Ok, very quckly I have the following in System Profiler:

 

NVIDIA GeForce 6200:

 

Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 6200

Type: Display

Bus: AGP

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0221

Revision ID: 0x00a1

Displays:

ASUS VW192T??:

Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Not Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

Display:

Status: No display connected

 

So, the good news is, via Natit the GFX card is detected a-ok (as is AGP and TFT display via DVI). The bad news, is that I can't quite get a handle on how to get CI and QE working.

 

iirc, the above card does apparently support the two acceleration features, but try as I might, I can't nail down what I need to do to get them active.

 

Any pointers to enabling the exceleration via CI and QE would be much apreciated.

spreaderb,

 

Ahh.. good point. I might try a 'plain vanilla' install of JaS's build as per your suggestion. Just out of curiosity, what video card do you have?

 

I found some guide based on the idea of transferring various NV and Geforce kext's from the official Mac 10.4.8 update, which resulted in a kernel panic due to missing dependencies (hardly surprising).

 

Having said that - the install including titan was able to correctly identify the video card, as well as detect the TFT display - CI and QE wouldn't be affected by adding the correct monitor string (given OS X was able to successfully poll the display) surely?

This is what I Get in system profile:

I used Natit from Natit 1.0 Universal package. Everythings seems working fine, except - every time at startup display is turning off for a while, and then detecting again .. its a bit boring. And was trying to write 0x16310de in files: GeForce.kext; NVDANV40Hal.kext; NVDAResman.kext...

And another thing - dont understand why video VRAM is only 16mb. Because really rard have 128 DDR 64BIT.

Hi, I hvae the Asus N6200 Card which is a Gforce 6200 with 128MB using AGP.

This card is attached to a 1600x1200 LCD via the DVI port. I just got a black screen after the install with titan drivers initially. And I red od this forum that the titan drivers on the Jas DVD are not working properly in some configurations.

 

This led me to a clean install using just titan.kext I think the 6200 ID is already included in the NVIDIA kexts of the installation.

 

After the titan.kext with the correct EDIT string the screen worked pefectly but System Profile still indicated PCI instead of AGP. I used AGPGart lite 1.1. I red on this forum that the other versions only work on AMD CPUs But I didn't verify this myself

Everythings seems working fine, except - every time at startup display is turning off for a while, and then detecting again .. its a bit boring.

I get this with Natit too, didnt happen with Titan. My profiler shows 2nd display active under Natit (like yours), so the flashing screen is the driver loading, looking for display 1, then switching to display 2. I'll post if I manage to fix it :)

Any pointers to enabling the exceleration via CI and QE would be much apreciated.

Just a thought - have you set the AGP aperture size to 128 in BIOS? I had it on 256 and spent days rebooting with titan/natit with no CI/QE until I set it to 128, rebooted and all worked :)

 

@bristol just realised I get the same on/off display with titan (although its quicker for some reason), dont think I can fix this. Gashead or CiderArmy btw?? :D
