nVidia cards natively supported?!

[joe75]

STFU && WAIT.

 

Couldn't of said it better myself

[giandal]

O'oh.. seems like omni saw your post boris and decided to release his findings.

http://omni.starchaser.org/titan/

 

AND IT WORKS!!!!!

IT............................. JUST........................... WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

THANKS Omni. (And I tried it with the Mifki kernel, if you read this forum)

[nixblicker]

What? Who? Where?

 

giandal please tell us more!!

 

Did you just copy the Titan.kext?

Full QE/CI/OpenGL?

Any tearing or glitches?!?!

 

 

I'AM SO EXCITED!!! I think I am going mad!!!

[joe75]

Free at last

 

See what happens when you don't {censored} him off

 

Everybody do their homework and there wont be detention

 

Omni and np_, nice work!

[Wisam]

For anybody knows how to make Titan work like a Titan please give us step by step installation procedure. I have 6600GT on 1.4.8 Jas combo update. I want to test it against my Hackintosh.

What is chown/chmod ?

Please some help needed here

 

THANK YOU OMNI !!!!!! we appreciate all your effort and work for helping the community. I think we need a forum to do the beta testing and share our findings so the development process can progress fast. I've seen previous posts and if you don't mind Omni would like to report our findings to you ? just tell us where

 

Thanks to np_ who is working also with Omni to make this possible.

[U.C.]

How did it work?? Please tell me.

 

 

I am starting 10.4.8 SSE3 JaS DVD today

As simple as following the instructions from OMNI, plugged into /System/Library/Extensions

Removed any /System/Library/Extensions.*

changed owner to root:wheel and chmod to 755....

So far no tearing or glitches!

Are you looking to get detention mister

 

Do your homework

Do your homework biggrin.gif

 

Well, I tried my best and did my own research

sudo cp -R Titan.kext /System/Library/Extension

sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

 

I got an error message says that I don't have permission on next reboot. So I added this

sudo chown -R root:wheel Titan.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 Titan.kext

 

then I rebooted. The boot hangs after loading forcedeth.kext

I guess because I am using 1.4.6 Jas >> 1.4.8 Jas combo update. (AMD SSE2 what can I do!)

I don't have 8.8.1 kernel but 8.4.1

So did I do something wrong or I just have to wait for Jas to release 1.4.8 AMD ppf Patch ?

Any idea ?

You need new kernel

 

Theres three ideas

 

Now go sit back down and finish your homework

[Tek_No]

What about ATI cards like mine (Radeon 9000 in laptop): anybody tried this in the mean time?

 

I can't test this at the moment as my laptop is only SSE2 so I can't use the new kernel (yet)

[joe75]

We have to wait and see what happens.

 

Did you read his site

[icyderguru]

could anybody please try if dual displays are working or not?

 

since omni is stating that something needs to be changed prior to get dual displays working it would be cool if someone who is very experienced could put together a Titan kext for dual display setups.

[Wisam]

Thanks joe75 but I was inside /System/Library/Extensions when I used sudo

I need a new mobo with Intel processor to get the new kernel

It is just I could not get ASrock DVI from the dealer here. I will go to look this evening. I am tired of waiting

[murcielago585]

I'm running the semthex kernel right now, i tried to install this with my 7600 gt and all i get and black and white bars. can anybody tell me what to type in terminal after i copy the kext to System/Library/Extensions

[icyderguru]

sudo -s

chmod 777 /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

 

after that reboot

[Tek_No]

Yup I read his site: Omni is mentioning X1000 based cards but not any cards prior to those...

 

 

We have to wait and see what happens.

 

Did you read his site

[chelhydra]

AND IT WORKS!!!!!

IT............................. JUST........................... WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS Omni. (And I tried it with the Mifki kernel, if you read this forum)

 

 

Giandal tell us, does the new driver let the monitor enter standby mode?

This is great news

[murcielago585]

thanks for the help guys but i tried that method and i get "System extension cannot be used." after the method icyderguru posted. I also tried to repair permissions and get the same message. for those who got this working, what steps did you take?

[dvil]

Full success,

 

XFX 6600 GT fully working, tested with Openmark, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD player. OpenGL extension viewer report full support.

 

This is on a Dell dimension 4700 using the semthex kernel modified to avoid the CPUID bug in the Dells Pc's.

The system is fully supported now.

 

Thanks omni and np_

[murcielago585]

dvil, what steps did you take to make it work?

[dvil]

dvil, what steps did you take to make it work?

 

Just the ones outlined on omni's site,

 

copy the Titan.kext to /System/Library/Extensions, chmod and chown it

 

chmod -R 755 Titan.kext

chown -R root:wheel Titan.kext

 

delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext, reboot and pry.

[EtherealRemnant]

Someone post an Xbench just showing the OpenGL and such please.

[dm_webd]

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext

You need new kernel

I'm not sure the new kernel is needed.

I've copied all the nVidia related kexts from the new kernel, and my system doesn't hang at boot.

It sets the resolution properly but I only get a black screen, but it keeps booting and I can connect via network. It seems it gets initialized properly.

I think my problem has to do with the framebuffer offset omni mentioned (my card is a laptop card).

So as a result I'm creating my own kext based on omni's description - it's nearly done now, too bad I have to go to work now.

If anyone can try the new kext's on the old kernel, please report your findings, it would be of great help to see if it is possible at all.
