Huckleberry Pie Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I know there are a lot of people who are asking the same question, but can anyone help me with getting my GT240 to work properly on Leopard? I've just upgraded from an 8400GS, and now I ended up having trouble with my Mac. At first the system hangs up on boot after I've swapped cards. After performing an emergency boot using an iDeneb installer (you know, the rd=disk0sN trick), I managed to get rid of the existing kexts that are causing it. The system now boots up, albeit with only base video enabled and with no acceleration whatsoever. I tried forcing the graphicsenabler via the plist, but it doesn't seem to work as expected. System specs are in my sig, but ATM I'm using an Nvidia GT240, 1GB GDDR5 variety from Inno3D.

Well, that's a bit of a problem, although I do have plans on getting my hands on a Snow Leopard installer. But I'm certain that it can be done on 10.5.x.
