mattgfx Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Alright, im going to try and make it simple. I installed the geforce 9400gt card trying to make it work with hackintosh. When i go into boot off cd to install, it freezes and doesnt go anywhere except restart. When i remove the card and use onboard vga, i can install just fine. As soon as i put the card back in and try to boot to the installed osx,it freezes and does the same thing as before, as soon as i remove it, i can boot back in just fine INSTALL DISTRO:IPC 10.5.6 MOBO: GA-M51GM-S2G (rev. 1.0) http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard...?ProductID=2281 CPU: AMD 3800+x2 GFX: PNY nvidia GEFORCE 9400GT 1024mb I have tried using what ive read on the boards, and for some reason this stupid thing wont start. The boot screen where darwin is displays something like VESA 3.0 14mb (Nvidia) Any and all help is much appreciated. Please do not hijack my thread. If someone has an answer, we can all benefit from it Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206105-pny-nvidia-geforce-9400gt-1024mb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Jeremy Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've got a GeForce 9400 GT 512 MB and I was able to get it working with just Nvinject and the EFI string. You might try that!

mattgfx Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can only boot into safemode. My gfx card will go to blank screen if i try to boot with it. Ive used -f -v -x all at once even and still nothing. I may try that string though, does it matter if its 512 or 1024?

Lord_Jeremy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don't think it matters the RAM size, though you may need a different NVinject? Check out google.

Beerkex'd Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 He probably means NVEnabler (find it at the Project OSX forums) or Chameleon 2.0's built-in GraphicsEnabler (set to y in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist). my next question is. How do i get the spidf to work? Im using my 37 inch LG tv as a monitor and cannot seem to get sound to come out over hdmi. Not possible, the OS X nvidia drivers don't have sound support. Use the SPDIF output on your sound card.

sanssome Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Matt: Did you have to make any mods to the NVEnabler Info.plist? Did you add your device id to the NVDAResman and NVDANV50Hal kext plists? Anything else required? I've done all of this for a PNY Verto 512MB 9400gt and still can't get it to be recognized properly. NVEnabler log says it's a 9400gt with 512 MB, but in system profiler it still claims: VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x042c Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 800 I'm stuck at 1280x800 and have no acceleration. This is under 10.6.6. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206105-pny-nvidia-geforce-9400gt-1024mb/#findComment-1629115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
