Roman78 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Now OSx86 is running fine. Although iWork and Photoshop need more Vram. OSx86 does not recognize the graphic card. I used Nvidia Gforce 2-400, TNT, Rage 128 Pro. The cards should be supporten according to this site. When i'm booting the card is recognized, but in OSx86 it's not. I just want to run iWork and Photoshop (and maybe some more graphical progs). OpenGL support is also nice but not nessesary.

Sentertainment Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 You need to do a few things... You need to add NVidia.kext Modify the device id in NVidia.kext to match yours refresh the kext cache in OS X There are some topics about NVidia drivers, they have instructions there...there's actually a website called macvidia, that is where you want to look for the best instructions and files.

I'll try another card.... /edit: Time to reinstall.... You dont need to reinstall, boot with -s -F and delete the Nvidia kext.

Roman78 Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 There is writte: on the line below that, you will need to add the Device and Vendor ID you can grab them from SystemProfile in my case 0x0322 and 0x10de so I add 0x032210de Do i have to remove all the info on that line and replace it whit mine or do i have to add it?? /edit. I'm on the next step. Now i have a FX 5700. That one wil work as so far that the System Profiler see the chip model as a GeForce FX 5700LE. But i also sais Type: VGA Compatible and Bus: PCI (must be AGP). And stil not enough Vram to run iWork. How can i change that??? /2nd edit: Now i use a GeForce MX 420, als the same problem. And MX 400 does not boot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3671-graphic-card-problem/#findComment-23482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 If you want to System Profiler recognize your card as AGP you need to edit the Info.plist of the AppleI386PCI.kext After AppleI386AGP IONameMatch pci8086,2532 pci8086,2561 put your AGP to PCI Bridge Device ID. There is a thread about getting this done. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3671-graphic-card-problem/#findComment-23532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman78 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 I also used a PCI card (MX 440) but here the same. Can't use all the Vram. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3671-graphic-card-problem/#findComment-23628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
