you guys really need to read the instructions before start putting kexts on the extensions folder.

 

I would recommend you that for problems with np_'s drivers you go the macvidia site, that's what it is for.

 

If you can, access your OSX installation (i.e. form another installation, live disk, linux distro that can read HFS+) and delete the added kext and the extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext. Go back to OS X and install the driver following the instructions

Instructions

 

1) Delete IONDRV.....kext

2) Copy kexts to /System/Library/Extensions

 

Do The following in terminal

 

3) cd /System/Library/Extensions

4) chmod -R 755 NVDriver.kext

i think you have to read the instrucktions for basic computing :smoke:

in singel user mode at the las few lines is everything printed what you need

dont cry an screem open your eyes an understand what you can read

 

at macvidia is an solution for the back screen, but its printed with letters, too. :pirate2:

 

try -x (Save Boot) without -s (Single User Mode) and you get a graphical interface to klick ur Problems away like in M$Systems (:idea:)

Okay so I got stupid and didnt add the permissions before I rebooted., which looks like some other folks here ran into the same thing. I'm not familiar with the code required at all.

 

Would it be possible for anyone here to tell me the boot command at startup so I can change those permissions before the OS loads? I'm not even sure if thats posssible at this point.

You could try booting into single user mode (-s at darwin prompt) and doing the instructions, such as fsck -fy and mount -uw / then run diskutil repairpermissions. I've never worked with the commandline utility, so I dunno if it sucks or not.

Cool well atleast it sounds like it might be possible. I havent worked with the command line at all either previous to booting the OS.

 

 

If anyone here knows the commands to make this happen or if it works at all its highly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to wipe my drive and reinstall. :(

As I'm watching Macvidia.com closely for a new stable release that will support CI/QE I was trying all versions. For me the only version that worked flawlessly was beta 1 build 5, the installer.

 

Be careful with the last one keep a back up of IONDRV and if you have ploblems boot with -s and check here the shell commands for mac:

to be able to copy back the iondrv and delete the nvidia kext files so you can get the GUI back.

 

 

 

Good Luck.

I told you what to try. What else do you want?

boot into single user mode, and run diskutil repairpermissions
