Demthios Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well I finally got this working right on my Dell. Here are my Laptop Specs Dell Latitude D830 Bios: A11 Proc: T7500 2.2Ghz Video: Nvidia Quadro 140M 256mb Ram: 2gigs 667mhz The process I used to get it working was with the iATKOS V4 DVD. Under the Custom Options I choose: The 2 Standard Default (The top to on the list) Then the whole Stock Files Next was the SMBIOS Nekat And I used the Natit video driver off the install When I booted into OSX this is what I got Unknown nVidia: Chipset Model: Unknown nVidia Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0429 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected If you guys have any questions just let me know I'm trying to find the pic of v4 menu but I can't seem to find it again once I do I'll edit it and highlight the ones I use to make this a bit more clear. Hopefully this works for everyone! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117269-nvs-140m-quadro-with-full-ciqe-support-solution/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kytzu Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Okay here are those to Files that you asked for kytzu...hope they help out. Thx for files. Still not working on my T61 10.5.4 (kalyway at origin) and I'll install the version used by you from scratch. However this natit version probably has the most chanches to work in T61 as well.

Crashman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 hi! I'm running a 10.5.4 (Kalway 10.5.1 + mysticus updates) on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61. Quartz support is one of the most important features, that is still missing. I've tried your Natit.kext, but after booting OSX says, that the Natit.kext isn't working. Me and many others would really want that QE support for the NVS 140m. If I can help somehow, just tell me what to do! have a nice day!

If I can help somehow, just tell me what to do! have a nice day! if you get that message just open disk utility and run repair permissions or open a terminal and do: sudo -s cd /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel Natit.kext chmod -R 755 Natit.kext After that reboot and you get either QI/CE enabled either a black screen. Good luck and pls post your result. If you get black screen, boot in single mode and delete Natit.kext or install macdrive in windows and delete Natit.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117269-nvs-140m-quadro-with-full-ciqe-support-solution/#findComment-838201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashman Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've repaired the permissions and did a reboot. The kext now works and I get the grey reboot screen. With -v parameter I can see the error messages (unknown Nvidia). It doesn't work on my R61!

kungfuteabag Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Doesn't work on my R61 either with the 140M. I installed the iATKOS V4 DVD with the options you Demthios gave and get a black screen when I boot after the install. I am new the osx86 scene but the video performance on the installer seems to work great.

jorro Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I think that this solution maybe works for Dell Latitude D830( with NVS 140M Quadro ) but its not woking for thinkpads-R61 or T61 with the same video card.May be becouse have a difference between bios of the cards...

kytzu Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 ugh im getting sick of no qe and ci with the 140m for thinkpads. i need it now. sooner or later we'll have it, the blocking point is that card is not well detected by darwin, maybe later versions will see it correctly.

glocklee Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i saw something on nvinject forum,saying that "video cards with same model number may be totally different due to different chipset conf." so...don't care too much about the dells..
