Help with GeForce 210 [1GB DDR3] [OS X 10.6.8]

Spr33 · June 29, 2012

Greetings,

I ended up setting up a hackintosh on one of my old AMD computers, and it turned out pretty nice, with just one exception; the computer was using an embedded video-card. So, I went out and bought a cheap GeForce 210 with 1GB of DDR3 VRAM, after hearing that it worked OOB somewhere, only to return home and realize that was not the case.

The system has always started up fine, but lacks QE/CI, so I was wondering if someone could help me get this card setup to work with Mac OS X 10.6.8 on an AMD machine using the legacy_kernel (latest, for 10.6.8).

I believe this card should work as there are many posts about it functioning with just the addition of an EFI string, and even a thread for it here, which I have followed to no avail. It should be noted that while following the EFI-string guide, I was not able to generate my own with OSX86Tools and had to copy/paste the original poster's string. A screenshot of the error which I received can be seen below:

Additionally, I receive the error below whenever attempting to enable Quartz GL with OSX86Tools:

After using Hackintosh2000's EFI-string I received the exact same results as before, a screenshot of the device-properties can be seen below:

The only things in this picture which are correct, would be the vendor (NVIDIA) and the device-id (0x0a65).

Now, after trying the NVEnabler64.kext I seem to have made a tiny bit of progress, as the device-properties window now shows the correct amount of VRAM. However, the device name appears as; "Unknown nVidia card" and QE/CI are still not functioning. A screenie of this may be seen below, please note that it only says "Copernicus" in the menubar because that it the only screen-shot application which I am able to use without QE/CI (Copernicus' screen-recorder performance is extremely terrible without QE, averaging at around 1-3 fps).

Additional information:

I am connecting my monitor via VGA, but I guess I can use DVI if it would resolve the issue.

I am booting in 32-bit mode, but can boot into 64-bit mode if it is necessary (though having tried this, I am pretty sure it is not?).

Some awful "OpenGL extensions viewer" results:

If I end up having to get a new graphics card, could someone please recommend one that is guaranteed to work on this setup? Preferably with graphics-enabler alone, but I wouldn't mind installing kexts, if I knew they would work.

Thanks to anyone who has actually spent the time reading my lengthy post and considered helping me on this.

QuartzGL is NOT Quartz Extreme! It's known as 'Quartz Extreme 2D' (see here) and it works only from Leopard and below!

For the Card, try to make a new EFI String (see here)

For OSx86 errors see here! (try to search with 'Ctrl+F' your error when trying to create an EFI String)

If you can't generate a new EFI String, i can generate it for you! Let me know!

P.S: Remove NVEnabler64.kext

Thank you for your quick response, but...

QuartzGL is NOT Quartz Extreme! It's known as 'Quartz Extreme 2D' (see here) and it works only from Leopard and below!

For the Card, try to make a new EFI String (see here)

I am aware of the difference between QuartzGL and QE, though, one should still be able to toggle QuartzGL on 10.6.8 via OSX86Tools, correct? That is not the case for me. In fact, pretty much everything I try to do with OSX86Tools results in an error, that's the main reason I added the picture. As for the thread which you linked to; I would love to try it (and I actually mentioned it in my post) but I just cannot use OSX86Tools ):

For OSx86 errors see here! (try to search with 'Ctrl+F' your error when trying to create an EFI String)
If you can't generate a new EFI String, i can generate it for you! Let me know!

I have visited that page a few times, but I could never follow the instructions, since my device does not have a hex file in OSX86Tools' resources folder. If you would generate an EFI-string for me I would be extremely grateful

I believe most of the device details are in the OP, but just in case I missed something:

Model: nVidia GeForce 210

VRAM: 1024MB (1GB)

Output configuration: VGA

P.S: Remove NVEnabler64.kext

I actually removed it as soon as I saw that it did not enable QE/CI :/

I'm really surprised at the level of support and quick responses in this forum, I think I will stick around and do my best to contribute. After all, I'm pretty good with Objective-C and ASM, but this driver situation is just beating the heck out of me. Thanks again giofrida.

You cannot activate QuartzGL in Snow Leopard because is too old (you can activate it only in Leopard and below). The error is appeared due to incompatibility of OSX (also i, if i try to activate it in Snow Leopard or Lion i get the same error, because OSx86 is compiled for Leopard and below!)

For the EFI String, you have only a VGA Port? (or also DVI, HDMI, ecc..)

Spr33 · June 29, 2012

You cannot activate QuartzGL in Snow Leopard because is too old (you can activate it only in Leopard and below).

That's strange, I thought I heard that it could be done via Quartz-debugger or OSX86Tools, and decided to see if it would work. Guess not.

For the EFI String, you have only a VGA Port? (or also DVI, HDMI, ecc..)

The monitor that I'm using right now only has a VGA port, but I have another one with DVI, VGA, and I think HDMI. I would like to stick with this one, since it is a bit bigger than the other, but I don't really mind as long as it works.

I wanted to know what ports has the video card, not the monitors.

Ahh, sorry about that... The video card has DVI, VGA, and HDMI ports.

Try this EFI String (HDMI may not work! I'm searching a new NVCAP!)

Sweet, thanks. I will try it and report back.

giofrida · June 29, 2012

If it doesn't work, try to add at boot the string GraphicsEnabler=Yes or try also to install these kexts (for some are working with GeForce 210)

Spr33 · June 29, 2012

Try this EFI String (HDMI may not work! I'm searching a new NVCAP!)

I tried the EFI-string, but oddly; it had no effect. Should there be something about it using the string in my Chameleon boot-log? Also; booting with VGA won't make a difference right? I heard that when booting with DVI, the system can retrieve more information about the card, though I'm not sure about this.

Just in case, here is my Chameleon boot-log:

Maybe i found the problem with the EFI String

1. Download this

2. Open terminal, go where you put the application 'gfxutil'

3. Then, type

./gfxutil -f display

4. Paste here the output (should be like this: DevicePath = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) )

2. Open terminal, go where you put the application 'gfxutil'

3. Then, type
./gfxutil -f display
4. Paste here the output (should be like this: DevicePath = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) )

Woah, I got some weird results; DevicePath = PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x4,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

I tried booting with GraphicsEnabler and the GTS 250 kexts, neither solutions worked. Below is a screenshot of my device-properties while using the GTS 250 kexts:

P.S: Remove GTS250 Kexts

I tried the new EFI-string, but QE/CI still aren't working. One weird difference, though, is that the "System Profiler" application now shows the correct amount of VRAM, but the wrong device name ("ATI Radeon HD 4870").

Should I boot with PCIRoot or npci flags?

giofrida · June 29, 2012

Have you deleted some kexts? Search in S/L/E the Nvidia kexts (NV100Hal, NV50Hal, etc..). Also try to boot with PCIRoot and/or npci.

And what version of Chameleon are you using?

I actually only have 3 kexts that begin with the letter "N," and they are "nForceLAN.kext," "ntfs.kext," and "NullCPUPowerManagement.kext." :blink:

I recall seeing an NVDANV** or something of the sort in there before. Do you think the kexts could be the issue?

I am using Chameleon v2.1svn r1819, if I should update I guess I could, though I did so recently.

giofrida · June 29, 2012

Yes maybe yes! If you haven't these kext i'll attach it here from 10.6.8 update! (Please wait)

giofrida · June 29, 2012

Sorry for the late response, i was busy. Here are the Nvidia Kexts from 10.6.8 Update. Install it, then rebuild cache, repair permissions and restart.

No need to be sorry, I will install them right away. I still wonder how they went missing in the first place though, maybe when I was running a driver-package uninstaller? (though it would be kind of weird to just delete the files) That's all I can really think of, since I know I have seen them before. Oh well, thanks a ton, I will report back with any progress.

EDIT:

Unfortunately, Installing the kexts did not help get the device working properly, even with PCIRoot=1. I still haven't had a chance to try npci, since I've been getting ready for a trip which I'm about to go on.

Should I have edited those kexts to contain my device ID? If anyone has any other suggestions, I would be happy to try them in a few days, and I will report back with any progress after that.

giofrida · June 29, 2012

Maybe adding the id solve the problem, try to add it in NVDANV50Hal.kext\Contents\Info.plist

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>
0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff
0x019010de&0xfff0ffff
0x040010de&0xfff0ffff
0x042010de&0xfff0ffff
0x05e010de&0xfff8ffff
0x05f010de&0xfff0ffff
0x060010de&0xffe0ffff
0x062010de&0xffe0ffff
0x064010de&0xffe0ffff
0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff
0x086010de&0xffe0ffff
0x08a010de&0xffe0ffff
0x0a2010de&0xffa0ffff
0x0ca010de&0xffe0ffff
0x0a6510de&0xffe0ffff <-- ADD THIS
</string>

So add 0x0a6510de&0xffe0ffff to Info.plist (the last string in the code box)

Hackintosh2000 · July 28, 2012

After using Hackintosh2000's EFI-string I received the exact same results as before, a screenshot of the device-properties can be seen below:

The only things in this picture which are correct, would be the vendor (NVIDIA) and the device-id (0x0a65).

.

Okay. Did you just copy and paste MY string into your com.apple.Boot.plist file? Or did you actually follow ALL my instructions and create your own EFI string? Copying my EFI string or someone elses is probably going to lead to failure most of the time. That is why I said this...

PS. I know some of you are going to be lazy so here is my EFI string. It should be one long string of characters. Line breaks were added for web presentation. There is no guarantee simply copying and pasting my string will work for YOUR setup.

I apologize if you actually generated your own EFI string and it didn't work... but if all you did was copy and paste my string then my only advice at this time is to actually generate your own EFI string for your setup. Also note that I tested my EFI string generation and insertion method out on 10.6.7. It worked fine; however, on 10.6.8 I got the dreaded pci configeration begin message. The computer I was hackintoshing is a friend's and I don't have access to it anymore. It was an old dual core computer and my friend is happily using it with just SL.

With all the stuff you are doing to your hackintosh the best course of action is to start over with a clean install, no extra video kexts, and GraphicsEnabler="NO." Try generating your own EFI string and injecting it. If that doesn't work delete the EFI string injection and try GraphicsEnabler="YES." Frankly you could try the GraphicsEnabler first on a clean install and if it doesn't work delete it and try the EFI string. If the EFI string doesn't work then move on to kexts. Use Kext wizard to install them and repair disk permissions afterwards and repair caches. You have to be very careful and methodical when doing all of this. I found an extra kext or GraphicsEnabler="YES" could mess up the EFI string injection. Do one at a time and if you've fiddled with it too much do not be afraid to do a fresh install. It takes less time to do a fresh install rather than chasing your tail because you forgot to delete one extra kext.
