I am running AGPGart 2.1. I looked at the string of 2.x upgrades, but I saw more people complaining that anything beyond 2.1 broke their systems. I haven't tried those yet. Any suggestions? Is there some sort of logging that can be enabled to get more details from the Titan failure?

 

Thanks in advance...

I downloaded Redrum's latest upload, but it won't install for me. The installer (very) momentarily displays "Preparing Target Volume" before pulling out a drawer telling me to try installing again. The logs indicate that the preflight script is failing.

 

At least the OS is quick about it! ;)

I've tried this nice package with my GeForce 6150 SE and it does not work. When it reboots, it hangs.

 

Fortunately I was able to uninstall with the instructions supplied earlier in the thread.

 

If anybody managed to get it to work with the 6150, please let me know how. Thanks.

 

:(

Jeff, the 6150 is the holy grail. :lol: If you have a CRT, the driver that started this thread will get you a very dim screen. (My LCD and projector go into power-saving mode, indicating a voltage issue.) That's a vast improvement over every other driver which doesn't even get close to properly initializing the display.

 

I have heard that MacVidia 1.0.7 (good luck finding it) works (or worked) properly with the 6150. And there was someone who managed to get it working with a very specific AGPGart version, though it didn't work for me.

 

So, I'm pinning my hopes upon this driver actually receiving some love at some point, since I don't have the cash to go buy an additional video card at the moment. (I'm more likely to end up with an Apple machine than dumping lots of cash into a Hackintosh, anyhow.)

 

One thing I'm curious about: how much video memory is seen by each of the following, in your case, for the 6150: BIOS, Windows, Darwin? It seems to me that Darwin sees twice as much memory than is actually allocated. A clue, perhaps?

All 3 report 128 mb, which I beleive is what the 6150SE has.

Hey guys...I am runing Leopard AMD 10.5.1 I installed the package and it works except that,like someone mentioned before, my dsub is black and my DVI is now working. I am able to change resolution which is good. Before i was stuck on the 1024x768. I browsed the 40HAL and I did not see my card id Listed. The os does display it as 0393 and 7300gt, just no reference of it in Kext. Gonna try and add it to see....tHanks for the package .... :rolleyes:
