Where to put a EDID string?

[Michael-on-a-mac]

Just a quickie,

 

I am using an EFI string to help leopard load my nVidia 9600gt because NVinject didn't work (This way I get full HW Acceleration and QuartzExtreme). However since i am not using NVInject, i don't know where to place my display's EDID info, which i need to get onto the system because my display is not being detected properly. Hardware config is in my signature, Thanks for any help.

PS

 

These are the kext's that leopard loads related to my graphics card:

GeForce.kext

IOGraphicsFamily.kext

NVDANV50Hal.kext

NVDAResman.kext

So i just reboot and os x is recognizing my monitor this time (it does so every once and a while). Before i restart again and lose it, what files should i check to find out what is different? Thanks!

these are the lines from the console that might be pertinant, not sure though.

You can use EFI Studio and NVKush.

Inside the Info.Plist there is an entriestoAdd section which can contain EDID VALUES. I'm using a version from about 4 months ago and it supports that. I'm not sure about the newer ones. It works for me.....

 

After you get NVKush accepting your EDID strings for each screen. You can Use EFIStudio to create your gfx string....

And also use EFIStudio to update your com.apple.boot.plist

 

Best advice I can give you for that problem to save you some time....Let me know how it goes. If you can't get it working send me a PM and If I have time, I'll point out where exactly you have to update the file with your EDID strings. Remember this is the old version. I'm not sure if it will support your 9600 or not.

 

 

Take it easy.
