Please help with GTX260!

[ghiki]

Firstly, i´m slightly newbie in Mac. I tried with all possible ways (I think) and I can´t get working my gtx 260 (216sp).

 

Tried with ¨graphics neabled yes¨ in chameleon...and it worked, but whe I changed the screen resolution blue screen appears. Also tried changing efi strings (I may have done wrong) with no results. Anyone can help me?

If you are using the latest Chameleon RC5 and the GraphicsEnabled=yes switch then you should be fine.

 

However you have not given much info to go on... You should have no enablers in your /extra folder when using this.

 

I use an EFI string attached to my com.apple.Boot.plist file. You might be able to use my string, but this assumes you are on the same PCI root. Use at your own risk. It is better if you create you own.

For more information on using EFI strings go here:

Use the GTX280 graphics file as your base. You will need to update the PCI root and the graphics ram size. I think I used 00000038 (AAAAOA==) for 768M. Use a plist editor to edit plist files.

 

Hope this helps and good luck

I followed the tutorial, now I have desktop at 1280x1024x32, but I continue without graphic acceleration

 

There´s my boot.plist:

 

And my "Extensions folder" (I have nothing from NVidia)

 

What I´m doing wrong?

 

PS: I´m using Iatkos S3 v2

 

EDIT: I tried at this time, copying all of your plist except "device-properties"...no luck

 

EDIT2: And in my /extra folder have this:

[ghiki]

Now trying with this method...looks good: http://osx86.co/f19/guide-geforce-gtx-260-...-leopard-t4057/

GraphicsEnabler=Yes < Case sensitive!! works just fine with this card - on it's own with no other help !

 

You must have either, left installed a graphics injector kext like nvInject or ATI_init - or if you have removed the kext and then you have not cleared caches.

 

You have supplied absolutely NO information about the rig you are installing on and absolutely No information about what install method you have used !!

 

If you want help then you must supply this basic information.

 

Also your photos of the extensions folder shows nothing!

in terminal type kextstat and hit enter this will show a list of loaded kexts !

You do realize that installing chameleon on your real mac is a very bad thing...

 

This is why you get nothing.

 

You need to be testing your installation on the target hack not your macbook pro.

It is pretty funny

I saw the photo this afternoon and was (still am.) hoping it's just a stock image of macbook with a blue screen to represent the blue screen the user has on their hack!

I just hope ghiki comes back and confirms the above or I think I'll lose the will to live !
