harmc0re Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi, Simple question here, I have installed Leopard on my Acer Aspire 7738G, I have enabled Quartz via OSX86Tools, and I can use my full 1600x900 resolution. But I have been trying and trying to install Snow Leopard to this machine, but I never got the fancy QE/CI stuff enabled. I do got full 1600x900 though... On the myHack website, I see: General Hardware Requirements:-Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core i5, Core i7 -Motherboard: Intel chipset with ICHx southbridge & ALC889a audio (GA-EP45-UD3R, GA-EX58-UD5, GA-X58A-UD3R, etc). -At least 2GB of memory (4GB or more recommended). -USB Keyboard and Mouse. (Apple keyboard recommended) -Nvidia 8xxx, 9xxx or 2xx series graphics card. -At least 40GB of internal hard disk space. So, this is it, no Snow Leopard for me? Do I have to give up now and be happy with Leopard, no QuickTime X, Safari 4 and other old software? cheers. EDIT: Thanks to JBraddock for the help, and JeremyLeroy96, for bumping the old thread, this thread is now solved! (Now I just need to find out how to actually mark it as solved...

Guest JeremyLeroy96 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd hate to bump an old thread, but have you got it working? I have the same situation. 1gb nVidia GeForce GT 130m. I was able to get my maximum resolution using natit. But the colors seemed off, animations seemed choppy, and it was only using 128mb of my 1024mb.

Sadly enough, I believe our videocards are simply not supported by Snow Leopard.

JBraddock Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Look here. Alternatively, you could use Chameleon RC5's Graphics Enabler feature. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/237843-snow-geforce-gt-130m-support/#findComment-1700048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, putting that chunk of code in post #381 in my DSDT should fix the issues me and JeremyLeroy96 are experiencing? Do we need additional kexts (NVEnabler, Natit, ...)? EDIT: I believe I need to add the fix in the graphics section of my DSDT? My DSDT currently contains AGP, IGP, PEGP and GFX0, where do I add the fix?

Without using any injector and DSDT fix, open your com.apple.Boot.plist in Extra folder and add the following line and see happens: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> If your laptop has two GPU cards, that's a different story and I don't know how to fix it. Use Chameleon RC5. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/237843-snow-geforce-gt-130m-support/#findComment-1709043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where do I need to do that? Forget DSDT for now. In your Extra folder, there is a file named com.apple.Boot.plist, open it and add the code above to it. See what happens.

See what happens. OMG! THAT WORKED! Now I only need to figure a way to make my GRUB2 bootloader chainload into Chameleon. I thank you soo much!!
