HP Pavillion dv9700 & 0sX86 10.5.6 Final Issues

[chris_lowe2]

Ok here goes after reading 100's of fixes over the last day I am at my Wits End.

 

I have an HP Pavillion DV9700 running osX86 10.5.6 Final

 

Here is the install

 

Default Kernal 9.6.0

 

ICHx SATA Drivers

 

Seatbelt.kext

 

Ethernet Realtek R1000

 

Legacy Time Machine Fix

 

Video- NVinject 0.2.0 (I have NVinject 0.2.1 512MB Vram, but after reboot it changes)

 

Audio- ALC2628

 

USB Patched USB Drivers

 

Power Power Management Package

 

Shutdown Restart Fix

 

I also installed a few applications that I have used in the past.

 

Now for the computer

 

Graphics Nvidia GeoForce 8600M GS 512MB

Intel® Core 2 DUO PU TS450@ 1.66GHZ

 

What I want to know is if this video card can have quartz extreme? I have looked through the posts and I have tried a million different things and I still can't figure it out. This will solve 99% of the issues that I am having with my programs from what I have read. If it can not support QE and there is no fix, can you recommend a card for this computer.

 

I want Quartz Extreme. I am including a screen shot for the graphics, so you know what I have installed.

 

Also I have a RICOH card reader that I would like to get working as well. My main concern is the Quartz. If I cant enable it, then I want a new card.

 

I am fairly new to this forum, but I have successfully installed this twice with a few tweaks. If you provide fixes, that require changing system files, or updates, please provide step by step or link to a tutorial.

 

Also I have searched through every site out there and can not find a solution that works for me, thus the reason for this post. So please don't tell me to search it is there, I have run out of search.

 

Thanks for the assistance and the great product. By the way I have updated to 10.5.7 successfully.

In case anyone else is having this issue, I finally got the problem fixed. The graphics issue was causing me not to be able to use iLife 09 and iWork 09, because of Quartz extreme. I uninstalled NVinject.kxt and extracted NVDarwin 512mb from the osX86 disc and installed it. Rebooted and now QE is supported and I can use all of the programs.
