[Help] 8600m gt

[ferroch85]

Hi,

I've a 8600m gt 256mb and Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I tried a lot of installations for the drivers of my video card but every time I installed the drivers the system shutdown/reeboot stop to go. In that case I need to press the power button to turn off my notebook.

The question is: does exist a way to install the drivers (so also QE/CI) and fix the reboot problem?

 

Thank's

I'm not the only one with this problem, so if there is a solution i think that write the soultion can help a lot of people !! Or if there is not a solution, i think it's good reply "there's no solution".

 

Thank's

Hi guys,

 

I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my Asus G2S.

 

I'm running with 64 Bits kernel.

 

Every thing is fine except the graphic card 8600M GT.

 

QE/CI do not work.

 

I try EFI string, injecter....

 

Could you please provide us a really simple solution which works .

 

I need it to edit video so without QE/CI my hackintosh is useless.

Hi guys ,

 

I found a new untested method to get QE/CI on nvidia card.

 

Here is the link : http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/adv...a-graphics.html

 

My machine is in kernel panic because I tried two days ago another method. I need to repair my error and I will test this "new" solution.

 

Regards.

Hi guys,

 

here is my first success .

 

You need chameleon RC4.

 

Modify your /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist like that

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1440x900x32</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>PCIRootUID</key>

<string>1</string>

<key>USBBusFix</key>

<string>y</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

It works but hangs when connecting my HDTV with HDMI.

 

I will try NVEnabler

Trying to install SL from a Leopard system and need the GFX String for 8600gt 265mb for installing. Can i use the GFX String from my current Leopard or do I need to get a different one for SL?

I guy,

 

 

 

I have spent too much time to get QE/CI working for my 8600M GT on my Asus G2S Laptop (more than 20 hours reading forums and trying things).

 

 

 

So here is the situation:

 

 

 

- Retailed snow leopard install

 

- 10.6.4 combo update + [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 2.1.3 for kext and chameleon 2.0 RC4 by AsereBLN v1.1.9

 

- x64 boot kernel and system

 

- NVDANV50Hal.kext is executed and loaded (information found into /var/log/kernel.log

 

- My 8600M GT is partially installed because it appears in Graphics System Information panel as I get no QE/CI I am not able to use video tools (the aim of my hachintosh install). My desktop is displayed in 1024*768

 

- My /Extra/com.boot.plist contains nothings special

 

 

 

 

 

If I try to add these boot flag at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky black screen before desktop&background display

 

 

 

If I try to add these boot flag at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes PciRoot=1” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky black screen before desktop&background display.

 

 

 

If I replace 10.6.4 NVIDIA kexts to 10.6.1 kexts, my desktop is displayed in 1024*768 and no QE/CI

 

 

 

If I replace 10.6.4 NVIDIA kexts to 10.6.1 kexts and add these boot flag at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky blue screen before desktop&background display

 

 

 

So what ?

 

 

 

Please help me if you have a 8600M GT !
