macnxp Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hello all members, I have install OS X Lion (10.7) in my PC running on ASUS P5GC MX 1333 with Intel C2D E8200 2.66 Ghz and 2 GB of RAM and a PCIE 16x Nvidia Geforce 8500GT 512MB GFX card. The installation is ok. Lion is running, but my GFX card is (hardware id: 0x0421) not working properly. It shows only 3 MB and a single resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 60hz. No QE/CI. I have tried with OSX86 tools and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], also with NVInstaller v.55, but nothing worked. Audio is working fine though. So please help me resolve my issue. Thanks in advance. PS: I have Leopard (from Kalyway DVD) on my another partition which is working flawlessly with all GFX (same 8500GT) audio and network more than one year.

macnxp Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Regarding XFX 8500 GT 512MB on Lion 10.7 and also 10.7.1 my experience....... 1. Using GraphicsEnabler=Yes in boot.plist in chameleon and com.apple both do not work, sometimes screen crashes at boot. 2. Using Nvinject(0.2.1) via NVInstaller .33 no work. Also nvinstaller .41 and .55 all are failed. But NVInstaller .33 works fine on my leopard 10.5.6 . 3. Using NVinject.Kext (0.2.2) screen crashes at boot. 4. Using NVEnaler and NVEnabler64 both causes screen crashes at boot. 5. Inserting Device ID to info.plist of NVDANV***HAL.kext(s) and others cause screen crash at boot. 6. Using EFI string at boot.plist causing screen crashes at boot, which is working on Snow Leopard 10.6.6. 7. Tried to edit my DSDT and after that system wont boot, it freezes with the apple and the rotating gear screen. Now I want to know is there any process remaining to get this card working on lion?? Or is there any error I make to get my card working on lion ?? Anybody with the same card or other card can guide me to get my card work on lion. Please Help.
