its alive Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've installed leo4all v3. Everything worked ok. But when i try to install nvidia drivers (tried to select nvidia drivers during install, also tried NVInstallerV.41 ) after reboot I have a black screen with cursor at upper left corner. Booting at safe mode (-x) seems ok. It gives possibility to even change resolution to 1280x1024Mac Here is my hardware specs: Intel® Core2 CPU 6600 @ 2.4 Ghz cores: 2 memory: 2 GB OCZ Boot ROM: Hack.88Z.int.0sh.061193037 (Award Software International, Inc.) Videocard: Palit Nvidia NV6600GT 256Mb Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 500gb SATA Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateKylie Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 How is your display connected? VGA or DVI? I know for me I had VGA on boot but not DVI (black screen) until I changed the NVCAP to match my graphics card and then I got DVI. Sounds like that could be your problem as some people in the topic I got help about DVI for my card said they had successes in safe mode. I had a Nvidia 8400GS by XFX.

its alive Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've figured things out. used many diferent kexts and now it seems to work. with punk92 installer and natit. But there is no Core image and Quartz Extreme support (( Here is my card specs: ---------------------------------------- GeForce 6600 GT: Chipset Model: GeForce 6600 GT Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0140 Revision ID: 0x00a2 Displays: SyncMaster: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected ----------------------------------------- I need help, enabling CI and QE. Guys, please teach a noob p.s. I already edited device IDs in relevant kexts. but it did not help to solve this. p.p.s UltimateKylie, i checked with both dvi and vga earlier - no success.

wahwahman89 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dude try this: http://scottdangel.com/blog/?p=15 Make sure you have a clean install WITHOUT any video kexts installed (so use the customise screen during install, yeah?). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
