Akilae Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hello everyone and good evening, I have the following Problem, I'm using an Dell XPS M1330 notebook with Kalyways version of osx86. Now I kinda got a problem, I installed the System today after 3 months of using linux and I kinda realized that it isnt that easy anymore. I updated to 10.5.3 and got everything to work beside the graphic drivers. Is there any guide for the 8400M GS I might have overseen? From what i read so far am I right that you need the driver files (geforces.bundles) and the NVinject.kext to get it to work? If yes I think I need the correct drivers for 10.5.3 because I already found the NVinject.kexts by reading macgirls guides. My System has the following spec: Dell XPS M1330 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz Ram: 4 GB Corsair GFX: Nvidia Gforce 8400M GS <---- Problem Audio: Integrated Sigmatel STAC9228 WLAN: Dell Truemobile Wireless 1505 mini PCI-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalprophecy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Check out this thread. It has lots of information on this laptop. There is a way to get it to work. I have this computer too but haven't put OS X on it because I have the Intel wireless card which is not compatible. Luckily you have a compatible wireless card.

macgirl Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thats the guide im following most of the time unluckily i didnt find anything regarding 10.5.3 and the 8400M GS You did not follow the thread really because Sonotones package work even with 10.5.4, I also said in the thread which kext you need to restore from 10.5.2, and as other Nvidia owners you need to modify NVinject or use NVkush/Natit that have the proper value in IOProbeScore but if you are using GFX string no nned to modify anything. THe purpose of restoring some of the 10.5.2 Nvidia kexts is to regain performance because with all 10.5.3 the graphics card is very sluggish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shd Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I've installed SL but the only thing I can get from my 8400m is the 1440x900 resolution... QE/CI are not supported... I've tried alot of kext and nothing... anyone knows what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusEting Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I also have the M1330 with the 8400 and can't seem to get this to work. I'm running 10.6. I've tried editing the com.apple.boot.plist file and adding the device, as well as many kTexts and also the packages suggested above. Still no luck. I see other people on the forum have had luck with this video chip on the M1330 but I can't seem to find the secret. Also, some of the techniques discussed were for 10.5. Can anybody point me in the right direction? My lack of success isn't for lack of trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
