I have a working setup on a Dell Inspiron 5150. I meant to follow the instructions but my machine hung. This resulted in me doing the following much simpler process.

 

 

1. Install 10.4.7 from JaS dvd

2. Install the 10.4.8.SSE2 beta 9 update

 

 

3. Crash (Curse becuase I'm assuming that I have to start over) restart

 

4. Restarts correctly uname reports 8.8.1

5. Copy loginwindow and restart. About box works

6. Follow nvidia directions and profiler reports QE supported

 

 

Yay

I had the same result on my 5150, right after the beta 9 install, finder locks up, and i have to hard shutdown, and reboot to continue. but it all works out fine.

 

Question: does your display come up every time, or does it randomly show black screen with no GUI?

 

would like to solve this if i can.

 

Cheers

Hi there, just a few question about the source for the things

for this one:

2: This Mac OS X update: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...pdateintel.html

 

The link is dead, is it the official 10.4.7 update or the 10.4.8?

 

3: Pacifist (Mac Update, Google search)

 

A shareware version is ok?

 

4: JaS.10.4.8.Intel.SSE2.SemtheX.Beta9.dmg (#JaS.dvd IRC room)

 

From which IRC network is this one from?

 

5: Semthex's latest kernel (Go into the #kernel room at Insanely Mac's IRC )

 

 

Thank you VERY VERY MUCH for all the efforts and putting it in a tutorial, u have no idea how much hope you bring hehehe.

SWEET!!!! You're the best ever! Seriously though, thanks a lot for the guide. I beat my friend to having a fully functional system (he bought new hardware and I got his old mobo, letting me finally boot it.) This thread combined by its predecessor enabled me to get it all working.

 

Thanks a lot for the help! :(

 

EDIT: Forgot to add my specs:

 

nVidia GeForceFX 5500 (128MB)

1.6GHz Pentium 4 (SSE2)

1Gb RAM

LG DL-DVD+RW/RAM drive

Hi everyone

Has anyonemanaged to get this working with Nvidia FX GO5600 cards. When I use titan and change the kext's, everything goes ok except the LCD on my widescreen laptop has thin black vertical lines accross it, which is distorting the screen. I've generated a screenshot which looks ok, but its not the view I get on the LCD. Is this a problem with a modeline on the lcd in one of the kexts.

 

Please help I've ran out of ideas

My Spec:

 

CPU: AMD Sempron 64bit 3000+ (1.8Ghz)

M/B : Asus K8N

RAM: Kingston 512*2

HDD: 80G(IDE,master), 200G(SATA,slave)

VGA: Asus GeForce FX5200

 

Everyone, I want to know step by step with how to install driver of FX5200. How can i find the driver for the good one? (Titan, Natit)

I am trying to do like this : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36480 : nylock10. but appear like this: did you see in the picture that someone showed

 

Core Image = Supported >>>for me not supported

Quarty Extreme = Supported >>>for me not supported

 

So please tell me the destination of a good FX5200 driver, and step by step of configuration. Thank you so much for your supported.

 

 

I am trying to play VCL media player to play .mkv of HD DVD Movie but it's doesn't work, error and appear Close, Report, Reopen. So i think, may be coz of my driver sure.

 

thx you for helping me.

Here's an update (since I couldn't edit the first post)..

 

I found out that com.apple.windowserver.plist can be edited to disable BeamSync* (LCD monitors only!) and enable Quartz 2D Extreme.

 

You need to have a fully QE/CI enabled video card to do this, and it will allow the GUI in Mac OS X to be a lot faster. The dock animation will be a lot smoother, same with Dashboard and minimize/maximize effects.

 

So get started, and speed up your GUI!

 

 

Open up com.apple.windowserver.plist (Spotlight it) via Property List Editor.

 

Click the arrow next to "Root", and under Quartz2DExtremeEnable, make the value "Yes". Then, click the "Compositor" arrow, set the deferredUpdates vaule to 0.

 

Save the file (if you don't have permission to, go to the file in Finder, right-click it and press "Get Info". Set the permissions to allow admin and your name to Read & Write).

 

After editing com.apple.windowserver.plist, open up Disk Utility and run "Repair Disk Permissions". Reboot, and open up System Profiler, go to the graphics tab and make sure it shows "Quartz 2D Extreme" is supported (screenshot). Also, double check com.apple.windowserver.plist to make sure the deferredUpdates value is still set to 0.

 

 

*Please remember, you only need to change this particular value if you have an LCD-monitor.

 

You can check that you did everything correctly by checking the screenshot attached in this post.

 

@andy_bon: I'm not sure why it is causing those lines, maybe I haven't had any of those problems so I wouldn't know. Sorry!

 

@Lamun: You have Mac OS X 10.4.8, correct? You also need to have an updated 8.8.1 kernel.

Hey guys, I dunno for you all but for me , my 10.4.6 used to be much faster than my new 10.4.8 / 8.8.1 semthex with QE/CI. Can you point me where can I post this for someone to help me? I'm sure it has to do with my processor.

 

I think it might be because of the 8.8.1 kernel and it being uncompleted.

 

Did you try following the post above to enable Quartz 2D Extreme and disable BeamSync (disabling BeamSync for LCD monitors only)?

Nilock10, I followed you step by step and i can't not make my geforce go 6400 works. When i reboot i have a black screen and i can't do anything.

 

I have a vaio laptop fs315h (intel 915gm) and i installed jas 10.4.8 amd intel sse2 sse3 semthex 8.8.1 kernel

 

Do you have an idea what else i can try to make this card working properly? I know it's supported but i can't find the way to do it.

 

I hope you can help me.

 

Thanks a lot.
