reedog117 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 So there's a new posting on the driver website dated 21 Jan 2006 saying that something's coming soon and to install 10.4.3 ... is there an actual ETA on the driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0nned Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dunno, i wish it was ready. Diegomax can u post here to calm down the nvidia users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanishingNerd Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I got the AGP drivers in all right but the nvidia drivers would not load up on 10.4.3, I have GeForce 5500 Waiting for the driver update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slip Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Resolution. Toshiba M30 Finally got 10.4.1 installed native after hooking up USB hard drive. Is there any success getting 1280x800 on a nvidia 5200go. Sounds like everyone is stuck at VESA resolutions for now with macvidia. Is it only the onboard intel graphics laptops that are get wide screen resolution. New version comming soon!!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape311 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Damn, I was trying to follow this whole guide on getting those drivers installed. I tried sooooo many times and couldn't do it, so I decided to look at these last few posts to see if there was anything new that I wasn't doing and sure enough, I saw the light. This just doesn't work 10.4.3. Ouch! There goes a few hours wasted. I get the same errors as DerFlash. By the way, anybody know what's up with the great news from macvidia yet? You'd think something would up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape311 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Are you running OSX 10.4.3 or 10.4.1? Drivers in 10.4.3 don't work yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentnight Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Are you running OSX 10.4.3 or 10.4.1? Drivers in 10.4.3 don't work yet. Yeah, i realized that after i posted. I looked at the posts above me and realized that it didn't work on 10.4.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape311 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yeah I went through the whole tutorial page for page and then saw one of the last posts thatthey still don't work in 10.4.3. That sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 ahh so the last 20 minutes of frustration about why I couldn't get this to work on 10.4.5 now makes sense....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staphyl Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have a GeForce PCX 5300 it's a PCI-e card. I installed the kext with my dev/ven ID and it won't boot regularly unless i do a -x or -v at the darwin screen. If i do get it to boot up in verbose mode it will say can't find IOApplePCIblahblah and it will say "Dependencies for the com.nvidia.free.driver or something isn't supported. Is my video card even near being supported since it is a PCI-e?? Plz help a DiE HaRD mAc OsX86 newb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvo44 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 ok i Think i installed it right it still says the same thing in the system properties wat really annoys me is the highest res i can go is 1024x768 ARGH how can i fix that? it says in the HCL that 6800GTs can do 1280x1024 with the VESA 3.0 driver. WtF@!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xownagex Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 So I'm guessing it wont work in 10.4.4 either....I just wasted 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xownagex Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 try passing it when u boot man, see if this works or not, then if it does you can just change it -x "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" platform=X86PC and if that works, just go into this file as root, sudo -s, or sudo bash /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add these lines, <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvo44 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 everytime i use sudo it says " i trust youve reveived the lecture from the local administrator blah blah blah" yeh that error. how can i stop that from happening ?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add these lines, <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> I've tried this and it didn't work, and neither do the Macvidia drivers. I get load/link errors, probably due to the AppleI386PCI.kext not working? But I can specify the graphics mode at boot each time and get 1280.

cyrana Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 And also, everyone knows that this really doesn't do anything other than make the card name show up in System Profiler, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xownagex Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 yeah dude, I just said the hell with it, it doesn't really use your acceleration or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hmm. That sucks! So there's absolutely no way to even get widescreen with Nvidia right now? And no prospects for real drivers? Gah. And the ATI camp doesn't look too much better either. Some cards work but can't change res, others don't at all. :/ So, I still don't know what a good solution is. I'd like a good gaming card, but not too expensive, but it should be comparable to my GF6800GT. And I need 1680x1050. Anybody help? Also, I'd need AGP, not PCI-E. And I take it the latest Radeons are only PCI-E, or at least the drivers are made for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u1m2 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have OSX 10.4.5, 256MB geforce 6600 pci-e and I added 0x014110de and followed all instructions on the macvidia web site but at the end no luck for me The kext does not seem to load - I checked it on about this mac - I did the following as well so no problem there; chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVidia.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ and when I try kextload -t Nvidia.kext this is the error message I get "6Nvidia is not compatible with it's superclass 17IONDRVF Framebuffer superclass changed?" FYI I ran disk utility to correct permissions as well. Has anybody encountered a similar problem, if so could you help me with mine? Edit : Damn, I should have read this thread all the way, I guess the drivers won't work under 10.4.5, can't I get anything higher than 1024x768 without this driver ?

crni Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 If your card is VESA 3 compliant you should add : <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> to : /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist but make sure (!) TV is not connected couse mirroring is on by default so you'll keep geting 1024x768 until you pull the svideo cable out...I have 7800GT and I was going mad until I figured that one...
