stangn99 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hey guys, I've been running leopard on my machine for a VERY long time now. I started with 10.5.2, and soon after switch to LS8's method and have had 10.5.5 installed for 5-6 months now. Last night I decided to try LS8's v17 with 10.5.7 and Chameleon. Everything worked great, with the exception of my video card. In all previous versions of leopard, all I had to do was copy the com.boot.apple.something to the Library->preferences->system configuration folder and repair permissions and reboot. With 10.5.7 this does not work at all. Neither does NVInject. Anyone have any ideas? Also, what is Chameleon? I mean... i get the bootloader screen... is that all it is? do i HAVE to install it? I never had to with 10.5.5 thanks for any help/tips. My machine specs are: GA-EP35-DS4 (latest bios) PNY 8800GT 4GB Crucial ballistix Q6600 CPU A 4x500GB WD drives Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/173266-8800gt-1057-not-working-ls8s-method/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like I currently have my setup. I believe LS8's method automatically install PCEFI V8 with the ./pre-patch.sh script. I think I need PCEFI V9 to run 10.5.7, but not sure how to go about getting it on my drive. I have my running Mac, and trying to install 10.5.7 onto an external hard drive, which I will replace with the one containing 10.5.5 after install. Thanks for any help edit: reason I want to try it with PCEFI, is because I think Chameleon is causing me video problems.. I dunno though.

stangn99 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nevermind. figured it out 10.5.7 is running MUCH faster than 10.5.5! Very snappy.
