manmal Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hi, i have read that nvidia gt540m (mobile) is pretty the same card as gt435m,a bit overclocked. I ask if anyone tried to patch existing gt435m kexts (and graphicspowermanagement kext) to get it working under snow/lion? I mean patching bin and/or modifying info.plist of nvidia related kexts. Please let me know if it may be done... Thanks!

You can edit the info.plist according to the kext below and correct the card ID: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1727037 And don't modify the original AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext.

I just only have the LegacyAGPM.kext installed into SLE folder.

fredyboy43 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i have a GT525M and so far i aven't found any kexts for it, the Gt 4xxM and Gt 5xxM don't have as much support as the Desktop cards, if you guys have a intel integrated graphics, you will have to live with it...

PookyMacMan Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I don't know if this topic is still relevant to the people who posted, but... Even if the GT 540M is similar to the GT 435M, the PCI ID will not be the same. You will have to patch the kext(s).
