Hi,

i installed the natit_uni_installer by neopheus and i got geforce 7300 gs working with QE & CI .

VGA Port works flawlessly , DVI (through vga adapter) works flawlessly, but both don't work .

 

They work but separately, not simultaneously.

 

Any suggestions on how to make dual display working ?

 

Which kexts should be loaded and which files should i remove ? Do you think there are some files that are in conflict with nvidia kexts ?

 

I have replaced natit.kext with 0.01 and 0.02 version too (and repaired permissions and so on ... )

 

Everything is working fine but without dual display :/

 

Please suggest me what to do ...

 

Thanks!

Mal

Hi,

thank for your reply.

 

I could help to do some development , if someone can explain me how to do (for example how bofors did to add dual display support... i don't think it's necessary to know very much about programming, just some script and a lot of time for tryings , i guess...).

 

My asus en7300gs card has the following details :

 

dev id : 0x01df

rev id : 0x00a1

 

Thanks!

hi, manmal

 

i have a MSI 7300 GS too with same problem as you. i 've a 17" lcd LG on VGA and 20" FP202 Benq on the DVI ports. the only screen that works

is on vga . i've tried dvi to vga adapter but no way !

question: is this possible to transform a 7300 gs for PC in a MAC edition by simply flashing it ?

cause xp or vista can work with dual cards but OSx not. this way one card for each OS

hello hello, ive got dual monitors working on my XFX 7300GS card.

heres how to do it: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=299762

 

I tried it on my PNY GeForce 7300 GS 256MB PCIe (dual head w/VGA & DVI) and only the VGA side works not the DVI w/VGA adaptor UNTIL I edit the Info.plist in the Natit.kext and add the following under the NVCAP key (which I got from another post):

 

"NVCAP = <04000100 00000300 0c000000 0000000a 00000000 >

 

and then I only get the DVI w/VGA montor working and no VGA monitor. . .WHAT DA HECK!

 

it's my final bug

:D Well am not having a problem with the Geforce 7600GS card, My Geforce 7600GS working fine, It Just that I have 4 other Card is not working with all the hardware support under OS X, I have these Card here, ATI 1950Pro, Asus 1650XT, MSI Gefroce 6800DT, PNY Quadro FX 1400, And I can't get them to work at all, I try every posible way that I could think off, but no luck!

I use Jas 10.4.8 ppf1,ppf2 the lastest I download, and I think my cards just don't work!!! I wish I haven't trade my Geforce 7600GS card with a friend!!! :P I wait for Geforce 7900GT go down cheaper maybe I'll buy to install OS X, for now XP is fine!!! :D

Slight resurrection - Just wanted to let anyone else know that I have an Inspiron 6400 with a Geforce Go 7300 GS 128MB videocard working with the external VGA connector, QE/CI supported + full EDID detection & native resolution.

Hey,

 

I have a 512MB Nvidia 7300GS PCI-Express Card. It's a Gigabyte one (Model: GV-NX73TC512DL-RH). I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.3

 

I installed the Nvinject 2.0 drivers and that worked ok in terms of being able to set high resolution etc.. but I have 2 problems...

 

Firstly I had problems installing Logic because it said I don't have a QE enabled card? I managed to get round that, but my second problem is it wont let me use duel displays..

 

I have read up that its quite important to have QE working, but I really have no idea what I'm doing.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

 

Probably everybody found their solution on Geforce 7300GS cards but me :).

 

I've tried Nvinject 2.0, Natit, nvenabler etc. What I get is 1400x900 resolution but no CI/QE. I even tried put Device ID (0x01df) into NVDANV40Hal's plist and nothing happened.

 

I tried an EFI string with OSX86Tools - choose my card, insert the string - same thing. Currently, System Profiler says, nVidia GeForce 7300 GS OpenGL Engine [EFI] and VRAM 256 although it should be 512 MB.

 

What I have now in my Extensions folder is: NVDANV40Hal.kext, NVDAResman.kext and NVInject.kext. If I remove them I'll get 1024x768.

 

I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Empire EFI.

 

Please, can somebody help me get CI/QE?

I also am using a DSDT.aml generated by DSDT Patcher GUI

 

anyway, I hope that steers you in the right direction!

 

EDIT: I noticed on my wifes hack, (which is also a 7300gs) she is just using NVEnabler.kext in the /Extra folder and has both monitors workin fine. . .

Make sure you're booting in 32-bit mode, there are no 64-bit driver support for Geforce 7 series cards as of 10.6.3.

 

If you're using the Chameleon bootloader add arch=i386 to the kernel flags string in your /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.

If you're using PC_EFI, it's -x32 instead.

 

You can test if it works before setting it permanently, just type it at the boot prompt:

arch=i386 -v (for example).

Hi guys,

Thank you for your replies.

 

@ptesone

 

I tried NVEnabler, I put it in /System/Library/Extensions - no result, I put it in /Extre/Extensions - nothing again :unsure:. My com.apple.Boot.plist is almost the same. My EFI string is different, but it was generated by OSx86 tools so I thought it is OK (maybe I should try yours). I don't have the -v… Kernel Flag, but I think this is not a problem.

 

@Gringo Vermelho

 

I think I'm booting in 32-bit mode, since my SystemProfiler says: "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No", but above it, it also says: Secure Virtual Memory: Not Enabled - I hope this is not a problem (I'm new an do not know what a lot of things mean).

 

I do have arch=i386 in my com.apple.Boot... file.

 

However, I noticed that while booting it says '64 bit mode enabled' or something like this. So now, I don't know which one it is :thumbsup_anim:.

 

With a specific NVinjext.kext I now have Dual Monitor OK with nice screen resolution for both of them, but still no CI/QE.

When I start OSX86 Tools and try to Enable/Disable Quartz GL i gives me this: AppleScript Error Can’t make "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.windowserver, QuartzGLEnabled) does not exist" into type boolean. (-1700)

 

Well, I do not know what to do next... Maybe I'm missing something very small, but...

 

Any ideas?

Don't use NVEnabler and EFI string (or other injection methods) at the same time!

 

You have found the newbies "false hope" tickbox. QuartzGL is not the same as QE/CI, this is a myth propagated by OSX86Tools, a GUI tool famous for destroying whole OS X installs and fragmenting the Hackintosh scene.

 

Read: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1580125

 

QuartzGL is 2D OpenGL acceleration (see the Quartz/Core Image wiki articles). Software that was programmed to use it is already using it, forcing it on for everything is not recommended and can even cause slowdowns, more so on a system that does not have QE/CI working in the first place.

Don't use OSX86Tools, especially not on Snow Leopard!

my SystemProfiler says: "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No", but above it, it also says: Secure Virtual Memory: Not Enabled - I hope this is not a problem (...)

However, I noticed that while booting it says '64 bit mode enabled' or something like this.

"64-bit kernel and extensions:no" means you are running in 32-bit mode.

"64-bit mode enabled" means that Snow Leopard has detected an EM64T capable CPU and will use 64-bit instructions.

 

If you think that's confusing (coming from Windows, you would), this article should clear things up:
