mulletman13 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey all, Installed a completely vanilla installation of 10.7, and am running one giant snag. Whether I use NVEnabler, GraphicsEnabler=Yes, or an EFI string, I receive a white screen with absolutely no response or cursor upon boot. I am hooked up to my card via DVI. Does anybody have any advice on where to proceed from here? Nearly all of the tutorials/tools are 10.6 specific, and I'm unsure on what will work with 10.7. The card worked perfectly up until 10.6.8. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263328-512mb-9400gt-boots-into-a-white-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanbk168 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Same here... I did a vanilla installation of Lion GM using xMove with SL. Using SL, install the Lion GM, then reboot and use xMove to create an installer partition. Then, using Chameleon, and boot into the installer to install a clean Lion. Boot into Lion but no QE/CI because Chess game does not work and iMovie does not work. I have a Winfast Leadtek PX9400 GT 512mb Nvidia graphics card. Tried to inject EFI strings, no reaction. Tried Graphicsenabler=yes, no reaction. Tried NVenabler.kext, it gives garbage graphics. Tried NVenabler 64.kext, same thing... No luck with the 9400 GT card. Maybe going to try other ways... any idea or help? Thanks.

mulletman13 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 After adding my device ID to NVCDANHal50.kext, and setting 'GraphicsEnabler=Yes', the machine gets through the verbose boot cycle, only to arrive at a completely solid white screen. I have not seen anybody else having this issue; what could it be related to? Also, does NVEnabler require GraphicsEnabler=Yes to be loaded? After adding dev ID to the kext files, I installed NVEnabler in the Extras folder and it was not loaded. Hrm? Update: Here is (seemingly) the problem NVEnabler is running into.

UnderOath777 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I've got the same, but when mark GraphicsEnabler=No, and install NVEnabler64, all working good. enjoy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263328-512mb-9400gt-boots-into-a-white-screen/#findComment-1726888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanbk168 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have given up on 9400 GT card... bought myself a cheap ASUS EN210 512mb card and installed it.... it works with QE/CI (see attached picture). I'm not sure why 9400 GT cannot work with EFI strings on Lion. 9400 GT can work in Snow Leopard and Leopard but not Lion. It can boot but no QE/CI. For Asus EN210 512mb, I use GraphicsEnabler=Yes and EFI strings in com.apple.boot.plist. I'm not sure whether it is related because before I get QE/CI, it boots into Lion, I use DSDTSE in Lion to get the DSDT.aml file. Put all of them into the Lion/Extra folder and then reboot.... I also add in the npci=0x2000... it works... now I have QE/CI and I was thinking of selling away the EN210... luckily, I tried again today and I'm happy now... The next project is to make EN210 works in Leopard... if not, going to delete Leopard and free up my hdd. I did not use any NVenabler.kext... It will not load with EN210... thanks.
