It is shown as 3mb graphics in the display in about this mac. resolution is only 1024*768, no other options. im connecting through dvi port, my monitor supports a max of 1920*1080. my mobo is gigabyte x58a ud3r rev 2.

iExchange Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thank you very much sir, I found my pciroot to be 0, so I put that in and now it knows the name of my card correctly. But my resolution is still stuck at 1024*768, no other options. I think I need to change the "0xDeviceIDVendorID" part too, but there is no info.plist(this is what the kext content contains). Is there something wrong? EDIT: I have set hidden files to be shown, and there is still no info.plist inside.

iExchange Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Sorry, my bad... Well I just checked the two 100hals that i have: GF100hal and GK100hal. But none of them have the info.plist either... EDIT: Tried a chflags nohidden /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAGF100Hal.kext/Contents/Info.plist in case its still not showing. But it returns with "no such file or directory" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290084-fermi-card-gts450-not-recognized-shown-as-3mb-graphics/#findComment-1927035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iExchange Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have been looking and found that my NVSMU.kext is the only nvidia-related kext that has info.plist inside it.

I have a GTX550 Ti, and while I had poor resolution (1024x768 - yeccch) and no QE/CI in DP1, that was fixed merely by updating to DP2 (running DP4 now). Once I get audio running, I'll have no need for ML at all.

CaptSilver Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 DP1 is causing this on NVIDIA/ATI cards. Make sure you upgrade to DP2 or later.
