jksgvfjbhqzsvb Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 hi, I just installed MAC OS X Lion DP4 on my hackintosh and all work fine ! with one exception ... my graphic card. My GTS 250 is simply not recognized by the system (I just have a resolution of 1024x768 and impossible to change), I use Chameleon 2 RC5-r1000 to boot the system and i've tried to activate GraphicEnabler into the apple.com.boot.plist but it block the startup (just a white/black screen) I also tried the nvenabler.kext without result ( in the E/E folder or S/L/E folder ) also try the GTS 250.kext no more results I would then know if anyone knows how to run my GTS 250 512 MB (with QE/CI) in Lion DP 4 ? Or is it due to the fact that this is a Developers Preview or Chameleon, which is not yet ready for Lion? thank you to those who may take some time to try to help me. ( and sorry for my bad english ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258878-gts-250-on-lion-dp4/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoMuS Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...35&st=1480# Hi! I'm getting the same problem since dp2. See link above. I think this has something to do with our motherboards ( i have a p5ld2-vm ) because no one with our cards is having this kind of problem. Is your system overclocked? Mine is, so maybe we can address the problem by removing hypothesis.

YoMuS Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I have found a solution. Just swap the kexts AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext from the Snow Leopard (10.6.7) and the desktop just loads fine. I think we're gonna have to upgrade our motherboard, since it looks like they're removing support to our chipsets. Bye!
