davidcmc Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Firstly, my pc is the following: Athlon X2 6000+ Asus M2N-E SLI XFX Geforce 8500GT 256mb Realtek 8169SC lan I've installed Zephyroth`s release 10.5.2. Everything is working, except for the graphics drivers. I've tried everything, but nothing works. Just tried to install using Nvidia Installer 3.0 beta by PUNK62, rebooted and after the Apple logo screen with that thing spinning the screen got completely black and nothing happens. Can anyone help me? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124271-help-with-xfx-8500gt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcmc Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nevermind. Problem solved! I'm using my 8500GT with it's digital output (DVI). Quartz Extreme is working too =D For those of you with that problem: I've deleted all NVIDIA driver files NVDAResman.kext NVDANV50Hal.kext NVDANV40Hal.kext NVDANV30Hal.kext NVDANV20Hal.kext NVDANV10Hal.kext GeForce3GLDriver.bundle GeForce2MXGLDriver.bundle GeForceVADriver.bundle GeForceGA.plugin GeForceFXGLDriver.bundle GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle GeForce.kext NVinject.kext Then installed insanelymac NVIDIA INSTALLER V3.0 Beta Version BY PUNK92. When the installation finishes, don't reboot the pc yet. Add your device ID in /system/library/extensions/NVDAResman.kext/contents/info.plist Add your device ID in /system/library/extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext/contents/info.plist Add your device ID in /system/library/extensions/NVinject.kext/contents/info.plist In the same plist (NVinject), set the NVCAP string correctly and replace the IOProbeScore number by 0. My XFX 8500GT 256mb has 1 DVI + 1 VGA + 1 TVOUT, so i set NVCAP with 04000000 00000100 0E000000 00000007 00000000 Now reboot the pc.
