petear Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I have managed to assemble (what i think) is the perfect budget mac. I'v installed the retail 10.5.6 leopard (using boot132) and most things worked straight away. audio, chipset and time machine i had to add a few kexts but now everything is working...exept the graphics card. its an asus 9400 GT 512MB the problem im having is that everytime i move a window the content disappears and i have to minimize and then maximise to get it back. also when scrolling through certain windows the text will sort of mount ontop of itself and all jumble up leaving a mess of text behind the original. i have been told it may have something to do with redraw? has anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this? i would be very apreciative ps. i realise i havnt explained this very well and so will upload screen shots of exactly what i mean this evening Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/165223-graphics-problems-redraw-scrolling-and-moving-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Do you have Quartz Extreme/Core Image enabled? Look under graphics & displays in System Profiler. Post a photo of it so we can see what injector you are using.

creeman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I also have this problem, except, I have a GTX 260, which isnt really supported in OS X at the moment. I know that Quartz Extreme is not enabled, and I'm not sure about Core Image. Any way to get this problem to disappear...?

Beerkex'd Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yes, get Quartz Extreme and Core Image working by using an injector, DSDT Patch or EFI Device Property String.

creeman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yes, get Quartz Extreme and Core Image working by using an injector, DSDT Patch or EFI Device Property String. This even works with the GTX 260...?

creeman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have also noticed that when booting into Safe Boot I dont have this problem, why is that?

Beerkex'd Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Because the graphical errors are caused by hardware accelerated graphics not working properly. In safe mode there is no hardware acceleration (QE/CI).

In safe mode there is no hardware acceleration (QE/CI). So basically I am screwed when it comes to QE/CI with GTX 260, at least until Snow Leopard comes out? Well. That's a shame.

Beerkex'd Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 No idea. Try using the search and see if it works for others.
