SqueakyMac Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am trying to get some kind of readble video display on my new install of OS x86. My computer: eMachines 770, 2.4Ghz Intel P4 (SSE2), 256mb ram, 80gb HD (20gb partitioned for OS X) Display - GeForce4 MX 440 or onboard Intel i845 I understand the i845 is unsupported past 10.4.1 - but I can't get anything through the GeForce card AFTER I have installed - the installer is in full lovely colour, but a boot hangs when the monitor is plugged in through the card. The boot continues when plugged in to the onboard socket - but the colours are grey, grainy and unreadble. I have installed 10.4.3, 10.4.8 and 10.4.10 - with Natit, Titan and AGPGart enabled and still nothing. What can I do - I had a look through the Chameleon trunk list (found in the Nvidia sticky tutorial on this list) but my card is not listed. Can someone please just tell me, can I get this card to work? If so how (step by step please, assume I know nothing, as I get lost half way through the nVidia tutorial) OR is there a way of making the i845 work, preferable in 10.4.10? BTW when I use Natit or Titan, I get this error: NVDA: start (display) <1> NVDA: start (display) <1> failed Would a GeForce FX5200 work instead?

SqueakyMac Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bought a GeForce FX5200 on eBay for about £10 - works perfectly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
