DaneC020 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 As title says, I have installed Snow Leopard but have no resolution options. I have been working to fix this solution for over 100hours now and finally have given up. I am running an Asus P5N-D Nforce 750i board with an Intel Core Duo and a BFG Nvidia 9800GX2. I have got the GX2 detected by the system profile by using NVEnabler, NVKush, Manually setting up my own GFC String and putting the hex in a device properties... No matter which method I use I am unable to get a resolution other than 1024x768. I wanted dual monitor support but for now I don't care anymore... I only post to see if anyone has successfully got the 9800GX2 working on Snow Leopard and could maybe share some info. I have had it work on Leopard prior to doing the Snow Leopard Install. Thanks guys. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223363-9800-gx2-no-resolution-options-tried-nvenabler-nvkush-gfx-strings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 did you try chameleon and GraphicsEnabler=yes ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223363-9800-gx2-no-resolution-options-tried-nvenabler-nvkush-gfx-strings/#findComment-1502039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneC020 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 did you try chameleon and GraphicsEnabler=yes ? Yes. I have tried all the basic steps I can think of. I tried several boot loaders, several kext, manually building strings, several injectors..... NVkush, NVEnabler, NVInject, GraphicsEnabler and the kext from the 9800 GX2 Leopard thread.

peach-os Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 did you use a distro or vanilla? you have a dsdt ? did you try this ? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=222913&hl= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223363-9800-gx2-no-resolution-options-tried-nvenabler-nvkush-gfx-strings/#findComment-1502128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneC020 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I appreciate the advice.. I did not know about the new kext from nvidia. I will definitely give those a try and hopefully I can get lucky. I think I need to reformat and reinstall before doing so to make sure I have the cleanest build.. I am running vinalla kext. I installed using myHack and a usb with a retail disc.

DaneC020 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 IGNORE THIS, IT IS WORKING: Well was a nice try... Same result though. I can see it in the System Profile with all the right properties but I got no dual mointor option in the system display preferences or any resolution choices. EDIT: Well after playing around with custom GFX Strings I have got it working. For any others out there who have my card these new drivers work great. Just install the drivers, create a GFX String with your PCIRoot using EFI Studio or Osx86Tools. Once you get that, add device-properties (key) and the hex(string) to your com.apple.Boot.plist under Extras folder. Repair all permissions, reboot with a -f (and optionally -v) and wait. If you don't have the same results, try changing your SMBois to a MacPro or MacBookPro. I am currently running the newest MacBookPro settings.. ****PLEASE NOTE**** This is a vinalla install with GraphicsEnabler OFF and no Injectors/Enablers. I am only using a String and the graphic drivers noted above. Thanks for all the help guys and good luck to any others who are trying this.

djclockwork Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am still struggling to get QE working for my 9800 GX2 in SL. I have the same MB as Dane - ASUS P5N-D 750i, I have an EVGA GX2. I got SL installed from a retail disc, and am at 10.6.3 currently. I installed the nVidia Drivers as this thread talks about, but any sort of graphic string I put in whatsoever lead to a blank screen - no video output from card. I got my PCI string from gfxutil in my working Leopard install. I have Chameleon "Graphic Enabler" off, no injectors, and my card id is not in my NVDAN50Hal or NVDAResman kexts. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope... EDIT: Still nothing...the only thing that does anything is NVEnabler64, and it leads to a KP...seriously, why did I have to choose one of the worst video cards to try this with Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223363-9800-gx2-no-resolution-options-tried-nvenabler-nvkush-gfx-strings/#findComment-1673407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djclockwork Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 nobody...? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223363-9800-gx2-no-resolution-options-tried-nvenabler-nvkush-gfx-strings/#findComment-1674664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 the reason that you got no answer might be that the solution is posted already - if it doesn´t work for you, you have a mistake in your strings - check them more than twice and search also for other strings. did you pm to Dane for the one he used?
