OSxWanabe Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Just got Leopard running, updated it, installed chameleon and the Voodoo kernel and everything seems to be going good, except i cant get my 7900GS to work. I have tried NVinject and natit, but nether seem to work. I removed all kext dealing with anything related to those including geforce* and nv*, and installed 9f23 installer from scottdangel's site that modifies the apple.boot.plist and adds efi strings. The card seems to be recognized well enough in sys pro., but it claims that QE is not supported. Any help would be much appreciated. nVidia GeForce 7900 GS: Chipset Model: nVidia GeForce 7900 GS Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0292 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: nVidia GeForce 7900 GS OpenGL Engine [EFI] Displays: MX90: Resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 85 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142615-7900gs-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingu Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have the Nvidia GeForce 7900GS Go 512MB in my laptop. I am running Leopard 10.5.6 with full QE/CI with NVinject 0.2.2 and vanilla NVidia kexts I not sure if what worked for me will also work for you. I have been using Leopard ever since it came out. For Leopard 10.5.0, 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, all I had to do is throw in NVinject, clear the caches and repair permissions and QE/CI was enabled no problem. But starting with 10.5.3, I had to do additional steps: - In the info.plist of NVinject, I changed the IOProbeScore from 60000 to 0, that's right zero. -In the info.plist of Geforce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext, I added my device id: 029810de. In your case it's 029210de. I keep using the same NVinject 0.2.2 with the IOProbeScore edited to zero. Each time I update, I have to add my device id in the new version of GeForce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext. I always use the vanilla NVidia kexts that come with the new version. That's what I have been doing since 10.5.3 and my QE/CI has always been enabled, even up to now with Leopard 10.5.6.
