8500GT Full Resolution but No QE CL in 10.6.3

[85734763]

Hello,

 

I have a MSI NX8500GT-MTD256EH GeForce 8500 GT 256MB that I bought from newegg at least 1.5 years ago.

 

I had it working under 10.6.2, then got a black screen when I updated to 6.3, so I had to restart the whole process of getting video to work on my hack.

 

I have followed some peoples ideas of copying older NVDAR files for S/L/E with no success. I have added my device IDs to everything I can think of, and edited the com.apple.boot.plist with my device ids, everything is fully recognized, I have every resolution option, but no QE / CL. This is an HDMI connection also.

 

I have read that the "OpenGL.framework" and "OpenCL.framework" need to be copied into my s/l/e from 10.6.2, if this is the case, can someone upload theirs and post the link to download them as I no longer have anything from 10.6.2 on my computer.

 

Also, here is how I copied my device ids into the extension files.. maybe i did it wrong?

for

 NVDAResman.kext
                       <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
                       <string>0x042110de&0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&0xfff8ffff 
0x028010de&0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x05e010de&0xfff8ffff 0x05f010de&0xfff0ffff</string>

 

I can confirm that that is my device id, just don't know if i did it right?

 

Also, here are the graphics related files I have in my s/l/e folder..

Geforce.kext
GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForceFXGLDriver.bundle
GeForceGA.plugin
GeForceVADriver.bundle
NVDANV40Hal.kext
NVDANV50Hal.kext
NVDANV50Hal.kext.bak
NVDAResman.kext
NVDAResman.kext.bak
NVEnabler 64.kext
NVinject.kext

 

This might also not be right because of all the different things i've tried, it might be messed up and I have to delete some things/am missing other things???

 

Here is what displays under graphics in system profiler:

Really hoping that this is a simple fix and I just missed something! haha..

Same here I've got a 8500GT 512Mb, and I can't seem to get QE/CL working with a HDMI output. Anyone?
