Hi.

 

I have tested to get CI/QE on 8600gt for 2 days, but I can`t get them. ( p5k + 8600gt + e6750 + sata2 hdd )

 

I have tried nvkush, nvdarwin 1.25, efistudio, universal osx86 installer.

 

How about you ?

o CI/OE ====> The menu bar at the top is translucent.

No the information has just been removed.

So I have used CI/OE. [ Seeing the translucent menu bar of my screen shot below ]

 

My 10a432 could have CI/OE using nvkush or nvinject or nvenabler or nvdarwin or efi string.

does your snow extensions folder have a geforcefxgldriver.bundle? mine didn't and i did not get qe/ci until i put it in there and set correct permissions for it...i used geforcefxgldriver.bundle from 10.5.8...i have an 8800gts g92 and am using nvdarwin...

 

My /S/L/E has GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle and GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle, the only mod on this installation is to install NVkush to /S/L/E.

 

I might try move NVkush to my /Extra/Extentions to keep my SL installation 100% vanilla.

no i guess i was wrong...i just removed geforcefxgldriver.bundle from my snow extensions folder and rebooted and still have qe/ci...i know what i did....i remember now cause i did it at the same time... also edited geforce.kext, nvdanv50hal.kext and nvdaresman kext info.plists with my device id...i edited nvdarwin too...the nvram size was wrong...thats what i did!

Thank you for your nice infos, but I failed.

 

 

(try1) : editing ( geforce.kext + nvdanv50hal.kext + nvdaresman kext ) + nvkush.kext

 

(try2) : editing ( geforce.kext + nvdanv50hal.kext + nvdaresman kext ) + nvenabler0.1.kext

 

(try3) : editing ( geforce.kext + nvdanv50hal.kext + nvdaresman kext ) + nvdarwin.kext

 

(try4) : editing ( geforce.kext + nvdanv50hal.kext + nvdaresman kext ) + efistudio ( apple.com.Boot.plist )

 

 

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0402

 

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x040210de</string>

 

 

 

Any other suggestions ?

To maya77

 

Can you give me the link about your method ? Did you try the EFI string and the dsdt.aml for your 8800gt ?

 

Does your mobo support AHCI Mode on BIOS ? ( BTW, my asus p5k doesn`t support AHCI Mode. )

 

GoodWorld,

 

I have switched from NVkush to EFI String last night and it work perfectly on my 7900GS 256MB.

All kexts in /S/L/E are untouched.

 

I don't know if that help apply to you.

 

Tommy

 

 

P.S. my DSDT.aml does not have any gfx patch.

My dsdt.aml also does not have any gfx patch.

 

I've created EFi string using EFI studio, then added it to Extra/com.apple.boot.plist as I'm using Chameleon bootloader.

 

Be noted that original com.apple.boot.plist will be ignored when Chameleon is used, so don't make any changes in this file.

Thank Tommy & maya77 for your nice applies.^^

 

But your infos don`t help me. So I would like to ask for the string of 8600gt-256ram-users.

I also have the NVidia GeForce 8600M GS 256

 

Is that string giving you CI/QE ? Mine is NOT working but I do have dual monitors at 1140x900.

Is there any way to get CI/QE on the GeForce 8600M GS 256 ??? I had it in 10.5.x but not in 10.6 ???

and for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS 256mb?? The Nvinject dosn't work!

 

if you have Chameleon RC3 try setting a bootflag at the darwin as

 

arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=YES

 

that worked for me and I have the same card as you ^_^ cheers!

 

also dont use any Nvinject or anything, make sure you delete those 3rd party ones and use the apple ones ONLY

Just a note for the EFI string users - extract the string under 10.5 as EFI Studio or OSX86Tools will give bogus information under 10.6. No idea why.

 

This drove me nuts until I found my old com.apple.Boot.plist from Leopard and compared the string on that to the one EFI studio was giving me under Snow Leopard.

I also have the NVidia GeForce 8600M GS 256
