Duh! i found a folder in System/Library/Extensions labled:

Extensions_Nvidia_disabled so i checked it out and it had a whole bunch

of files in it some of which were, Titan.kext;AGPGart.kext and among others

so what i did was i changed NVidiaHal40 & NVResmon whatever and transfered all the files in that folder chmod/chown repaired perms. and rebooted, and low and behold this is what i saw:

You mean you changed. Changed what?

 

I have the same GPU as you and tried almost anything without success.

 

Could you be a little more detailed to help a fellow to hack his Mac?

 

Thanks!

[magrute]

sorry i was so excited

the folder has some files i needed for this to work.

what i did was input my card's id in the two files:

NVDANV40HAL.kext & NVDAResman.kext

 

the place i changed it was in info.plist in this section:

 

<key>NVidiaRM</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.nvidia.nv40hal</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>NVDANV40HAL</string>

<key>IOMatchCategory</key>

<string>IOService</string>

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x032210de&0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x022010de&0xfff0ffff 0x014010de&0xfff0ffff 0x016010de&0xfff0ffff 0x009010de&0xfff0ffff 0x01d010de&0xfff0ffff 0x039010de&0xfff0ffff 0x029010de&0xfff0ffff</string>

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<integer>60000</integer>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

what i changed is in bold

i changed my id in both files which for fx5200 is x0322

let me know if this helps

oh by the way i am using 10.4.8 TEST 1 release

[Fernyman]

Thanks, I'll try this.

[Fernyman]

No success. I'm using the same ISO as you, have the same card. What could be wrong?

[magrute]

do you have the folder Extensions_Nvidia_disabled in System/Library?

if so,change to your id in those 2 files i mentioned earlier.

then copy every file within the Extensions_Nvidia_disabled into:

System/Library/Extensions if it asks if you want to replace any say yes

i don't know if this is advisable or correct to do it this way,but this is exactly what i did,when you chown/chmod i did it like this:

chown -R root:wheel *.kext

chmod -R 755 *.kext

diskutil repairpermissions /

reboot

like i said i don't know if you should do it like that or not but that is exactly

what i did to make it work

remember to change your id in both files!

[Fernyman]

Thanks magrute, but i'm convinced that it's about my card, as i did exactly what you did.

 

I'm starting to think that cards that doesn't have DVI-out won't work. Does yours have?

[magrute]

yes, dual dvi

i don't think that is it cause i am hooked up vga using a dvi-vga adapter

but i could be wrong.

do you have natit installed also if so remove it, it conflics w/titan

[seanbperiod]

i'm having problems, saying that the natit or titan kext can't be loaded because it may have been installed improperly. my fx5200 card has dvi, vga, and svideo out.. unfortunately, i don't have a dvi monitor.

 

when i had my tv plugged in and rebooted, my monitor flickered a few times, and then my system rebooted.. i unplugged the tv, and then i get the error message..

 

i'm so close! please help.

 

thank you.

[Rammjet]

Try performing a "sudo chown -R root:wheel" on the kext, then remove the Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache and reboot.

[seanbperiod]

thanks rammjet for the help,

 

i did that, and i'm not getting the error anymore- but i still can't change resolutions, or have QE/CI support.

 

i edited the correct strings in the appropiate files- however as per your guide in the other thread, i made it <string>0x032210de</string>

 

should i have left the other entries, and just edited the first in the group?

[Rammjet]

You only need one vendor/device string in each kext as long as it is yours.

[seanbperiod]

hmm, then i don't know what the problem is.. your guide says that for 5xxx series cards to use NVDANV30HAL.kext, but i've read that some others on here have used nvdanv40hal.. so i changed the strings in both.

 

natit seems to be loaded, but for some reason ci/qe or resolution changes..

 

i'm stumped..

[parachute]

I think Rammjet is talking about the ID's in the kext's, not which kext's are loaded. I searched before asking and found this thread about my 5200. I'll give this one a try tonight and will report back. If I fail, I'll re-install tubgirl's "test 1" release with NV40 checked this time.
