eXKR Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) I already have this graphics card. Everything work perfect (display, resolutions selection, etc) but QE/CI. I have been trying to setup the ID stuff (0x0045 as written on MacOSX info) and it doesn't work. I have tried it with Titan and Natit with no luck, maybe I haven't configured it correctly... but the important question arrives now: On the Wiki, at Titan, on the last compatible cards entry is written Asus Geforce 6800 (V9999) AGP, so it is supposed to work but on other spanish forums they say this card doesn't is even compatible with MacOSX... So, is it compatible with QE/CI or not? anyone with this card? How can I make it to work? Thanks a lot. =) Edited January 26, 2007 by eXKR Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39869-full-qeci-with-asus-geforce-8600-gt-v9999-agp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postmastagen Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't know why someone removed my comments on the Wiki. I tried the v9999 with titan... It doesnt work even with changing the device ids in nvdanv40hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext. If you acutally get it working I would love to see how, but I tried for about 4 days with every possible solution with no avail.

eXKR Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yeeeees!! I finally did it! Full QE/CI!!! The solution is too easy: introduce your device ID on the unfamous 3 kexts and then delete AGPart.kext from the extension folder, reboot and voalá!. The real "trick" that made the difference was to delete AGPart.kext, I really don't know if it matters or if I should reinstall it again, I have tested the OS and now works perfect but if someone knows if it is important let us know. Thanks. Full instruccions bellow: __________________________________________________ Introduce your device ID on GEFORCE.KEXT NVDARESMAN.KEXT NVDANV40Hal.kext This means to open a terminal: sudo -s (type your password) sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext Now it's time to edit the vendor ID (in my case it means to delete all the already written and include mine 0x004510de) nano /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/Contents/Info.plist search the IOPCIMatch line and type yours: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x004510de</string> Press ctrl+o Press enter Press ctrl+x nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT/Contents/Info.plist <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x004510de</string> Press ctrl+o Press enter Press ctrl+x nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext/Contents/Info.plist <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x004510de</string> Press ctrl+o Press enter Press ctrl+x Once edited: sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm -f /System&Library/Extensions/AGPart.kext diskutil repairpermissions / reboot That's all, you will have Asus Geforce 6800 GT (V9999) with full QE/CI support, yeah!

eXKR Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 QE/CI (Quarz Extreme / Core Image) support means that you have graphic aceleration on Mac OSX, so that if it is not supported all the graphics calculations will be handled by the CPU. To check if your graphics card is supporting aceleration you should go to "apple icon" / About this Mac / more information, then you should see if under Hardware / Graphics / Quarz Extreme - Core Image is written "compatible", if not you should follow my instructions. It may work. Good luck. =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39869-full-qeci-with-asus-geforce-8600-gt-v9999-agp/#findComment-287982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
