kjnnz Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Did you install a fresh copy of Leo or just upgraded your Tiger installation? I installed Titan in Tiger, then upgraded my Tiger installation with Leo, and my 7300gs worked perfectly without me having to touch anything.

andytof47 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Actually I did a fresh install of the leopard Flat and boomba baby (I had the 7300gs/7200gs in the machine) didn't do a thing and it just came up with support -- i don't know why -- and frankly I don't care i'm just happy it works :) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72421-7300gs-and-leopard/#findComment-515866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdog ! Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hi - Yeah just go here and download NVInject for Leo V 0.13 This is working for me very well in Leopard. I have the 7300GS with dvi going to my acer 20" widescreen monitor @ 1650x1080 Hello Can you tell me if you make something with your DEVICE-ID or just make install the driver ? Because my Asus 7300 GT Silent don't work too on TV-OUT (S-VHS connector).

pauℓzurrr. Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'm getting some progress, i loaded leopard without the geforce kexts but with nvinject. Then i placed them all back in the extensions folder, repaired the permissions and tried a kextload -t on geforce.kext and nvdaresman.kext this is what i get bash-3.2# kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/Geforce.kext extension /System/Library/Extensions/Geforce.kext has potential problems: Warnings { "Kext has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style" = true } kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/Geforce.kext appears to be loadable And the same for nvdaresman... So it seems they can be loaded, but when i reboot i do see nvinject being loaded but it is still hanging GeForce: Version: 1.5.16 Last Modified: 10/12/07 1:51 AM Get Info String: GeForce 1.5.16.0 (10.3.0f4) Location: /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext kext Version: 5.1.6 Load Address: 0x35c4e000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Satisfied Integrity: Kext has no receipt NVDAResman: Version: 1.5.16 Last Modified: 10/12/07 1:51 AM Get Info String: NVDAResman 1.5.16.0 (10.3.0f4) Location: /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext kext Version: 5.1.6 Load Address: 0x35a21000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Satisfied Integrity: Kext has no receipt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72421-7300gs-and-leopard/#findComment-516842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobox Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I had exactly the same problem when I done a clean Leo ToH install. I changed the devID's in the relevent kexts, I tried all versions of both Natit and NVInject but all had the same results. Then I took a shot in the dark and tried Titan.... worked perfectly first time. No dual-screen, but hey you cant have everything, lol. But if anyone does know how to get NVInject working on this card with Leo that would be fantastic.

phobox Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Ok for some reason the latest nvinject isnt working here. I installed it and the machine booted ok, login screen appeared and I typed my password.. then instead of bringing up my desktop it just got stuck at a blue screen with a mouse pointer showing in the top left. I restored Titan and the system is now back to normal. This is so weird. Perhaps its the GeForce, NVDANV40Hal and NVDAResman versions Im using or something? If anyone who has the latest nvinject working for them could pass over their kexts, I'd be eternally grateful Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72421-7300gs-and-leopard/#findComment-522435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
