Hello,

 

I followed a guide (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1338125) getting my BFG Nvidia GTX 295 Dual-PCB to work, and it does, however, it completely lacks OpenGL acceleration (tested it with GLview, benchmarked horribly for 1.8GB of video RAM), and I cannot change resolutions without editing com.apple.Boot.plist. I also have a problem with severe flickering in the App Store and with the mouse cursor in general (something having to do with the frame buffer). I have looked at this (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=259485&st=20) page as well, and I think the instructions are close, but not quite what I need.

 

I am not using any special kexts for the card, all the NV*.kext stuff is in /System/Library/Extensions, and it is enabled via EFI string in the apple Boot plist.

 

My Boot plist:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32@60</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
       <string>(its a really long string of characters i removed for cleanliness's sake)</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Also, as a semi-related question, would it be safe to force my architecture to 64 bit? I am pretty sure my Core 2 Duo E6600 is 64-bit.

 

Please help!

Umm, i downloaded EFI Studio, and my GTX 295 isn't listed anywhere

 

EDIT: I see a driver for the single PCI version, will this work with the dual PCI version with the correct EFI string?

 

I am not sure about that.

Why don't you clone your working version of hack into another partition & then risk it?
