wcombs Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Installed Lion on my Dell Optiplex 380 using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] usb created from retail 10.7 dvd. Using PCIe Nvidia 7300GT 512mb but can only get it to work at 1024x768 without driver support. Tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with no dsdt, as well as extracted and patched dsdt, and box still loads but without nvidia driver support. With graphicsenabler=yes no change. With EFI string or NVEnabler kext it almost loads, screen goes grey with mouse cursor but then a few seconds later goes black with a white cursor and seemingly retries in a loop, flickering. It seems the EFI string and NVEnabler methods are working and finding the card but maybe the Lion nvidia drivers aren't hooking up right? Thanks in Advance!

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yes it should work in 32-bit mode, 64-bit driver support for 7xxx series cards was dropped in 10.6.3.
