For Ethernet, run eno's nForceLAN.kext installer from here.........

I'll keep you posted need to read up again now not sure how to add these kexts lol I'll try the boot option aswell thanks for the reply.

:)

 

 

So what ive red so far is that you have to have osx86 tools to add the kexts.

 

i tried -v-x and the screen stayed black. Ive inticked all the drivers in the customize menu and re checked the boxes you told me to check and now i got nothin ?????

 

im gonna format the drive again and try a fresh install again :( just gotta figure out now how to get this osx86 tools on the mac side of things. Sorry to give you a head ache mate but i hate giving up on things this will NOT beat me

How much space do you have for OS X as the best time-saving solution is to set up two equal size OS X volumes.........this way you can keep a working version to clone onto your test volume and/or fix your test volume OS X system..........saves fresh re-installs if something goes really wrong........

 

1. Try swapping your display connector to the other port on your video card..........and if that does nothing, then

 

2. Boot with -s and at the prompt, type

mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext
exit

 

and see what happens........

 

To add kexts to /System/Library/Extensions, use Kext Helper b7 in OS X, or Transmac in Windows.........

Ok thanks will look forward to it thanks again

 

Try the following procedure:

1. Download and run the standalone 10.5.7 Combo Update installer

 

2.Then in Terminal, type:

cd /System/Library/Extensions/
ls

3. Confirm that the file list contains these kexts:

 

GeForce.kext

NVDANV10Hal.kext

NVDANV20Hal.kext

NVDANV30Hal.kext

NVDANV40Hal.kext

NVDANV50Hal.kext

NVDAResman.kext

NVSMU.kext

 

then type exit in Terminal and reboot

 

4. Boot into single user mode (-s option on bootloader)

 

5. Type the following commands:

mount -uw /
mkdir /GFXKext
cp -p -r /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce*.kext /GFXKext/
cp -p -r /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext /GFXKext/
cd /GFXKext/
ls

 

6. If all the NV* and GeForce* kexts are in /GFXKext/, then

rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce*.kext
rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
ls
exit
boot

 

7. If all the the NV* and GeForce* kexts are gone, then re-boot with -v -f

 

8. You will be using VESA mode so no QE/CI functions at present

 

9. Use OSX86Tools to install the following EFI graphics string (.hex file) for your graphics card

 

GTX260_896_216.zip

into com.apple.Boot.plist

 

10. Use KextHelper b7 to install the GeForce* and NV* kexts from the /GFXKext/ directory

 

11. Reboot with -v -f

 

12. For Leopard full CI/QE, check in System Profiler >>> Graphics/Displays:

 

Core Image: Hardware Accelerated

Quartz Extreme: Supported

Ok I've tried this twice now and my gtx folder is always empty so I can't do the last part. I copy and pasted the hex then went into the gtx folder to install the kexts and it's empty

 

I have modified my Terminal commands..........please try again............

Ok tried it again and nothin the terminal part went ok apart from geforce* I had to use just ge*. kext

I then boot into mac and run osxtools I click on add efi strings then open up the hex file you gave me then copy and paste into osxtools at the bottom

I then opened kext helper then highlighted all the kexts inside my gfx folder. Enter the root password and click easy install then reboot. On my hardware over view I click graphics the vendor is nvidia quartz extreme not supported , quartz gl supported. Hope I've followed your posts ok if not were am I going wrong btw my resolution is 1024x768

Post your com.apple.Boot.plist here in a Code Box and confirm that in /Extra/Extensions/ /System/Library/Extensions/ you have no graphics injector kexts.......

I dont understand you about the injector parts ???

Inside the Extensions folder there are a load off bundle files like

GeForce8xxxGLDriver.

bundleGeForce3GLDriver.bundle

 

Is that what you mean ??????

@ Master Mark

The NVDAResman (5.4.4) and GeForce (5.4.4) kexts are being loaded but not the NVDANV50Hal kext..........

 

Confirm that NVDANV50Hal.kext is still present in /S/L/E/
