Pismo Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Alright, I have an nVidia 6600gt PCI-E. I'm running 10.4.7, and I would like CI and QE. I know the macvidia project supports this card, but no 3D yet. The Mac Pro's shipped with nVidia, so can we or can't we use this driver? I've been checking a lot of post's and there was somthing about the Apple driver needing a newer kernel in 10.4.7? is this right? So is the 10.4.7/10.4.8 updates kicking around for hackintosh not including this kernel? I apologize if this has been covered, I couldn't find a thread for it.

virtuelben Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The future version of Macvidia's driver is very likely to support QE/CI and Open GL. You can't use Mac Pro's driver, it's been made for the Mac version of the 6600GT. Can't tell you about 10.4.7/10.4.8 updates Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29718-nvidia-is-it-working-or-not/#findComment-205008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Nobody has hacked a kernel newer than 10.4.4. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29718-nvidia-is-it-working-or-not/#findComment-205016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_187 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I read full accel is possible with the x1600? Is this easy? Does it have to be a x1600XT? Or can it be any X1600? Where can I find good info about this? It's so hard to get info and the big picture when theres 100 threads all having a little info, can someone try to give the big picture of it? tnx.

Where can I find good info about this? I call shenanigans! This thread is about Nvidia. How does that apply to ATI x1600 cards? For your answer, follow the Boris link in my signature. There is a manual patch in posting #1 and an installer in posting #3. They work slightly differently and different people get different results.

Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I would really love to see somethign fixed for the Nvidia cards. I have teh 6600GT, and it would be nic eto have QE/CI From the Macvidia website: MacVidia nVidia Driver 1.0.8Monday, 28 August 2006 We are happy to announce that we have released a new MacVidia driver version for you. This is the last release of our driver without QE, CI or GL support and we want to have a solid driver base working before we release our GLDriver.- Improvements are a lot, but to note: Several bugfixes and improved compatibility. Dual monitor / display engine added to the driver core, but not enabled yet, we want to test some other things first. This version is coded in a totally different way, so, when we release our GLDriver at some moment in future, you just drop it there and you will have full GL support.
