I remember doing this a long time ago when I was running either 10.5 or 10.6.0.  Its been so long I don't remember what exactly I did, but I remember some of it.  Maybe you can fill in the details for me?

 

I booted Linux and extracted the rom bios from my graphics board, an Nvidia GTS 250, which I still have.  So I have this rom code, but no idea what to do with it,  but I do know I can use it to create an efi string to get my video fully working with Mavericks.  I also know I can create a DSDT.aml file with it, which would be even better.

 

Does anyone know what I need to do here?  I'm currently running 10.9 Mavericks using GraphicsEnabler set.

 

Also, I have the CMOS reset problem and no sound, but thats for later.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

i used OSX86 TOOLS  to extract efi string 

https://code.google.com/p/osx86tools/downloads/list
inject the hex string with chameleon wizard 
remove any enabler 
remove graphicsEnabler 
and it works fine 
except randomly OpenGL crash when using maps or photoshop  :(
