Haze295 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 10.5 EFI + New RC4 Chameleon Add Graphics Enabler to Boot.plist Add kernel line to boot plist (pci1) !!! CHECK for left over "<" ">" as they can screw it up. <--- that was the issue Also removed the string for HEX. everything is up and running on graphics end.

fcojesusrm Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 You have to work with DSDT.aml file in /Extra folder with Chameleon. You can setup different devices: ethernet, audio, video with this file without touch anything from files of Snow Leopard. There is a application that can help you: http://www.osx86.es/?p=610. Search about DSDT video from google. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/201730-solved-8800m-gts-512mb-sl-no-qeci/#findComment-1356392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haze295 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thank you guys sooooo much for the reply I have dsdt working and only 1 error when i pulled it from my board (fixed that). Cmos as well. I'll try the new kext and give that a shot and report back. I am using 64 though will these work ok or are there builds for Snow Leopard? aty_init.kext <-- Do I need HEX for that under boot? I also read up on 9f23 installer and it works with gt/gs stuff. Anyone ever try that or NVinstaller? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/201730-solved-8800m-gts-512mb-sl-no-qeci/#findComment-1356614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dparada78 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 aty_init.kext <-- Do I need HEX for that under boot? No. Remove your hex string if you are using aty_init.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/201730-solved-8800m-gts-512mb-sl-no-qeci/#findComment-1356631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze295 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Alright guys.... Here's an update: Tried the following... NVINJECT 64bit from kexts.com - no good NVENABLER - no good f92 from 10.5.5 ( i was desparate) - no good EFI - no QE/CI but all rez works - no good ATY_INIT.KEXT - kext loaded but no res or nothing working - no good I posted even a dump on osx project forums with nvenabler or inject (can't remember) I have a hdd right now running 10.5.8 that has QE/CI working. Is there anyway that information can be used to fix SL? I can follow directions on dumps or kextstats . I would really like EFI working if possible to keep it as vanilla as possible. Could it also be my DSDT file? At this point I want a fully working video system as 64bit SL is blowing past my 10.5.8 install. I have no problem "donating" for someones time , knowledge, and hard work. I am upping my paypal price to 30.00 for a working graphics setup as vanilla as possible. I am a grown adult and know when i've been licked and don't have a lot of funds but willing to really put money where I feel it's deserved.

Haze295 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 I am currently now trying out if it's possibly 10.5 efi VS 10.4 VS 10.3 EFI Quick question... I have in my bootlist <key>Graphics Enabler<key> <string>yes<string> Do you use "yes" or i've seen "Y" under string. would that mean it's not actually using Graphics enabler cause i used the wrong answer? Also, do I need to type GraphicsEnabler=y on chemelon boot? Maybe it's something that stupid?
