wouter11 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi all, Today after a week tweaking with my specs everything is finally working fine, except the nvidia Gforce 6200. It's because i haven't found any working drivers, but i was searching the internet and there was some dude who got it working on youtube but he doesn't tell me how to do it. I used iATKOS s3 v2 installation with NvEnabler and NVInject. Although i can boot in normal mode no kernel panics or anything, but the card isnt working:(! So if someone got a driver or a fix to make it work please upload here. Another question, is it safe for me to update to 10.6.6? UPDATE :: [Already updated to 10.6.6 everythings working fine except the video drivers of course] System specs are: 1 Gigabyte RAM DDR2 Intel Pentium 4 @ 2,80 Ghz Asrock P4i65G Nvidia Gforce 6200 And my About this MAC doesn't work if i load it, i get a blue screen and then it returns to my desktop. UPDATE :: [still not working in 10.6.6] So 3 questions but the most important one is the one of my video card driver.

Greets, Wouter you have to add the nvidia hardware id into the nvdanv40hal.kext info.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249417-nvidia-gforce-6200-drivers/#findComment-1650257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouter11 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 you have to add the nvidia hardware id into the nvdanv40hal.kext info.plist Hey man, I already did that, and when i booted up the screen stayed black and the onboard vid card wasn't working anymore lol. So i reinstalled it. But it could be possible I used the wrong drivers, can you link me the right one or do you have the nvdanv40hal.kext for me with the right id? You have to use the vendor ID and device ID and create a 0x000000 right?

bertmannaustria Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 no qe/ci for me with that code... okay remove code, disable any graphics enabler, use this kext in /E/E ATY_Init.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249417-nvidia-gforce-6200-drivers/#findComment-1650784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrax Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi, thank's for your answer. To make things more clear: I've tried so far another ATI_Init.kext and also the one you posted but they give me dual monitor and resolution options but no qe-ci. nvenabler hangs when loadin video driver (light blue screen) GraphicsEnabler Yes in caBp gives black screen and now if I try with the dsdt code without any other kext I have black screen too, probably in my test before I was still having ATI_Init loaded in cache. So the only things working I have are with ATI_Init.kext only resolution change and dual monitor but still no QE/CI.

Gringo Vermelho Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If your 6200 is a 'turbo cache' model it will not work. Nvidia video cards that use "shared memory" don't work in OS X.

Gringo Vermelho Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 According to this wikipedia article, if it has 512MB then it's not a turbo cache card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_6_Series#GeForce_6200 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249417-nvidia-gforce-6200-drivers/#findComment-1652947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crizl Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Turbo Cache is not supported in all OS X versions or just in SL? Because I have a 6200 TC Pci-e and I have a perfectly working qe/ci enabled since Tiger with natit and never had to edit anything! But now I'm battling to get it to work on Snow Leopard...
