Hardare Issues

[AcidRain9]

ok so i got osx 10.4.7 installed and working okay.....

 

i still can't seem to get my nvidia ethernet card to work, i can see that it is there but it won't get a connection.

 

also i have an ati x1600 graphics card, and it won't let me change the resolution?

 

any ideas?

 

SETUP:

 

AMD X2 4800 AM2

MSI K9N SLI Platinum

NVidia Nforce 570 SLi

ATI X1600 Pro PCIe

3 GB DDR2

You need drivers to support your graphic card to change resolution with the preferences panel. You can specify at boot which resolution you want with a command, and if you want to make it permanent put that command in the com.Apple.Boot.plist

 

"Graphics Mode"="widexheightxdepth"

Example:

"Graphics Mode"="1200x1024x32"

 

 

Mac OS X 10.4.8 has the better combination to have ATI/Nvidia supported with QE and CI.

If you're placing the graphics mode into com.apple.boot.plist, make sure to enclose "Graphics Mode"="widexheightxdepth" in <key></key> tags. It goes in the part of the file between the <dict></dict> tags.

 

Example:

<dict>
{other stuff here}
<key>"Graphics Mode"="1200x1024x32"</key>
</dict>

 

 

As for the network, you're probably going to have to put the device ID of your network card somewhere in the info.plist of IONetworkingFamily.kext.

 

I haven't used a Hackintosh in a very long time, so I'll leave the specifics of doing that to someone who actually knows them.
