iScott Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well the topic says it all. I can't get anything over 1024x768. I can not use iMovie because my card is not supported. I just want a driver for it so it will look better. My vendor ID is 0x10de, NVidia geforce 6800 pci in a dell xps 400. Any help would be nice.

ZimZim Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Do you have good news for a 6800 pci owner? Kaly10.5.1 support any resolution natively but no QE/CI. I tried punk92 pkg, titan & NVinject. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomauty Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've been looking too. The best thing I can find is the Universal Nvidia installer, which lets me choose my resolution and gives me pretty good animation, but no quartz support.

superstition Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've been looking too. The best thing I can find is the Universal Nvidia installer, which lets me choose my resolution and gives me pretty good animation, but no quartz support. For my 6800 GS, I had to use the latest version of NVinject (0.2.1) and manually edit three kext files to insert my device id number. You can check out the NVinject support forum for help.

hackeron Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I found various guides that say to edit kext files but how do I get the device ID? -- Is it just a matter of going to "About This Mac" -> "More Info" -> "Graphics" and getting the "Device ID" and adding the "Vendor ID" to the end? -- because I tried that with no luck. I also tried to add a long list of Device IDs to the kext files but my Hackintosh has so far been booting for 20 minutes and I just see the apple logo and the spinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackeron Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Just to add more information to the previous post, I'm able to get 1920x1200 resolution but not QE/CI -- Anyone managed to get QE/CI on this card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananabomb Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have the same problem with m 6800ultra. Seems it would take a coder who knows something about driver architecture to hack the drivers. I gave up on OSX86 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjikun Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Most 6800 series cards have problems in Hackintosh although some are working great. This is also widely discussed in NVinject forums. I once had an ASUS 6800GT Extreme and it gave me nothing but headaches. Replaced it with 7600GS and my 20" Apple Cinema Display is running at full resolution with full QE/CI. I think its better to check the WIKI for compatible cards Graphics Card for OSX86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
