dan b Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 hello everybody. my problem is this: i have a nvidia 8500gt with 256 ram Low-profile manufactured by MSI. (DVI+HDMI) i installed Mountain Lion and my graphic card is working (GraphicEnabler=Yes) only on DVI port (recognized as GeForce 8500GT 256VRam) (i use dvi-hdmi converter) and black screen on HDMI port. i have a custom dsdt but no gfx injection and i use dsdt for hdaudio and other fixes. i tried to edit plist in nvda kexsts and nvenabler64 (not used since now) to add my devid (0x042110de) but no luck... any help will be apreciated. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281848-need-help-nvidia-gforce-8500-gt-256-vram/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Dev Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Cleaned it up a bit not completely. Injected your GPU into your DSDT. Remove GraphicsEnabler=Yes If you can not boot with this DSDT boot with: DSDT=No Note this is case sensitive. Also if you get a black screen that means that I have to apply another edit.
