hf206 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi guys, I have spent too much time to get QE/CI working for my 8600M GT on my Asus G2S Laptop (more than 20 hours reading forums and trying things). So here is the situation: - Retailed snow leopard install - 10.6.4 combo update + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.1.3 for kext and chameleon 2.0 RC4 by AsereBLN v1.1.9 - x64 boot kernel and system - NVDANV50Hal.kext is executed and loaded (information found into /var/log/kernel.log - My 8600M GT is partially installed because it appears in Graphics System Information panel as I get no QE/CI I am not able to use video tools (the aim of my hachintosh install). My desktop is displayed in 1024*768 - My /Extra/com.boot.plist contains nothings special If I try to add NVEnabler into/Exta directory and run Kext Utility 2.4.2 and reboot, my desktop is still displayed in 1024*768 and no QE/CI. So I have remove it after to do the next step If I try to add these boot flags at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky black screen before desktop&background display If I try to add these boot flags at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes PciRoot=1” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky black screen before desktop&background display. If I replace 10.6.4 NVIDIA kexts to 10.6.1 kexts, my desktop is still displayed in 1024*768 and no QE/CI If I replace 10.6.4 NVIDIA kexts to 10.6.1 kexts and add these boot flag at chameleon prompt : “-v GraphicsEnabler=yes” , I see nothing different in the startup lines, and I get a sticky blue screen before desktop&background display So what ? Please help me if you have a 8600M GT ! Note : My laptop was running two years ago a kalyway 10.5.2 with perfect QE/CI features so what have you done guys to get 8600M GT running in 10.6.4 ? Please don't give me links to posts telling by exemple put NVEnable it works ot put Graphics enabler, it works because it does not works !

Nghia Developer Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 @hf206 You could follow this guide here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=246728 A year ago I was dealing with 8600M GT from HP DV???? laptop, and got full QE/CI+native resolution 1600x900 I remember I did like that guide except that the newest version of Snow was 10.6.2 at that time.
