jsfullr Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I am running 10.6.4 (Vanilla) using a GeForce 210 graphics card. Its fully working however in order to use DVI, I need to boot using VGA then once in the system I can simply plug in DVI and it switches to that. If I restart with the DVI output being used it wont be able to boot back into the system as it just hangs with the blue screen. Is there anything I can do so that I don't need to plug the VGA cable in every time I need to reboot? (my theory is that maybe there is a preference on the computer that's causing the system to want to use the VGA resolution at boot and it doesn't update that preference once I've changed into DVI?) Anyway that's probably completely incorrect, but any help would be MUCH appreciated! ----------------------------------- Motherboard: Gigabyte G41-ES2L Graphics: GeForce 210 512MB (Device ID 0x0a65) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227404-geforce-210-question-1064/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Atze Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I´m using an Asus geforce 210, but i don´t have your problem. My problem is that the card is very slow. you got the same? board is GA-P55M-UD2 - 10.6.4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227404-geforce-210-question-1064/#findComment-1532184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSN Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Your NVCAP value is most likely incorrect. For that you need to search for Geforce 210 NVCAP value, use the EFI Studio with the GTX 260 or 275 as a starting point and add the NVCAP for the 210. This will write out a new com.apple.boot.plist that has the device-properties for a correct NCAP setting. You could then use two videos and the HDMI output. Google for a Geforce 210 NVCAP or use this one that its for a Geforce 220 (same thing). NVAP for gt 220 BAAAAAAAAQAGAAAAAAAABwAAAAA= BAAAAAAACQAGAAAAAAAABwAAAAA= seems to work too Regards.

S3Atze Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This sounds complicated to me! How come my 9800gt and a 9500 work right out of the box? what i don´t understand is why in system profiler the card is reported correctly, nevertheless it is so slow. By the way all the outputs (VGA, DVI, HDMI) work.

seahawkwest Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sorry for the offtopic but you are talking about nvidia geforce G210M or it's another graphic card ? I have iatkos s3 with nvidia geforce g210m and i can't activate qe/ci on this card. Sorry, if you are talking about another graphic. Regards Seahawk.

ltbs Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I was able to get my GeForce 210 (NOT M) working with GraphicsEnabler=Yes without a hitch on 10.6.3 and then upgraded to 10.6.4 My question is if the upgrade that Apple has put out for graphics will work without any issues?

karyo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 use this.. i got all of 210M feature vram=512MB many 3D openGL run smoothly dual monitor with auto detect display CUDA driver injected you need: 1. NVenabler 2. NVinject 3. NVHal50 4. NVresman thats it.

S3Atze Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 @ RSN: I found another topic (here), where you wrote that one should edit the NVDAResman.kext. I tried all of this, but no luck. When i start in verbose mode i can see something like "NVDANV50Hal.kext registered and loaded". Does that mean the correct driver für my Geforce 210 has loaded? Why is it then so slow with openGL, quartzextrem and what else is there...?? I´m getting crazy with this graphics card! @ karyo where did you put the NVinject? S/L/E oder Extra? What NVenabler do i need? NVHal50 and NVresman are already in S/L/E Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227404-geforce-210-question-1064/#findComment-1533242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unique method that i could run snow leopard on my laptop was using iatkos s3. This method goes with iatkos s3 ? And can you tell me the process if you can. Thank you in advance and sorry for my english.

djmister Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Would really like it if RSN or Karyo could reply... Been spending a lot of time doing this... -Used your NVCAP in the EFI Program for GT210 -Generated String using EFI and put it inside boot.plist in /Extra -Manually inserted device id's inside of the three kext in my s/l/e folder (hal40,hal50,nvresman) (then Rebuilt my links) Computer is stable... but, not getting Graphics card options in System Settings/Displays or seeing graphics card properties in the system profiler I did many variations with nvcap numbers and boot files etc. etc. and believe I am using the proper string format for device id in the kext's (info.plist) files Any other ideas? I thought this was the EFI string approach which means I don't need *additional kexts* or DSDT patching...

Null22 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 For all thats need qe/ci on this card, update the bootloader with this (built by me), and insert into c.a.b.p this code: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> That's all. Your G210 should work now, perfectly (My G210M works perfectly). System Profiler Screen: The rom inside the Graphics Card is now correctly read. Rodomar705. EDIT: By the way, anyone have hdmi audio on this graphics card? I can't enable it, either with voodoohda (the audio card on the vga is detected, bui i can't hear sound)...

I can't enable it, either with voodoohda (the audio card on the vga is detected, bui i can't hear sound)... Sorry for my english, i'm italian Hey Rodomar, Thanks for your response and your bootloader attachment. However, I did get my card working using a preset .plist from EFI Tools 1.1 To make the BFG GeForce GT210 512MB work I made sure to: Add device ids to the -NVDANV40HAL.kext -NVDANV50Hal.kext -NVDAResman.kext (Even though when I watch the verbose boot it seems to only load NVDANV50Hal) Used the Nvidia GeForce 8600 512 mb preset in EFI Tools to inject a hex string into my Extra/boot.plist file and it worked.... my card is displayed as: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT: Chipset Model: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0a65 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT OpenGL Engine [EFI] Displays: iH282: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported Television: Yes H243H: Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported But, as you can see I have dual monitors each with high resolution... and everything visually works well on my computer... streaming movies... editing video... etc. etc. As far as your sound through HDMI issue. There is another post around here somewhere where RSN responded with a modified VoodooHDA.kext which seemed to fix that problem. I only use the newest AppleHDA.kext to get my internal sound card functioning. <--- Happy and educated *slightly* due to these forums!

nfsking2 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I am running 10.6.4 (Vanilla) using a GeForce 210 graphics card. Its fully working however in order to use DVI, I need to boot using VGA then once in the system I can simply plug in DVI and it switches to that. If I restart with the DVI output being used it wont be able to boot back into the system as it just hangs with the blue screen. Is there anything I can do so that I don't need to plug the VGA cable in every time I need to reboot? (my theory is that maybe there is a preference on the computer that's causing the system to want to use the VGA resolution at boot and it doesn't update that preference once I've changed into DVI?) Anyway that's probably completely incorrect, but any help would be MUCH appreciated! ----------------------------------- Motherboard: Gigabyte G41-ES2L Graphics: GeForce 210 512MB (Device ID 0x0a65) Use GraphicEnabler instead of any other injector. With the latest version of Chameleon or AeserBLN, the card will be recognized by Mac OS, then, enjoy it. BTW, a Geforce 210 works perfect on my DFI P55-T36 & i5 760 based HTPC.
