Hi,

 

I bought "Point of View Geforce 7300GT AGP 256MB" and.........I was finally able to get it works.

 

My motherboard is an ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe with a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz

which driver did you use?will this specs work for leopard <h3 class="ens fontnormal">BEST nVIDIA Geforce 7300GT 7300 GT 512MB AGP Video Card</h3>

you must use :

 

- NVidia-Kexts.pkg (you will find it inside Leo4All V3 DVD)

- NVinject 0.2.1 (you can download from the net)

 

Then you have to check for your "Vendor ID" and "Product ID" for your video card. You can find these data inside the system profiler.

 

Let suppose that you have :

 

Vendor ID: 0x10de

Device ID : 0x02e2

 

Then you have to modify the following kext :

 

- Geforce.kext

- NVDANV40Hal.kext

- NVDAResman.kext

 

Inside each kext, you will find the file : info.plist. So you have to modify this file, 3 times

 

Inside this file you have search for the followind string:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

 

and in the row immediately below you ave to write :

 

<string>0x02e210de..................

 

 

Please, you must not delete anything after ".........."

 

Then open the terminal and write the following:

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/geforce.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/geforce.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/nvdanv40hal.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/nvdanv40hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/nvdaresman.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/nvdaresman.kext

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches

 

then write :

 

diskutil repairpermissions /

 

and then reboot.............

 

Then copy NVinject.kext under /System/Library/Extensions and then write :

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject*

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject*

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches

 

and then:

 

diskutil repairpermissions /

 

 

..........reboot and enjoy
