phoenix789 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi, i've succed in installing totally vanilla 10.6 in my laptop. However i'm not able to make my graphic card work properly. I've tried this methods: 1) EFI string in com.apple.Boot.plist in <key>device-properties</key> <string> "STRING HERE" <string> 1-1) First EFIstudio doesn't have my card 1-2) so i've tried OSX86tools, it has my EFI string but it doesn't works properly 1-2) After i've tried to make it myself with gfxutil and in.plist it gave me my out.hex and another string, it didn't work either. 2) So i've tried Chameleon autodetect in com.apple.Boot.plist : <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> it's not working either 3) So i've tried with ndarwin installer and in com.apple.Boot.plist: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> to be sure i have not compatibility 64bit kext problem. (I've chosen the same patch that i've used in Leo). It is not working either. 4) Results: All i can get it's this awfull resolution: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Display: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0427 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------ and in Leo i have this: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0427 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: NVdarwin 1.2.3 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 800 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected I've upload my extra folder with my EFIstring.
