No graphics in 10.5.5 (kernel 9.5.0, build 9f9)

Because I couldn't get my GeForce 9300m GS to work on 10.5.4 (or any version) I was waiting to get a pre-release of the new update (10.5.5 with kernel 9.5.0 and a graphics update). The problem I had was that as soon as I added my DevID to NVDAResman.kext, the system.log showed this line:

 

kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel timeout!

 

And I got a blank screen.. Leopard did boot however..

 

But after installing 10.5.5 with the graphics update (BTW, 10.5.5 should support Geforce 9m series because it was already in NVDANV50HAL.kext), I still get the same error & blank screen.

 

kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel timeout!

 

But I also get this message:

 

VGA: match category IOFramebuffer exists

 

Now, I've tried everything from NVCAP settings to GFX strings, but everytime I want to enable Hardware acceleration I get a blank screen.. I hope someone knows what to do..

 

These are my specs:

Intel Montevina (mac users: Cantiga) notebook

Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 @ 2,67GHz

Intel PM45 chipset + ICH9M

nVidia GeForce 9300m GS 256MB

4GB DDR2 800MHz

Try installing NVKush, then put the gfx id in the plist of NVKush.kext, and GeForce.Kext as well as the mentioned above.

 

working 10.5.5, gfx = nvidia fx 370m = 9300m-gs
