Lenin22 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey Guys, I'm a long time reader that finally tried to build my own OSX86 machine. Here are the specs: Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz Intel DG33TL Motherboard Kingston 4GB DDR2-800 Seagate 750GB Hard Drive Geforce 6200L 256MB. Possible turbocache. I have 10.6.3 installed. Other than randomly taking a long time (2-3minutes) to boot everything works except the video card. It is detected, but there is no acceleration (thats QE/CI right?), and resolution is 1024x768. I used this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209776 I've Tried to add NVenabler, NVinject, and Natit kexts with Kexthelper from that guide, and it always results in a panic on the next boot and i have to reformat the PC. I also tried Graphics Enabler command in the apple.boot.plist and that didnt help either. Lastly, I tried forcing my monitors 1920x1200 resolution with the GraphicsMode lines, but it wont go past 1280x1024. Can someone pleae help me?

Lenin22 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I tired booting into 32bit mode. Hit TAB at Chameleon RC4 screen, got to the Darwin bootloader and typed arch=i386. The card was still not detected. Typing "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" in Chameleon results in a panic. Anything else I could try or am I doing something wrong?

Lenin22 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 EFI strings? Are you asking for the EFI strings for the video card? How do I get those? Sorry, this is my first mac build ever.

dothacker Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 no, i'm asking if you went that route already. use osx86tool or something... When i installed my 10.6.3 using iatkos, i used the EFI string option in the graphics driver area.

When i installed my 10.6.3 using iatkos, i used the EFI string option in the graphics driver area. Can you give me a more detailed method on how to do that? As in, where to click and what to type in. Also, I pulled a 7900GTX out of another system of mine and used the "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" line, which resulted in a blinking blue screen that just sat there. What does that mean? This didnt happen with the other card, I just got a kernel panic with the 6200.
