DanB91 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 i just installed 10.5.3 and everything that I had problems with (usb drives not mounting, and all USB devices, except kb/m not working) is gone which is very good! however since i installed this QE is gone and it was working w/ 10.5.2 on my 8800GT. is anyone else having this problem? anyone find a solution? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107366-qe-not-working-on-1053-on-8800gt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 no problem there, QE/CI is still working perfectly. Maybe because i'm using gfx string and not nvinject though.

Mysticus C* Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 i just installed 10.5.3 and everything that I had problems with (usb drives not mounting, and all USB devices, except kb/m not working) is gone which is very good! however since i installed this QE is gone and it was working w/ 10.5.2 on my 8800GT. is anyone else having this problem? anyone find a solution? thanks learn to use the string, and usb not mounting issue is caused by mismatched system.kext and kernel versions... 9.2.0 kernel has to have 9.2.0 system.kext for example... most people have 9.2.2 system.kext with 9.2.0 kernel.. thats the reason you had it... in future you can fix it easy... just know what the reason is... in case if you revert your kernel to previous version make sure get previous version of system.kext with same version of the kernel you wanna use... else you will have the usb mount problem...

terrancew_hod Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 For those that are lost their QE: How did you have it set up? nvinject or efi strings? And those that have it working, what is your setup. I've said this many times before, but it actually helps if you take a moment to put your hardware setups in your signatures so people know what you have and can see if they have similar setups. It's all about making fixing problems easier when you have as much information available as possible.

bolen Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'll just add my experience.. used NVinject before the update. QE stopped working after the 10.5.3 update. Tried installing the NVinstaller v.41 without any success.. I'll guess I'll have to wait.

cyclonefr Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 seems the problems is due to OpenGL.Framework not being updated successfuly. I success you guys try to delete it completely and put the one from your OSX DVD. You will have lots of bugs (white menus) but if you have QE/CI then try to update it with Pacisift and 10.5.3 pkg and tell me how it goes. I didn't do this, but you never know I didn't have anything to do on either of my PC, but I use GFX String. EDIT : Of course, if you still have the bug using gfx string. If you don't then use gfx string first !

terrancew_hod Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 So I guess, I would need to get gfx strings working before I upgrade.

Hagar Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just to confirm that NVinject seems broken by 10.5.3, changing to gfx strings solved it for my 8400gs I used the agrafuese.plist from the file pack in this tutorial as a template, renaming it hagar.plist on the way. I opened it in textedit & added my device path as extracted with ./gfxutil -f display where it says to do so. Then I opened it in plist editor (from xcode tools) & added my nvcap as used in nvinject. Then I ran ./gfxutil -i xml -o hex hagar.plist output.hex & pasted the contents of output.hex into com.apple.Boot.plist as per the tutorial: <key>device-properties</key> <string>PASTE THE STRING FROM OUT.HEX HERE!</string> hope this "short version" may clear things up for some people.

Gujal Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 @DanB91 Open Terminal enter the following commands (Enter your password when prompted) sudo -s chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NV* touch /System/Library/Extensions reboot It should rebuild the kext cache and reboot. Hopefully the problem will go away. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107366-qe-not-working-on-1053-on-8800gt/#findComment-763310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
