How do I enable Quartz on leopard.

[macprodan]

I tried NVInject with no luck so ran a Natit installer package, but there is no acceleration, I can change resolution and color now. Any ideas been so long since I messed with My hackintosh.

I see you have the same card so:

 

take all files from http://rapidshare.com/files/72992251/leo_vid_kexts.zip.html and copy to /System/Library/Extensions

 

When it asks you to authenticate hit OKAY and put in your password.

 

Then open the terminal, type sudo -s then your password and paste the following

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV20Hal.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV20Hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV30Hal.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV30Hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext ;

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext

 

then hit Enter.

 

Type Reboot, Pray.

 

These are all the steps I followed to get a fully working QE/CI Leopard AMD install. Once again, thank you Zephyroth! You are the man!

Thanks for the quick reply. I will give it a go now.Is you device ID the same as mine then 009210de. >?

[MuppMan]

try nvinject, by far the best gfx drivers, imo.

Even works with dual cards on a Sli board. they are ace.

[macprodan]

I have, it just gets stuck on the text based verbose screen, login window.app then nothing just sits there.. ?

[MuppMan]

I assume you followed the nvinject installation instructions ?

 

Installation procedure :

 

- requirements

 

OS X 10.4.8 with 8.8.1 kernel minimum

( i guess it is the same for leopard )

original NVIDIA kext in extensions folder (GeForce.kext, GeForce*.bundle (5 of them), NVDAResman.kext, NVDANV10HAL.kext, NVDANV20HAL.kext, NVDANV30HAL.kext, NVDANV40HAL.kext)

Have permissions repaired before installing

 

- install procedure :

 

remove any NATIT/Titan/nvidiaEFI kext or uninstall MacVidia Driver

copy NVinject or NVinjectGo in /System/Library/Extensions/ folder

 

set correct permissions to the kext using the attached script

 

permissions command

[macprodan]

K, did not see the permissions fix file before.. I messed with the kexts so much I am going to do a Quick re-install of leopard and try with nvinject again.

 

Do I need to add any device id`s to any of the kexts.? of just install leopard and install nvinject then run permission fix.?

[MuppMan]

probably not i got an 7800gt as well and it worked "out of the box".

[macprodan]

Cool, Just finished installing, third time lucky. Damn install gets stuck at the end all the time. It finished from what I can make out from the install log. (10.5.1 SSE2/SSE3 32Bit DVD) from TPB

 

K, now I am Getting a Kernel Panic at start up, not the CPU as worked with Both Cores enabled last time. Debugger traced back to NVDAResman and GeForce.

 

I will remove them kexts and see what happens, I think I had to do this Last time. then maybe put the Tiger or Leo ones I downloaded in... Lucky I kept Tiger on here..

 

 

Thanks for all your help, I am sure I will win in the end.

OK, I Managed to get Natit working. 100% fully working 10.5.1 install now. Any use me trying with NVInject again.? is there any performance difference. I doubt it but thought I would ask.

Do not use Nvinject. DO as I said. I told you I have the same card, dont matter what ID, that method just works flawlessly.

 

I tried NVinject and it just mingles with other methods you tried so no more clean install.

 

Of course you have to remove NVDAResman and GeForce first after you installed Leo but that has been mentioned all over the board m8 and is needed specialy with the Zephyroth release.

 

If you have it 100% working meaning CI and QE then leave it as it is.

 

Have fun with the OS

Copied that files in, changed permissions etc, rebooted.

 

NO LUCK. :*/

Im trying this all day long. No success.

 

I tried using NVInject allso. I get various errors during boot, but have no clue how to combat this as Im OSX Leopard newbie with only basic knowledge of Linux platform.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

 

Must I delete those 2 files? Ill try that if need be.

which method did you use? just copy those kexts from Snowski's post without any changes & repair permissions?
