keiko Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi there. After some time away from OSX i decided to install it again. My first problem occured when i booted it for the first time. I installed Natit, and it crashed the OS (I have a 512mb nvidia card). Then I tried to use my integrated GMA950, which I used before i got the 7950GT in the first place. I disabled the PCIe card in the bios and started installing for the second time, enabling the GMA950 option. When I booted after this, it hang at the light blue screen. I'm lost here, and pretty frustrated : < Can anyone help me, please? - Keiko.

sn8k Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 when you plug a PCIe card, it's supposed to disable the internal VGA . that's the same for EVERY intel boards. the only solution you have is to chose between your 7950GT OR the GMA950 .. Have you tried natit with another kernel ?

keiko Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for your answer. I disabled the PCIe in BIOS and enabled the GMA950, thats when I get stuck on the blue screen. It seems it gets messed up when theres a PCIe card installed, even though the GMA950 is enabled. Is there a way to completely turn it off without having to physically remove it? - Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41244-cannot-use-my-gma950-with-7950gt-installed/#findComment-295401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn8k Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 nope. you MUST disconnect the PCIe card to make the gma works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41244-cannot-use-my-gma950-with-7950gt-installed/#findComment-295405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiko Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I actually got it to work! By removing the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext OSX started up. I wasn't able to change resolution, but after some reading I changed the boot.plist, and now everything works, CI/QE enabled. Only problem is that the mouse flickers while hovering over the dock.
