intmain123 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 hello everone, I have just installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on my PC. It works pretty good, network and everything -- if I remove the nvidia drivers (/S/L/E/NV*). I am currently running the 10.6.0 legacy kernel, but I have tried it with the 10.4.0 as well (10.6.4 patch, respectively) on my AMD Athlon something. I went from EFI strings to DSDT patching to GraphicsEnabler -- the same thing, namely super-laggy graphics (including mouse + keyboard input), impossible to use. If I remove the NVidia drivers again, everythings works fine (except CL/QI of course and at 1024x768). I've got a GTX260 in my PCIe slot as well as an onboard NVidia GF 6 or sth. Might that be the problem? I don't really know, as I've tried to turn off the onboard thing, but I could just set the shared mem size to 'disabled' in my BIOS (the graphics are still the same though). I have done a retail install, having just added fakesmc, AppleNForceATA, nForceLAN and removed AppleUpstreamUserClient as far as kexts go. I am so desperate, having installed this thing like 10 times again and again to try all possible combinations of kexts, MacOS updates and kernels. in search for help, intmain123 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/242485-weird-snow-leopard-graphics-bugs-nvidia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

intmain123 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Google 'guide for all nvidia boards'. hey thanks for your reply! I've tried that injector stuff too it just finds my GTX, injects the strings, and then says: "probe fails" (stills opens up the graphical interface and has the bugs though) I've also tried netkas' injector for ati & nvidia cards, it's still the same (just no "probe fails").

dothacker Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 how many CPU cores are you using? (check your system profiler) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/242485-weird-snow-leopard-graphics-bugs-nvidia/#findComment-1619912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
intmain123 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 hey dothacker, well, I've got an Athlon X2 something, so two....yeah, system profiles says the same (num of processors: 1, total number of cores: 2). I already tried booting with 'cpus=1' if that should be a problem... EDIT: trying to do a full 64-bit install, maybe that will fix this stuff Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/242485-weird-snow-leopard-graphics-bugs-nvidia/#findComment-1619916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The messages "Probe fails" and "Display family matching fails" does not necessarily mean that your main display will not work.
