hanZen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I just bought the EAX1600XT today, because it should be one of the best cards for OSX86! But when I boot into OSX86 I only get a black screen and a cursor!? If I reinstall my old graphic card (GeForce 6800) I get the blue screen and correct things (no EX/CI ect.)! How can I fix this??? PLEASE HELP ME! NB: I noticed that when I had installed my GeForce 6800 in my PC it said 'NVIDIA 256' at the bootscreen, but when I switched to EAX16000XT, it only said 'ATI 16MB'!?!?

belgrano Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Maybe you should update your BIOS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21016-switched-to-eax1600xt-now-i-have-black-screen-with-cusor/#findComment-139137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanZen Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 If I boot with -x option everything works fine! Doesn't that mean that it will work, and that I only need to fix it in some way!?? Any suggestions - I'm a total noob in the OSX world!

tha_toadman Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 try to head over to the 'wiki' (at the top of the page) i'd bet you'll find a hyperlink to your 'fix' in the "components" section under 10.4.6 (for your specific card) good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21016-switched-to-eax1600xt-now-i-have-black-screen-with-cusor/#findComment-139154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyboy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Have you used the boris method on your kext files and repaired permissions maybe you should try 10.4.7 kexts and edit them the boris method im using them and they work just fine and dandy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21016-switched-to-eax1600xt-now-i-have-black-screen-with-cusor/#findComment-139155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
