openGL disabled in PhotoshopCS4

[Tasca71]

Hi, I have the PC described below in firm with ideneb 10.5.6. My graphic card is a GeForce 7300 LE. During the installation, I chose the kext NVdarvin 256 MB. All seems work properly. This is what I obtain from the system profile:

 

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE:

Revision ID: 0x00a1

ROM Revision: 1.2.5 NVdarwin

Monitor:

Everything seems OK but in PhotoshopCS4 in preference/performances in the GPU area my graphic card is not recognized and, more important, the openGL function can not be checked off, all is grey.

In windows XP this function is enabled and can be checked.

What do I have to do to get the openGL?

Thanks in advance. Andrea.

I check the presence of the id of my GC in the ketx GeForce.kext, NVDANV30Hal.kext, NVDAResman.kext and in the injector NVDarwin.kext, my id is present. Then I try to add the efi string for my GC into the com.apple.Boot.plist deleting the injector clearly.

The openGL funcion is still missing.

Wainting your help, Ciao.

AFAIK Photoshop uses CUDA for that. No CUDA - no acceleration in Photoshop. The card you have DOESN'T have CUDA. there is the list of CUDA cards.

Thanks a lot 3.14r2. But why in PS CS4 in win XP can i check the openGL function?

3.14r2 was right. I bought a Geforce 8400 GS and the openGL is OK now.
