charly_brown Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi all I have to put pen to paper (Or fingers to keys) to say a huge!! thanks for this file for leopord, I have a BFG 8800 GTS 640mb and it works perfectly with this card although I nearly gave up when it was booting back up after installing as the OS was taking ages to load so I went away to siphon the python and low and behold when I got back it was there in 1920x1200 on my 27" Dell monitor in millions of colours. Many Many Thanks and keep up the great work Charlie please bear in mind after install and reboot it may take upto 5 mins to reboot with the Mac logo on the screen Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65849-geforce-8800-g80-only-easy-installer-tutorial/page/13/#findComment-686041 Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningboy01 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have installed Leo4Allv2 and all seems to be working video wise except my resolutions. I have an 8800GTS 640MB and everything boots up, I am in the OS and have video, but I only have 1024x768 as a resolution and would like to change it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65849-geforce-8800-g80-only-easy-installer-tutorial/page/13/#findComment-715828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphe Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hello, I'm using a MSI 8800 Ultra OC in my Hackintosh, recognized perfectly (with both NVinject and EFI strings): I can change change and I got hardware accelerated CI & QE. I ran OpenGL Extension Viewer and I noticed that the OpenGL 2.1 test is not rendered correctly (see the screenshot attached, the fractal animation on the surface of the cube is corrupted). This was perfectly working with my old X1950XT, and I think this explains some glitches I noticed in Doom 3. Does someone encountered the same problem and knows how to solve it ? I've tried everything: all versions of NVinject, EFI strings, fresh reinstall of Leopard (10.5.0 and 10.5.2, with and without graphic update), 10.5.3 beta kext, etc. My configuration: Leopard 10.5.2 (all updates done) with PC EFI 8, Gigabyte GA-X35-DS4, MSI 8800 Ultra OC.

Gibbz Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey Guys, what do i do with the .kext file once i have extracted it. I tryed copying it into \system\library\extensions\ however it just pops up with an error on reboot. Is there some kind of software I need to get this to work as some kind of installer?

darbid Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I am not sure if this topic is still being supported with someone that can answer question but I will try anyway. I tried the installed as I have a Go 7900 GS 512mb card. It seemed to work ok, However on reboot I get a black screen with one stationary mouse and another which i can move. I can book in safe mode with -x and the graphics look great and it recognises everything including the 512mb bit. Can any shed some light on why i get a black screen? If no how can i delete or undue what i have done? Thanks in advance.

DanielNTX Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Installer for the 8800GTX? The base Geforce kexts are included in the Kalyway 10.5.2 build. You can use the NVinject.kext and modify the Info.plist in the kext to set the VRAM size to 768mb by changing the value to 0x30. I highly recomend dumping the injector and using EFI strings via EFIStudio to configure the card. EFI -Extensible Firmware Interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia CI - Core Image (graphics framework for OSX, can be software or hardware accelerated as it should be with 8800gtx) QE - Quartz Extereme (OpenGL hardware accelerated rendering) Take a look at this post for more info and how to overcome the CI:QE problem if you upgrade to 10.5.3/10.5.4: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=820043 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65849-geforce-8800-g80-only-easy-installer-tutorial/page/13/#findComment-822362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
