dvd player freezes system, graphics issue on 10.5.5

i just installed 10.5.5 on a vanilla kernel, previously i had NVINJECT on my hp dv9335nr laptop with a 256 mb geforce 7600 go card

 

now, when i try to play a dvd the screen's video gets all pixelated and i need to quit out. vlc works fine.

 

is there a new driver i can install for my video card that's not nvkush? i used nvkush cause QE/CI was killed after the update.

Same problem here.

 

I have a GeForce Go 7900 GS 512 MB

Running 10.5.5 from Retail DVD

Using NVinject 0.2.2 with IOProbeScore changed to 0

I have my device id in Geforce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext, NVDAResman.kext and NVinject.kext

Chameleon EFI Bootloader

AppleSMBIOSEFI 28

AppleACPIPS2Nub

 

in 10.5.4 DVD player worked perfectly

 

Now in 10.5.5, I still have QE/CI, XBench score is higher, but DVD Player freezes and is pixelated with many weird color artefacts.

 

If I put back the 10.5.4 NVidia kexts and the 10.5.4 OpenGL.framework, DVD Player works perfectly again. It seems to be something with the 10.5.5 NVidia kexts and OpenGL.framework.

I found out what's the issue with DVD Player:

 

 

Start DVD Player WITHOUT a DVD inserted in DVD ROM, go to the display menu and

 

either deaktivate DEINTERLACING

 

or set it to "better quality" only.

 

 

Now you can insert and watch a DVD without problems.

 

Next time you may start it with DVD inserted, DVD Player saved this option :D

this works, but i'm a little dissapointed that there isn't a better fix. i love the deinterlacing that dvd player has, and it worked fine before the update

 

any ideas?

 

Sure there is: set it to "better quality", it's the best setting lol
