podude Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have just bought a nvidia gtx 280. Since installing the card I have not been able to boot my iAtkos v4i system. Does anyone have any sugestions as to how I can get this card to work, I don't have any experience with command line kext copying.

enb14 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Drivers are not working yet on 10.5.5 so what you have to do is delete all nvidia kexts (Geforce.. and NV..) then you will be able to boot but no CE QE.

podude Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 sorry forgot to say, it is 10.5.4 I'm a bit of a newb to this stuff, it appears that it cannot boot because of the card not being recognized Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127315-nvidia-200-series/#findComment-900334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh D Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 you can boot in vesa mode. I use the gtx260 (can't run aperture though :-( ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127315-nvidia-200-series/#findComment-900745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
podude Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 are you using iatkos v4i? How do you boot using that mode? What kernal do you use? What graphics driver do you use? Thanks for your comments Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127315-nvidia-200-series/#findComment-901443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh D Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm using Kalyway 10.5.4 with the modbin kernal. No graphics drivers, just VESA 3.0 mode. I believe I did a safe boot with something like the following: "Graphics Mode"="1650x1280x32@60" I'll have to tonight at home to know for sure. I modified some plist file to make it permanent. I'll have to dig that up too I forget the details. I searched these forums a bunch for VESA 3 resolution type stuff.
