Guilherme Oliveira Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I used the Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.9 (Uphuck version 1.4) and everything was running property but when i changed this graphic card, i changed to "NVidia Geforce 8500GT by ZOGIS", a cheap graphic card to run some modern games. But when i run Linux, Windows XP, all is ok but when i run the Mac OS X Tiger version Uphuck or iDeneb Leopard 10.5.6, the system show the famous "Kernel Panic of Death". The system recognizes the graphic card as a card with 16 MB of RAM memory but this card have 512 MB of Video RAM Memory. When this occur, i think that we wave a big problem to solve but i don't know how to solve this. Can I run the Mac OS X in legacy video mode (VESA) to be compatible with all video cards (without hardware acceleration)?
