Quadro 570m / Slow boot

[robstah]

Hey guys. I am currently running into a couple issues with my laptop hackintosh. Here are the following specs:

 

Brand/Model: HP 8510p

CPU: Intel C2D 7300 2.0Ghz (both cores working correctly)

RAM: 2GB (2x1 Dual Channel 667Mhz)

HD: 160GB SATA

Chipset: ICH8?

Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M 256MB (a couple of issues, see below)

Wireless: Broadcom BCM4312 (works perfectly like an airport card)

OSX Distro: iDeneb 10.5.4 version 1.1

Kernel: Vanilla 9.4.0

Video Card Drivers: nvinjectGo 0.2.0c

Audio: Works through speakers only, no mic/headphone support currently

Multicard Reader: Does not work, haven't tried drivers yet

PCMCIA controller: Ricoh based, every PCCard fix seems to {censored} out video/system, still not working

Here is what the system sees graphics wise:

As you can see, it seems that the system detects the card correctly and I am getting CI/QE and so on. If I remember right, getting everything working required the NVinjectGo package and adding an EFI string via OSX86Tools. The problem is that OSX does not detect a screen. Boot is decently fast, until it goes to a black screen. About 3-5min later, the screen comes on and the login window shows up. After that, if I dare close the lid on the laptop and have the screen turn off, I open it back up to a frozen screen/frozen system. So far, I have tried many different NVCAPs, both forcing it under NVinjectGo and under the EFI string. Nothing changes when I edit those. I've tried a couple other injectors (NVkush as an example) and even with no injectors at all. After setting the EFI, OSX seems to hold its understanding of the card. I even added the vendor ID/device ID to a bunch of related kexts and still nothing.

 

I really do not care much about the long boot, but closing the screen and having it freeze on me is a big pita right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have attached the ioreg information as well. Thanks!

UPDATE:

 

I tried adding the vendor/device IDs into Resman and V50Hal and all it would do is show "NVDA: probe(C14B) failed" and freeze the system. What's funny is I never had issues with selecting resolutions before, now I am stuck with 1680x1050x32. I'll keep playing with it however. Also, with limited support and no hardware support, I can now close my laptop and not have it freeze as well.

 

There has to be a way, this card is basically a 8600M GT.

I am back to having the 570m run with full compatibility, but when I close the screen, the laptop either shuts off or it freezes. The boot times have decreased after removing a bunch of kexts that were only causing errors. Could this be ACPI related?

Hi,

Would you be so kind to elaborate, how did you installed NVinjectGo and added EFI string?

I do have Thikpad T61p and the same Quadro 570 video card.

 

I would like to try to do the same

 

Thanks

Ditto to this. I installed NVinjectGo and NVKush and rebooted -- it just hangs on boot.

 

Second thing is -- What is the EFI string you used? Could you please be more specific about how you're going through the initial setup. Simply being able to select a resolution would be an improvement over my current setup. I am running a t61p as well.

 

Also, how slow are you talking when you say "slow". I'm waiting a few minutes. Are you suggesting it takes longer than that? 15 minutes?

 

 

 

Thanks

does your laptop sleep? if not thats where your getting your issue when you close the screen, my buddies laptop does the same thing when he tries to close it with the system on
