morose7 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi there I've used Tonymac's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install a retail copy of OS X, below is my system information: <<< System Summary >>> > Mainboard : Asus P5G41T-M LX2/GB > Chipset : Intel G41 > Processor : Intel Pentium @ 3200MHz > Physical Memory : 8192MB (4 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM ) > Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS > Hard Disk : Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 ATA Device (1000GB) > Hard Disk : BUFFALO HD-PCU2 (320GB) > DVD-Rom Drive : Toshiba-Samsung CDDVDW SH-S223C > Monitor Type : Dell Computer DELL SE198WFP - 19 inches > Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Adapter > Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate Professional Media Center 6.01.7600 (32-bit) > DirectX : Version 11.00 The problem is that when I install os x, and Chimera, it boots at 1024 x 768, I have no other options to display. As I understand it I need to edit the geforce driver with System, Library, extensions, the NVDAN kext, however when I get access to the plist, I can't edit it. Also, installing the Enabler or the driver package doesn't work for me. Additionally, the safari and Firefox crash on Youtube, the only browser that works effectively is Opera. As for sound only voodoo kext works. Installing the kext for ALC887 does not work, so the volume can never be adjusted properly, and under voodoo the volume has to be adjusted through the speakers.

NVEnabler should fix your video which will then fix YouTube.

Dellmantt Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I was told that you could only install with 4GB's of RAM, and then after you install, put the other 4 back in. I read it that the install is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
