cantyjeffrey Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey ladies and gents.. So I ran out today and purchased a Nvidia GTX470 upgrading from the 9800GTX+ which was in the original Lifehacker build after doing some extensive research on here, it looked as though it was supported. Needless to say, I followed the massive fermi post on the forums and when I restart into SL the resolution is skewed and the device is just a generic driver it seems. When I was doing this, I got an error saying that the drivers were installed incorrectly, so that might be a problem, but anyways, my real question is this, I guess.. If I can't make this work using Stell's v3 installer, what are my best options for installing this from scratch. As in, wiping my installation and installing directly from the CD... Would this be a better option? Anyone experienced with the lifehacker build and stell's installer/upgrading from the 9800GTX would be GREATLY appreciated! I have work to do tomorrow and I think I just [bleep]'d myself. Thanks in advance, I think my specs are in my signature. -Jeff Also, if anyone could provide a "n00b" approach to installing the latest Chameleon as I hear there are lot of graphic improvements, that'd be appreciated. I'm not sure what version of Chameleon stellarola's v3 installer used, but I could never have the apple boot screen display in 1920x1080 so it'd be nice to have that be taken care of too while I am at it. Sorry in advance if this all is posted somewhere, I don't expect a full on tutorial - I am at a loss as to what I should be searching for on here. EFI and Kext and DSDT are all words that scare the eff out of me. Haha. Any links would also be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantyjeffrey Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Nobody with any ideas? I am trying to do a retail install now via the USB drive and I get a panic I am guessing because it is loading the old kexts for the 9800GTX and I have the GTX 470 installed. Would appreciate ANY ideas at this point. It's 3AM and I have work to do tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
