tristan.oneil Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hello, I've already read the entire thread about QE not working on a 8800GT after installing the 10.5.3 update but my problem is it has stopped working however I can't use the EFI string method to get it working because there are no native drivers for the 8500GT. My card worked perfectly with the nvidia injectors on 10.5.2 but I just can't get it to work with 10.5.3. Any suggestions. Anyone know when the nvidia injectors are going to be updated?

My card worked perfectly with the nvidia injectors on 10.5.2 but I just can't get it to work with 10.5.3. Any suggestions. Anyone know when the nvidia injectors are going to be updated? if it worked with nvinject then it must work with efi gfx-string. the nvinject injects the same device property into the right place in the devicetree and this is the purpose of the efi gfx-string as well. if it really worked with nvinject then u have the necessary "native drivers" (nvdaresman, nv50hal, geforce) so try it with the efi gfx-string method as it was reported the only working solution for 10.5.3 (it's working for me with 8600GT) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107710-8500gt-with-1053/#findComment-764416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
