bristol Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Everything seems fine, except one thing - booting OSX Darwin at first shows: Vesa v3.0 16mb ... but I have videocard NVidia GeForce 6200LE with 128 DDR 64BIT Memory!!! Also system profile shows, that VRAM (Total) is 16mb. Is there a fix, to fix that? I have QE/CI and enabled Q2D. Also did trick with changing Q2D minimum video memory requirements value to 10... Chipset Model: nVidia GeForce 6200 LE Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 16 MB Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0163 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Status: No display connected DELL P1110: Resolution: 1280 x 960 @ 100 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz 2D Extreme: Supported Quartz Extreme: Supported Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Noone before didnt have same problem - only 16mb video card memory? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/#findComment-291264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I did not hear that before, try modifying BIOS settings. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/#findComment-291280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
me@home Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I did not hear that before, try modifying BIOS settings. Well, I have it on my PC ( ATI 256MB X1800) it shows on boot up Vesa (16MB) was always a bit afraid but in OSX I have QE * CI * 2656MB all OK. On my notebook it shows correct ( GeForce Go 7300 with 128MB) - the funny thing about that is I have on both the same OSX installed... however I don't worry as long as it is in OSX OK with full support (after titan / natit.kext).

Michal Chrobot Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have a GeForce 8800 GTX with 768MB RAM and in my System Profiler it says I have a VGA-Compatible Controller and 32 MB RAM, so my movies run slow and the rendering is slower than my other comp with Celeron and GeForce2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/#findComment-291318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Yes your card has no working drivers yet, Titan, Natit does not work with card with 512MB (or more I guess).

Prasys Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 First of all , it looks like you're using 6200 with TurboCrap , err TurboCache Your Graphics card has 16MB of VRAM [Real VRAM] and it shares the rest with RAM. On Oses such as XP, Vista , the OS Can see the 'shared vRAM' but under OSX/Linux , it will be disabled cause the OS hasnt seen so-called semi-RAM Sharing Graphics card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/#findComment-291964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 hehe, thanx Prasys about informing about that TurboCrap ) Yeah, card was really cheap, so now I understand. Anyways - I have QE/CI + Q2D... Only that in booting in OSX and in system profile is showing 16 mb, and its like splinter in the eye Maybe there will be some drivers for OSX, with whom OSX will see so-called semi-RAM Sharing Graphics cards..?

XoVoX Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I had the same problem. I just change the setting in my bios to 256 MB gfx ram and got now the real ram size shown in profiler. I dont know if you got the same function in bios but give it a try Radeon X800SE (AGP): Chipsatz-Modell: Radeon X800SE (AGP) Typ: Monitor Bus: PCI VRAM (gesamt): 256 MB Hersteller: ATI (0x1002) Geräte-ID: 0x4a4a Versions-ID: 0x0000 Monitore: GERICOM C700: Auflösung: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Farbtiefe: 32-Bit Farbe Core Image: Unterstützt Hauptmonitor: Ja Synchronisierung: Aus Eingeschaltet: Ja Quartz Extreme: Unterstützt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40568-vesa-30-and-only-vram-16mb/#findComment-302465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
