geforce 8600 GT card problem

[rajesheber]

hi,

I have installed a new graphics card. XFX nvidia Geforce 8600GT with 256 MB RAM. I installed kalyway 10.5.1 and later updated to 10.5.2 using kalyway patch for 10.5.2. I also install the patch for the original vanilla kernel. I tried to install NVinject using the NVinstaller but on reboot i get a blue screen. No desktop even in safe mode. I also tried graphics update but still no results. Kindly help me to find the solution

 

thanx in advance

Processor: intel core2Quad @2.4

Mob: Asus p5b-vm

RAM: 2*1 GB DD2 RAM @800 MHZ

HDD: 2 * 80 GB Seagate 7200.7

Graphics card: XFX nvidia GeForce 8600 GT with 256 MB

I have an XFX 8600GT "XXX" 256 Mb and it's working flawlessly (in both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2) with the dirver discussed here:

Why would you patch the kernel, just install os x 10.5.1 apply the 10.5.2 update, using the turtorial in the fourm, dont use the kalyway one since your probably running efi and want to update your kernel, and then get the os x graphics update then install the latest nvinject kext. I have an 8400 inmy second computer and its working great.

 

ps dont use the installer, go to the nviject home page and get the latest one and use kext easy installer , and dont use the one off the kalydisk either

 

 

Oh and excuse the grammer im in a hurry lol

Hi david thanx for the reply. I tried to install the combo update that i downloaded from Apple. I tried according to the instructions given at netkas. While i ran the script initially and then the set up. I tried to delete the AppleIntelCPU...Kext but the system went in for a hang and i had to reinstall. Is there any other wayt hat i can counteract that. If i install the 10.5.2 update and then the graphics update will my 8600Gt card show correct details in the profiler.This is my current profiler details for the graphics card.Display: Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0402 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays:Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

you dont need to delete anything i had the same issue by trying to delete that , just run the sript before you install then press ctrl c when the install is done. then go to the directory the tutorial mentions and edit the file named 1 with texedit and look for the line with "Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext" and replace the"Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext" portion with dsmos.kext. Then reboot.

 

Finder would'nt let me access the folder that contained the file i needed so i just dragged it to the desktop, made the changes to the editable one, the dragged the one i couldn't edit the the trash can and put the one i changed in its place.

 

So everything worked great, and i just checked you do have an intel chipset so it should work fine, as long as you have efi running. oh and dont its going to restart during the first boot but thats normal.
