Pikkard Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi, Have managed to get a basic build up and running. Had to remove the nVidia GE 210 so am currently running off mdb VGA.For info, I'm using a Gigabyte G41M-ES2H mdb and have set the appropriate BIOS settings. My question is now how to add the nVidia. What is best practise to adding devices - bearing in mind I was never able to get the system to boot with this card in. I tried 4 loaders - myHack, Kakewalk, the guide on here and the man who shall not be named! The other devices, audio, LAN etc are not installed but I'm confident I can add these reasonably easy using the various resources on sites. Thanks in advance.

k3nny Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi, I don't know much about nvidia cards but you most probably will be able to boot with your card into safe mode by adding the -x switch at your boot loader. Functionality will be limited, you will only have software acceleration for example, but it should be enough for the start. From what I have read, OS X already has drivers for your card but it needs to be "hooked up". Try enabling Chameleon's GraphicsEnabler option. The utility Chameleon Wizard might be a good place to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikkard Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have tried the -x switch, but still didn't give me any joy of booting from the usb keys tho. Now I have a basic system running I will add the card in and give that a try.

k3nny Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Also add the -v switch to get verbose output and post the info you get. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
