tungmeister Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 hi guys, i've got an 8800gtx with Nvinject 0.2.1 and recently a problem has developed. if i don't start my system in verbose mode (-v) or safe mode the system will start up but as soon as its finished loading my monitor turns off, with verbose mode the system will start up fine but i don't get quartz extreme, i've tried reinstalling nvinject but this hasn't helped, anyone any ideas? i'm running 10.5.4 vanilla kernel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120430-8800-gtx-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You need to use NVkush with 10.5.4 I believe or use a EFI Graphic string. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120430-8800-gtx-problems/#findComment-852091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungmeister Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 i tried using nvkush but that kept failing when i modified the plist to 768mb vram, i've now moved onto a efi graphic string but i'm still having problems, if i try to boot up normally it still goes turns the monitor of though if i start up with -v i can get onto the system and under the profiler it says : Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX [G80]: Chipset Model: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX [G80] Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 768 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0191 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX [G80] OpenGL Engine [EFI] Displays: EM-175: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz 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 which would imply that it should work, though i can clearly see that the UI isn't hardware accelerated though it claims to be so, anyone any ideas?

tungmeister Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 i found a fix for the problem, search for the drivers from the 10.5.5 beta 9f9 seed, this is working for me with an efi string.

Are you guys using netkas' EFI or Chameleon? My 8800GTX efi string worked perfectly with my 10.5.4 installation using EFI. Just did a clean install with Chameleon and the same efi string no long works. I'll have to do some checking to see if this is indeed related.

Using the 9f9 kexts made no difference for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120430-8800-gtx-problems/#findComment-858684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
