GeekMan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I hate to be this poster, but I'm stumped and I need assistance. I'm trying to get CI/QE working on my PCI NVidia GeForce FX 5200, but to no avail. The card is correctly recognized in System Profiler, and I can change to multiple resolutions, but CI/QE still elude me! I'm using Kalyway's 10.5.2 with ToH's Sleep_Kernel. I have done the following: - Installed NVInject 0.2.1, NVDAResman.kext, NVDANV30Hal.kext, GeForce.kext, and Titan.kext - I have set the IOPCIMatch to my card's ID (0x032210de) in the Info.plists of the above, where applicable - Repaired all permissions and ownership - Set my NVCAP in NVInject using Property List Editor.app - Tried removing the individual kexts listed above in varying combinations - Booted with -v -f most of the time Does anyone have any suggestions? A lot of the How-Tos on this forum were meant for 10.4.x, so I've no idea if I'm following up-to-date or archaic instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GeekMan Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 UPDATE: I've switched from NVInject and Titan to Natit. Still no CI/QE. I'm starting to suspect that the problem is with the GeForce drivers themselves. What version should I be using? Do I need GeForce kexts from a 10.4.x system?

Raldo Pr Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes, same problem. Now I'm proving to make ALL manually, but I haven't NVCAP for my board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekMan Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Okay! I'm good to go. CI/QE Supported, dual monitor support enabled. The NVCAP is spot-on! I used the NVInject provided by monaco78 and the OSX NVidia drivers from http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/ I put my card's Device/Vendor ID string (0x032210de&0x000ffff) into the PrimaryIOPCIMatch field of "Info.plist" in GeForce.kext, NVDANV30HAL.kext, and NVDAResman.kext monaco78: I'm perplexed though. When I had a look at the Info.plist of the NVinject.kext which you provided, the PrimaryIOPCIMatch field was generic (0x000010de&0x000ffff). The vendor ID is there, but not the specific device. It was my understanding that it was a requirement to put your specific Dev/Ven ID in the plist of your injector. This seems not to be the case. Can you clarify? That being asked, thank you so much!

Glad to hear that I used the NVInject provided by monaco78 and the OSX NVidia drivers from http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/ You did not have to install those drivers for your videocard to work I put my card's Device/Vendor ID string (0x032210de&0x000ffff) into the PrimaryIOPCIMatch field of "Info.plist" in GeForce.kext, NVDANV30HAL.kext, and NVDAResman.kext monaco78: I'm perplexed though.

It is not a requirement if it loads ok That being asked, thank you so much! You're welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamilwaheed Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey People, I am newbie. It would really be appreciated if someone helps mine fx5200 to support QE/CI on MAC. If you have any questions please ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMorocco Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yes, same problem. Now I'm proving to make ALL manually, but I haven't NVCAP for my board. Sorry to hear that. I don't think your video problem is related to nvcaps. If you have Intel integrated video, try to backup and remove all the AppleIntelGMA* and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer kexts from your extentions folder and see if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this one, If this does't work for you, then I don't know what else I can do. don't forget to remove any injector (NVinject.kext/NVKush.kext/Natit.kext/Titan.kext) from your extensions folder before you install and use kexthelper to install.

rockstarjoe Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I had this card and while it worked great under Tiger I believe Apple has stopped supporting it in Leopard, so you may never get a satisfactory result. I think you are better off just buying a new card (I bought the 8400GS, it was on sale and seems to work fine with EFI strings). Good luck!
