Now check 3 kexts; Geforce.kext, NVDAResman.kext, and NVDANV50Hal.kext; their version should be such as; NVDANV50Hal 1.3.4.0 (256.01.00f03) now edit the NVDANV50Hal.kext, add device info; <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string> 0x10c310de&0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x019010de&0xfff0ffff 0x040010de&0xfff0ffff 0x042010de&0xfff0ffff 0x05e010de&0xfff8ffff 0x05f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x060010de&0xffe0ffff 0x062010de&0xffe0ffff 0x064010de&0xffe0ffff 0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff 0x086010de&0xffe0ffff 0x08a010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0a2010de&0xffa0ffff 0x0ca010de&0xffe0ffff </string> My kext here; NVDANV50Hal.kext.zip Now install cuda driver 4.0.x from nvidia.com, Last thing; this card is new and boot loaders have no idea; So, compile chimera from http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleo...ranches/Chimera from terminal; svn co -r HEAD http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon Mine is Chimera 1.3.0 r780 as I have compiled; 1-Suppose that your installation is on /dev/disk0s2 - Install boot0 to the MBR: sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 My boot0; boot0.zip DANGER, be sure what you doing here!

My boot file; boot.zip U may have themes in Extra folder like Chameleon.
