neer2005 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 delete nvinject.kext or what ever you guys are using and follow this guide http://aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa...&thread=509 using the generic 256mb Nvdia card download assuming your running a 256mb card since it said that in your VRAM hope this helps solve that issue Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/215641-wrong-video-card-identification/#findComment-1449345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguel_79 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I am on the same boat. I am running a Gateway NX860XL with a GE Force Go 7900GS but my system properties on Snow 10.6.2 shows a Radeon ATI Radeon HD 4890. I've been searching all over and can't find an answer either. I will be waiting to see if anyone replies. UPDATE: 05/02/10 After searching everywhere I figured out I was using someone elses DSDT. So I reformatted, installed iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal PPF6 Final v1.1 and selected NVInjectGo as my video driver. Upon installation my resolution was automatically changed to 1920x1200. The only issue was that the memory was showing as 512 and I have a GeForce Go 7900GS 256mb and also QE/CI where not enabled. So I had to edit my NVinjectGo.kext, Geforce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext. I added my device id to all those. Also, I changed my IO Probe Score to '0' (default is 6000) on NVInjectGo.kext only. That made QE/CI work. After that, I searched around and found the proper code for 256mb memory (AAAAEA) and added it to the VRAM, total size key on NVInjectGo.kext. Also, I changed the model key to say my card's name. Everything is working flawlessly. VLC can now play MKVs with no problems. Hope this helps.
