6800 (nv41.1, 0x00c1) works only after adding the card's ID to NVDANV40Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext.

eVGA 7900 GT KO not working here

EDIT: Fully working now with Natit installer.

NVidia Geforce 3 Ti 200 64MB VRAM
Doesn't work with Titan.kext. (kernel panic when loginwindow tries to load, using the old 10.4.4 kernel on SSE2) (I now used the new Titan.kext (4/11) and I removed the NVDAResman.kext: it boots up, it shows me my graphics card in System Profiler, but no acceleration at all and i still can't change resolutions)
MacVidia drivers work.

NVidia 7400 GO in a Sony VAIO Laptop.
Doesn't work with Titan.kext.
Screen went black after the circle.
Update:
External Monitor works fine with full QE/CI.

Either semthex or mifki kernel.

MacVidia drivers works in 10.4.7.

tested new mifki kernel on my dell m 1210 , succeded
but titan.kext came to black-white checked screen.
macvidia didn't work just got hanged in black screen.

haven't yet tested semthex kernel.
probablely would get same result as the above.

Ya'll should only post in this thread if you're running a NEW 10.4.8 semthex/mifki kernel. Titan was tested with semthex, so thats the only thing that it is actually supported for. Any cards that fail under 10.4.7 or less with old kernels need to either upgrade their installation, or edit their posts here.

I've fixed it, I just unplugged my monitor from my GMA 950 and now its working

FX5200 AGP (MSI 128TDR).

Blue screen after loginwindow is launched (system is running, cause I can ssh to it).

--- EDIT ---

It works after removing of GeForce.kext but no QE/CI

Its working, look http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=225061 .

6600GT on a P4P800, when the loginwindow.app starts the screen refresh changes and the monitor gets a signal, but the screen just says blank.

From what I can tell the system is actually running, just not displaying anything...

This is on the very latest JaS 10.4.8 with the 10.4.4 Loginwindow due to crashing About This Mac... may try the 10.4.8 loginwindow if that would make a difference.

My MSI 7900GTO 512MB does not work also: Titan (tried old and new versions) loads fine, and I get a signal, but the signal is just a black screen. I was wondering that could it be related to the fact that I have 512MB of video memory? I have not seen anyone with a working 512 nvidia card yet, but there was someone complaining a similar black screen issue with ATI X1600 512MB. Maybe it has something to do with the framebuffer offset or something that has to be generally done in OS X with larger video memory sizes?

Does your card require nvdanv10hal.kext? If so, i think that it may be broken becuase it is the only kext that does not work. I thing nvdanv10hal.kext is for older cards. My Geforce 4 MX440 is relatively old so it uses nvdanv10hal.kext...

I think it requires nvdanv20hal.kext the same as me- which I've gotten to actually load, but still just black screen only. . .

-Another GeForce 3 user

Is there a way to tell which nvdanv**hal.kext is required for a card? My in a Geforce4 MX440...any ideas?

Are you using AGPgart, there are issuses with Titan and GART loading together, If so try unloading Gart and see if this works. Also In my case, Gart was leaving me with a blue screen.

P5LD2-VM with an EVGA 7950GT KO fails.

Tried copying files per MariusZ - No luck. Same.

Black screen on both DVI ports with JaS 10.4.8 Reseed and Semthex 10.4.8 kernel. System locks.

Tried changing offset - made no difference. Used a X1650 Pro on the same system with the Borisbad/Neopheus installer, and that card worked.

Any clues as to why the 7950GT wouldn't work?

Thanks.

I have found that when i include nvdaresman.kext, my computer freezes...

edit: anyone know why im getting "NVDA::start(display)" and "NVDA::start(display)<1> failed" with titan?

no sir, no AGPgart. . .

but I noticed a consistant pattern- whenever my NVDANV20Hal.kext loaded correctly, I always knew what I was going to get:nothing- no login screen, just blank- no matter what combinations I was using. I tried the patched 10.4.8 version of IONDRVSupport.kext or even the 10.4.7-I tried the 3 different Titan.kexts, even the Natit.kext and even mixed and matched various versions with each other to see what would load and what would error out. . .But I still have hope

edit: yo mathdude1284, I got the same error (which to me meant it didn't work)

edit edit: I think the mifki's kernel is also for intel only, but don't quote me on that. . .

Feel free to add your non working cards to the wiki page:

BFG GeForce 7600 GS just hangs when loginwindow.app is loading..


gotten some progress after adding in device ID into NVResman.kext.. got a black screen that others have gotten


runs without titan.kext but graphics are glitchy..

Running titan. Loads up on a monitor attached externally from my laptop (black screen on my laptop) but what worries me is that I have no QE/CI. This is very disappointing. Anyone might know why? Could it be wrong FBOFFSET or does that have nothing to do with it? It detects my card correctly - nVidia GeForce Go 7300.

EDIT: I'm running a 8.1 kernel. Prolly newer than alot of peoples

Is your card name listed in System Profiler? If so, then the kexts aren't loaded properly. Titan.kext identifies your card properly but once the actual drivers load it should change the card name to "display, b" or something liek that.

For those of you that LoginWindow doesn't load, try adding the card's ID to NVDANV40Hal.kext (or the one your card uses) and NVDAResman.kext. Maybe doing it to the NVDAResman.kext is enough but I didn't try that independently.

Intel P4 3.0 HT
1 GB Ram
ASUS nVidia GeForce 6800 (V9999) 0x0041

I tried that added 0x004110de&amp;0xffffffff to the list on both kext and did chmod/own and it still freezes when loading. Did I add it wrong or is it just not going to work? Anyone else get the asus v9999 working?

Great Work Andazp!

I have the exact same card as you. Dell 6800 0x00c1 0x00a2. I added the ID's to both NVDANV40Hal.kext and to NVDAResman.kext but for some reason I get the kernel panic screen. Any help would be much appreciated!

Digital Dark Age, I hope this clears how to add the ID:

remember to fix ownership and permissions if you edited it outside terminal, but it wouldn't hurt doing it anyway.


From NVDAResman.kext:
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x011010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x00c110de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&amp (...) </string>

On NVDANV40Hal.kex it should be nstead:
0x00c110de&amp;0xfff0ffff

Same thing here on AMD with geforce 6600GT. the VGA output works, the DVI stays black. also inserted my
displays EDID and all device IDs fine... no matter if I take the old or the new loginwindow btw.

Strange... maybe it is because it's PCI-E?

are you sure that shouldn't be 0xfff8ffff ???

Incorrect. The new Titan shows your card name properly.

I talked to np_ and others...I've done just about everything I could - the evga GeForce 7950GT KO WILL NOT WORK with Titan. Apparently Apple's drivers don't like the card. So, I'll probably return it and downgrade.

Did you try the new Natit release? Give that a try before returning the card. If you do decide on a downgrade, I'd aim for a 7900 GS, or a 7800 of some sort, since you seem to be looking for medium-high to high end cards.

Yes, I tried Natit. No go there either. I'll likely end up with a 7900GS. No one's conclusively stated whether 512MB cards have worked or not.

finally, got QE&CI with older IOPCIFamilly.kext.

hmm i tried your suggestion andazp.. and now ive gotten the black screen that others have gotten.. out of the frying pan and into the freezer i guess, but at least its progress.. thanks man..

I picked up a PNY 7900GS/256MB - Works like a charm with Natit. I guess the eVGA 7950GT KO just doesn't like Titan/Natit.

So we need to confirm if cards with 512MB doesn't works, guys if you had any card like Wallstreet's and have it working please post here.

i have a 7600 GS with 512mb that doesnt work.. actually its registered as 256mb by darwin and shown as that in system profiler too..

I have a 7600GS 512mb, it boots to the grey screen with the spinning circle then goes to a black screen, only way i can get back into osx is to uninstall natit.

MSI 7900 GTO 512MB

I either get a "Turn off your system" or Blackscreen

When you guys say loginwindow hangs, do you get NVDA::start(display) then a "NVDA::start(display)<1> failed"?

mathdude1284:
That's exactly what I get with 7900GTO and I think that's what most others are getting too...

I't starting to look as this is a 512MB problem... I wonder if it would be possible to flash the card to think it only has 256MB memory, but otherwise work as usual?

Just found out about Titan today. Exciting news! Could someone please tell me if my Geforce 6800GT AGP will work? If not, my mobo also has PCI-E so I'd be willing to get < $200 7x00 series (maybe that silent 7600GT)

zam.. does it say that ur card is 512mb in darwin? or in system profiler?

also.. ive found success when deleting NVDAResman.kext.. (That causes dependancy issues with NVDAN40Hal.kext so that may be the offending kext too)

When NVDAResman is removed, I get pretty stable gfx, but no QE..

Nope, at least system profiler sees it as only 256MB. This was tested using only vesa drivers.

same for me.. im convinced the reason this isnt working is because the kexts have compatibility issues with 512mb cards.. If only we could hack those kexts..

My card has 64mb...so i dont think it has to do with 512mb problems...maybe the way it handles the memory?

this is a dumb question but how can you tell if you have QE and CI??

Look in System Profiler...

has anyone else with 64mb memory got it working?

ok.. more info that i think we need to check some more infos..

After reading all the stuff on omni's site, it says that



So does that mean titan.kext needs to load before NVDANx0Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext? Because NVDAN40Hal.kext loads much before titan.kext in my setup..
