MacUser2525 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 How do you boot into OSX without a driver for the graphics card ? It will usually just boot into OSX using VESA mode for the graphics then you install the update and the already mentioned NV installer reboot then hopefully you have fully working graphics.
