Hello,

 

So I recently updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.6, and as I booted up and logged in, I noticed that the Mac bar (top bar) had changed. NVEnabler caused Mac to freeze on reboot, thus I removed the kext. I guess this is what is causing the following problem.

 

The problem is that the Mac Bar is now white, rather than gray, and is no longer curved/transparent.

 

I want to know, how do I fix this and get the Mac bar to return to its previous state? Reinstalling NVEnabler kext just causes freezes again when I reboot, so obviously it's got to do with the graphics I'd assume.

 

Prior to the update to 10.6.6, I was running 10.6.2 where everything was working fine and QE/CI was enabled. Now, it is not enabled, thus I want to fix it.

 

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you have Chameleon installed, try the "Graphics Enabler" string. I think it supports your GPU.

 

Didn't seem to work.

 

The card is a NVIDIA 8400M GS 256MB, working fine in 10.6.2 but broken in 10.6.6

 

On the 10.6.2, the kext installed is 'NVEnabler'.

 

I am currently contemplating reverting back to 10.6.2 until I find a fix for this issue, because Mac without QE/CI is just terrible ;)

I'm going to say what I've been saying to other people. If you've already tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes and it doesn't work then may I suggest my simple custom EFI method HERE?

 

Make sure GraphicEnabler=No and all enabler kexts are removed. Let me know if it works for you.

I got my 8400GS and i7 system works perfectly with QE/CI/CL using [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] 3.4.
