JitS Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi, I am running Jas 10.4.8 on my dv2637tx hp pavilion laptop. I was wondering if anyone can give me some information on display drivers. I have managed to get some luck with Geforce 8400M GS card, but still no good results Here is my system profiler, Graphics / Display Display: Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0427 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 800 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported I have read about Leopard and some users having success with card but I would like to get my Tiger with nice display before I move to 10.5. Thank you ! Jit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102223-nvidia-geforce-8400m-gs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple X Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 hello! You have the package NVInstaller for geForce graphics chipsets... You can select older version that 41, for example 34... and test it (in the installer, select install ultimate kext and framework, if you dont install, the system crash) You have the installers here: http://scottdangel.com/blog/?page_id=20 Good Look!

JitS Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi, Thanks for your reply, I have downloaded the package from scottdangel's blog but when i try to install it it bombs out, and when i run $sudo installer -verbose -volinfo -pkg NVInstallerV.41.pkg i get $ Broken pipe I have tried all the packages listed on that page, I also have checked my install.log it says: installer: Error parsing distribution script: /Users/jitwalia/Desktop/NVInstallerV.34.pkg xmllint: -:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found\n xmllint: xar!\n xmllint: ^\n Do you have any suggestions?

macgirl Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Maybe it will work only with Leopard. You can try with pacifist. But even if you succes installing the Nvidia Kexts they are for Leopard, I believe they wont work on Tiger.

JitS Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi, Thanks for your reply, I think Leopard 10.5 is better option. I am still using Tiger, however I will plan to switch in near future.
