Frogburn959 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I've only recently expereince this, when i start up my cursor will be a solid black if pinwheel starts it will just be a solid black circle, I dont know what to make of if, I'm currently running 10.6.2 retail on GA-EP45-DS3L more specs on my signature. I was thinking to just start over and restore from time machine or loader the installation disc and do some kinda recovery. any other thoughts?

mdnz01 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Probably not gonna work but it might have to do something with preferences... When you're on a different user account does the same thing happen?

Beerkex'd Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 any other thoughts? Check NVDAResman.kext and verify that your video cards device ID is present in info.plist. If not, add it.

Frogburn959 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Probably not gonna work but it might have to do something with preferences... When you're on a different user account does the same thing happen? Not sure, but I will create one this afternoon and let you know the result, thanks for the tip. Check NVDAResman.kext and verify that your video cards device ID is present in info.plist. If not, add it. Thanks Beerkex'd I will try that this afternoon to and report my results Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218714-mouse-and-pinwheel-are-solid-black/#findComment-1472233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogburn959 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 So this weekend I upgraded to 10.6.3 and broke my system, lost audio, I was at the point where I just gave in and started from scratch, Here's why this is interesting, nothing I did in control panel did this, I tried looking at NVDAResman.kext but i couldn't seem to understand what i was looking for I used text-wrangler to take a look, I will download plist editor next to double check, but to the point. I installed from retail 10.6 then, updated to 10.6.1 then 10.6.2, everything looked good, then I connected my blue tooth magic mouse to my system, and did some miscellaneous mac updates, after which i rebooted. I after the reboot my mouse icon was back to being black\blue, the only common factor I have here is the syncing of the magic mouse, also it does not happen every time if I reboot some times the icon is fine, do you think its still NVDAResman.kext, what should i be looking for, i.e. which string?

Beerkex'd Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Most people who weren't using VoodooHDA lost audio when updating to 10.6.3 because the new AppleHDA.kext handles supported devices in a different way. You can either use AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2, VoodooHDA, or hex-edit the new AppleHDA binary. But it depends on what audio solution you're currently using and what audio hardware you have. Your motherboard is a very popular Hackintosh platform so there should be several solutions out there. This info.plist from NVDAResman.kext with the relevant information highlighted.
