kytzu Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have Daytona 9500GT but probably is the same family. These cards are supported only by 10.5.5 + macbookpro update You can upgarde to 10.5.5 or install indeneb 10.5.5 If not booting, try -x parameter at boot options (safe mode) From there, install aqua-mac's patch (containing makbookpro drivers) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132089 Get nvdarwin.kext.zip from here and with property list editor set VRAM,totalsize to 20 (512 RAM) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=125106 Use pcwiz's tool or other method you like to install the kext reboot and it should work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135987-palit-9400-gt-video-card/#findComment-963192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hussein Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have a palit 9400 GT video Card with 1 gbyte vram it work fine with 10.5.6 with QE sport ( i tested some games it work perfect) , i used OSX86Tools to make an efi string , i used 9800 gtx string ( which is found on the gfx list) , i just changed vram with EFIStudio ( gfx string could not be changed with OSX86Tools , so i copied text generated by OSX86Tools and pasted it in efistudio and there i changed the vram ) also it worked fine (with QE support ) using NVdarwin 1.2.5 (here it is http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=125106) ,i had to add my card Device ID TO NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV50HAl.kext ( may be one could be enough) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135987-palit-9400-gt-video-card/#findComment-1056356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
