ogynche Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hello, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on GA P35-DS4 and everything works properly except the video. I have GeForce 8600 GT, as you can see on the picture. I tried every possible graphic kext for NVidia, tried EFI strings but nothing helps. The max resolution I get is 1440 with no video effects. Where can be the problem? Thanks in advance. Picture Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208193-snow-leopard-and-geforce-8600-gt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermx3 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 try using the graphics enabler option with chameleon and your enabler kexts removed if you havnt yet, made my 8600GTS and 9600GT work in snow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208193-snow-leopard-and-geforce-8600-gt/#findComment-1390619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogynche Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 This doesn't work for me mates. After loading I get a black screen, and now can't even go to safe mode to fix that. Any ideas why is that and how can I fix it? Thanks a lot!

dawncobra Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Same thing for me, did you find a solution? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208193-snow-leopard-and-geforce-8600-gt/#findComment-1460146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentonn Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Same thing for me, did you find a solution? Try swapping ports on your video card where the monitor plugs in. That might work. It was fix with the leopard distros and it worked with my 8800 GTS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208193-snow-leopard-and-geforce-8600-gt/#findComment-1470573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
