hush Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi everyone, I tried to get Mac Os X running under an intel P4 Prescott (530j 3GHz) without success. This is my second attempt after a long time. I just installed the last JaS iso (PPF1, PPF2, SSE2 10.4.8 + update SSE3 10.4.9). For now, I'm running 10.4.8 because I can't get my graphic card working properly. I installed native Titan drivers and at login window it just hangs up. Did someone succeeded with this kind of video card ?

sultanoswing Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes (see signature). Sorry, I can't remember if I chose Natit or Titan drivers - give 'em both a try!

Synaesthesia Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Try uphuck 1.4i. It worked well on my friend's Agp card.

hush Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thank's for replying. I tried both Titan and Natit but not the whole versions of Natit. I'll try again in a fresh install. @Synaesthesia: I'm downloading v1.4i r3 of uphuck, thank's for the tip. @sultanoswing: Could you please give me your card infos ?

hush Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thank's everyone, I finally got it working with full QE/CI support ! (Thank's Mark1970 for your attention, maybe you could post your solution in this thread ?) This is the method I used with the version v1.4i r3 of uphuck: - I installed AGPGart 2.2 and Natit natively - I tried to put my device ID in NVDANV30Hal.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext and Natit.kext Info.plist files. (dev ID was: 0x00f110de for me) __ From here, I was still getting a black screen at boot time __ - I just removed AGPGart drivers by typing the following commands: # mkdir /drivers_backup # mv /System/Library/Extensions/AGPGart.kext /drivers_backup # rm /System/Library/Extensions.* - I rebooted, and WOW !! Full QE/CI support ! I even get my sound card and my ethernet integrated card working ! I guess, I can increase graphics performance.. That's the next step ! (any links would be appreciated ...) I strongly recommend using uphuck which is lighter and faster than JaS. It also has a large choice of drivers...

Lactobacillus P Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I am actually running 10.4.10 now from the OS xX10.4.10Xx disk, login window 10.4.4, Photoshop c3 fix, titan & agpgart lite I did the install next to my JaS 10.4.9 installation on another partition and I used the Migration Assistent to fill the New 10.4.10 install with my programs in settings from the 10.4.9 installation. I removed the 10.4.9 parition and moved the 10.4.10 partition to the end of my drive. Works like a charm, didn't even have to edit any info.plists.

sultanoswing Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Good to see your success, hush. Is your card listed as 'PCI' or 'AGP' under 'About This Mac -> System Info' ? Most people can't seem to get QE/CI supported at the same time as AGP correctly listed, although I'm not sure there's any performance difference. My card is a Pixelview 6600GT, but I can't remember the exact model & vendor IDs, sorry.
