aquanutz Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Check out this post to fix that: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=364723 Do you actually have full CI/QE? If the "Generic" is the only issue, I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 I hope its not because I have DVI to VGA adapter going on. I'm gonna try to get a DVI Cable from my LCD to GFX so i wont need the DVI>VGA Adapter Yes I have QE/CI as you can see there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquanutz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Did you try the method in that post? I doubt the dvi->vga connector is causing that. However, I just got a new 7900 and I am using a connector also because my dvi cable won't work for some odd reason and mine says "generic" too. I'll give my DVI cable one more shot when I get off of work -- if that doesn't work I'm going for the solution in the link posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbau Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 You haven't said if you've done any tests of the performance. I think that would really be the only important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delish Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 RobNyc: you haven't said what driver you have installed, if its Natit you can try and add your devID to the naming keys. Put the following code after "<string>IOPCIDevice</string>" in info.plist in natit.kext <key>Vendors</key> <dict> <key>0x10de</key> <dict> <key>Devices</key> <dict> <key>0x0295</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT</string> </dict> </dict> <key>name</key> <string>nVidia</string> </dict> </dict> if there are entries like this already, then just modify one of them to add your cards DevID. This might work (or crash), so keep a backup of your Natit.kext. These entries are in some versions of Natit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lithium06 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I am using JaS 10.4.8 and the natit_edited kexts from the osx86 wiki, search for natit. The only thing I edited in Natit.kext, GeForce.kext, NVDAResman.kext, and NVDANV40Hal.kext is my devID. <string>0x029510de</string> then mv exited kexts to the correct folder change permissions and owner repair disk permissions reboot so maybe try the edited natit kext instead of the installer, or its just an issue of you having .10 and me on .8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've tried the Natit installer in .8, .9, and haven't tried in .10 because I've gotten no luck in the other versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 So the Myzar/TubGirl AMD DVD has Titan and not Natit.. So my Nvidia is shown as Generic because Titan is installed and if anyone can help me getting titan removed and installing Natit would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
