I saw it there too, that was the first thing i tried. I dont know if nvinject took or not how could i tell if it is actually working caue i didnt notice any change, i know the plist is being used because when the graphics enabler is set to yes i get a kp on boot.

 

The other thing is this is Snow Leopard server, i think i might throw Snow Leopard on another partition and see if i can get that working there.

I'm having the same problem on a EP45-DS3L running cartri's .8 BIOS. The 7100GS ran fine under 10.4 and 10.5. I've tried NVEnabler, NVInject, EFI Strings, NVCap in the boot.plist with aserebln's boot file, GraphicsEnabler in the boot.plist, and manually entering 0x016a10de in the NVDANV40 and NVDARESMAN kexts. I've never run into this with nVidia cards. I think it's a Snow Leopard thing. Maybe cartri has an idea.

Also same problem on Core 2 Duo with a GeForce 7100gs running SL 10.6.3 & 10.6.4.

Have tried everything I can find; GraphicsEnabler, NVinject, Natit, adding device id to kexts, downgrading kexts to 10.6.1 versions and updating them to the new 19.5.8f03 versions released by Nvidia, custom efi strings etc. But still no luck getting QE, CL or resolution.

 

Also think it's a issue with the changes in graphics backend for OSX 10.6.3 & 10.6.4 . Hopefully someone will find a way to fix this or 10.6.5 will fix the issue.

 

Will let everyone know if I find any solutions.

 

cheers

 I'm using the old version 10.6.0 --now upped to 10.6.2

 

but it works with the normal resolution 1024x768. i didn't use the latest version of mac. 

 

enabled NVenabler and injector. modified the kext (gave the version correctly) and now it has improved to 1280 resolution. 

 

Im on a 1080 acer lcd. Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 GHz - 2 GB RAM - Intel DG35EC MB. Geforce 7100 GS 256 RAM (but it is enabled for 128 RAM)

 

What can we edit here? 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

when you had 10.6.0, did it work under that? What did you use?

 

I got everything working perfectly on 10.6.0 but I dont have qe or vram apparently. normal usage you could not tell a thing but when I try to install final cut studio 3 it tells me i have no vram or quartz extreme. when i look in system profiler it tells me i have 256mb of vram. My waves plug-ins in pro tools also dont show anything as a result to it.

 

I need this to work!

If you don't need crazy recent horsepower; I have a Quadro FX P260 (equivalent to 6800GS) collecting dust.

I will ship it to you for free if you are interested.

 

I will test if it is recognized right now.

edit: It kernel paniks at boot, at least with graphics enabler. Didn't try other methods.

 

I have a Quadro FX 570 that corresponds to a 8500GT (256MB) I can send you for free if interested.

Big passive cooler; total of two slots. Works straight ahead with graphics enabler.

 

First to PM me gets it. Preferably if you really need it; ie the 7100 is your primary card.

The other ones (I have two p260) can be had for free as well; but I don't know for compatibility.

Sorry about the inbox. Fixed now.

The card have been serving in my media center Hackintosh; it supports CI/QE; all that jazz.

Full HD no problem. 256 MB vram by the way. DVI DVI.

I give it away and pay the postage; so sorry no more testing than that. It works; is recognized.

The Quadro P260 (GF-6800) does KP with graphics enabler.

[taken]The Quadro FX 570 (GF-8500) works perfectly. From my HTPC.[taken]

 

All I give away (separatly). (3 as there are two P260)

 

edit: so if anyone wants a Quadro P260 it's free ship include. Have only tested graphic enabler that KPs. Possible they work with EFI or some injectors.
