gotoh Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 you need root permission to delete the files. boot with -x flag (safe mode) and see if you can reach the finder this way, then manually delete the files (easy way) or boot with -s flag (single user mode) then you need to have the filesystem mounted as read/write. correct command to delete package should be rm -r nvidia.kext (-r is for recursive delete as a package is basically a folder with several items) You need to identify all the kext installed by macvidia, I don't know which one it is using as I don't use macvidia since there is now TITAN/NATIT patches to use GeForce 5/6/7 as real core image cards...
