juunbug Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Ok, so many of us have gone down the path of trying to get this agp support, and yes, perhaps I'm an idiot. But for the life of me I cannot get my card to detect agp AND qe/ci simultaneously. When I have just qe/ci, my performance is smooth and pretty, but slow and desirable. When I have the agpgart driver working, my system seems faster, but my graphics are ass. I have yet to see one definitive guide to help troubleshoot the issue, to get both working well, or verifying its impossibility. I have seen MANY posts with bits and pieces as to which plists and kexts to edit, pull, repair permissions on and so on, but it seems like there is something I'm missing (insert joke here). I have been to the http://x86dev.org site and it just threw me off even more, more fragmented directions to follow. I have tried the following: -placing AGPGart in the system/library/preferences folder (v2.1 and 2.2) without entering device id's -placing AGPGart in the system/library/preferences folder (v2.1 and 2.2) with entering device id's -verifying permissions and not, depending on the post I was reading at the moment -editing nvdaresman -not editing nvdaresman -tinkering with all of the nvdanvxxhal files, either all at once or individually -pissing on cpu while balancing on heatsink fan and juggling two bananas and one orange singing dont worry be happy Nothing got both working What the can I try next? Can anybody help? I have JaS 10.4.8, unaltered, installed like a dream, no issues, native, dual boot w/xpmce2005 Asus P5PE-VM Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz sse3 Memory: 1 GB (2x 512 DDR) Bus Speed: 533 MHz L2 Cache: 1 MB SATA 200gb MCI Starforce GeForce FX5200 AGP 128MB ps. Mad props to my main man God. Good lookin' out, yo. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42198-agpgart-with-geforce-fx5200/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Okay. you want to be my first guinea pig? Ive compiled Natit to be using the AGP headers instead of PCI headers, i thought of it cause i have a 5700LE AGP lyaing around and i wanted to see if it worked. anyway here they are: Click to DL *note Highly Experimental* they are set to the FX5200 so dont change anything, heres how to install: unzip and drag and drop the 3 files into /System/Library/Extensions/ authenticate and replace when prompted. now enter terminal and enter the following: sudo -s password sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext/ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext/ sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext/ sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/ rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AGPGart.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache diskutil repairPermissions / now reboot and report to me what happens.

juunbug Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Ok, I just attempted the method you posted, DiaboliK, and I was able to restart the system fine, at 1024x768. I lost everything, display-wise. No resolution change, no qe/qe2, no ci, no agp.T hanks for the attempt but on my machine it did not work. But I will allways be willing to try something else for the sake of experimentation. Thank you for your efforts. Little further details: Display: Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0322 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported slipttees, you say you have it working, would you mind explaining how you managed to do so? I have tried the combination you are using so perhaps you tried a different method than I did. BTW, i set everything back to the state I was before the attempt: GeForce FX 5200: Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200 Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0322 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Acer AL1911: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 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/42198-agpgart-with-geforce-fx5200/#findComment-301839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
