Gringo Vermelho Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Look no further than /System/Library/Extensions. The GTX 660 has had native support since 10.8.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What are you trying to say? Please be more specific. Red camp does not release OS X drivers for their video cards. ... As far as I can tell, the Bitminter client is written in Java - I'm guessing it's probably a Java issue. Try updating/installing Java 7: http://www.java.com/download If it still doesn't work, try the Minecraft demo, installing it will trigger a Java 6 update, maybe Bitminter will work then. (There are probably other, easier ways to have that happen but I don't know any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Is there an echo in here? If your native language isn't English, look through the list of forums here and see if we have one in your native language. "red camp" meaning ATI/AMD, as opposed to "green camp", being guess who. ... I have a GTX 660. Grabbing the test version of bitminter right now, I'll let you know if it works. /EDIT - yes, as far as I can tell it's working fine here. If you have GraphicsEnabler=y in your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist you need to set that to n instead of y. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 No, because as I said nothing special is required for this to work. I don't have any files that you don't already have yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just go to the Applications folder and find TextEdit. Use it to edit the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Can I ask, do you suffer from some kind of mental illness? Try removing this as well: PciRoot 1 Don't forget to reboot. EFI Studio will not help you, the GTX 660 does not require anything special in order to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob5731 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes I do. I rebooted. I did not see the GPU widget in the software yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Okay, then I don't know what's wrong. Maybe you have removed or changed some system files in an attempt to make your video card work? You need to undo all modifications related to your video card and remove any kernel extensions related to video that were added by post-install tools.

bob5731 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I do not know what to do. Is working on my MacBook Pro just fine. Do I need a different video card. I have a Ati 600 pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have a Ati 600 pro. What happened to the GTX 660 that you mentioned in the title to this thread and in the first posting? ATI x600 Pro is an older video card and probably will not work well with Mavericks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hey, play nice. Besides he already has a Mac. Bob, I don't know why your GTX 660 doesn't work, but it should work. You should not have to switch video cards. Something is preventing it from working correctly and you should try to track down what that is. Tell me how did you install Mavericks on your PC, what tools did you use to perform the install? Or did someone else do it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm not familiar with myhack, it's possible that you may have selected something during installation that's now preventing your GTX 660 from working.

rlf Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm not familiar with myhack, it's possible that you may have selected something during installation that's now preventing your GTX 660 from working. Does anyone here have experience with myhack...? No experience, but I can look inside the installer package. In my mind, the proper ingredients for having GTX 660 working is to have vanilla graphics kexts and frameworks and to have the correct settings in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. Looking inside the myHack package, the only thing I can see that would affect those ingredients is a default org.chameleon.Boot.plist with a setting of GraphicsEnabler=Yes. The GTX 660 requires GraphicsEnabler=No. There are no graphics kexts or frameworks inside myHack. Kexts inside myHack: AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext FakeSMC.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext lspcidrv.kext myHack.kext There are no frameworks inside myHack.
