RamosDevil Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm having trouble enabling QE/CI in Snow Leopard 10.6.6. I have a GeForce FX 5200 256MB PCI card. The system recognizes the card, but I cannot enable Quartz. I know the card is capable. I used a package installer (geforce 5200 installer .mpkg, linked from somewhere on this forum) which installed the geforce kexts and titan. QE/CI are still not enabled. I have read that I need to put my deviceID manually into some kexts, but cannot find a deviceid key in those kexts (notably, geforce.kext). Does anybody have a solution?

RamosDevil Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Install Leopard, Snow Leopard does not have drivers for this GeForce. There's no way around it? I'm trying to avoid reinstalling as best I can, as I've already invested a ton of time (and aggrevation) into this installation! Trial and error, I suppose...

Cerastez Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have never tried it with snow leopard, but this method worked for me in a computer running 10.5.8.

mickyd110011 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 There is no support for Geforce 5 FX cards in the nvidia drivers since 10.5.6. i have the nvidia geforce fx5200 agp 256mb, and QE/CI works fine in 10.5.8. try either Natit or Titan. these .kext files will activate nvidia cards, and give you qe/ci as well. try either of these, repair permissions, then restart to see if the mouse has a shadow (thats tells me it worked). good luck.
