l6c6f6r Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 My setup: - Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe - AMD X2 3800+ - Manli Nvidia Geforce 8600GT 256mb. (Funny thing is that it's DDR2 and not DDR3) To make it 'short'; I tried punk92 v1.9 v2.0, nvInstaller31,33,v4, on tiger & leopard. Now I've installd 10.5.2 v2. I editted various combinations with = NVDARESMAN = NVDANV50 and/or without = NVDANV40 and or withouth = NVANV30 and or without = NVinject and Geforce.kext replacing with my device 0x040210de (without & thing) Doing chmod 755 isnt always a good thing , since repairPermissions re-changes it. So I am carefull with that. chown root:wheel doesnt change when vi-in in -s mode. But I do check always. Then the in the /System/Library/Extenstions/ directory I do: rm -rdf ../Caches rm -rdf /Caches rm -rdf ../Extentions.mkext then I do the reboot and cross my fingers. Screenshot before it turns black on this post During boot under Nvinject section , I dont see my device. Only once, I've been able to see it, but i saw a incomplete Leopard background because of a blackbar. Now it does load window manager but see nothing, but Ive heard "itś eight o'clock"....so it starts properly the windowmanager. I plugged a monitor on my VGA out (I use DVI) but no signal at all. I have to admit that this is weird, especially that my girlfriend succeeded with a 7300GS on her Nforce4 without editting anything any kext! Could it be the DDR2 memory on my Geforce card? Prior under windows it showed shared memory and added it till 1024 MB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_Razor Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have the same problem with a 8600GT! Please could someone help us here! I know there are people out there who have it working! Regards Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komeet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes a lot of people have this card working but normally you just have to apply the graphic update and install nvinject or use the gfx-string-method and that's it. So I doubt that anybody can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l6c6f6r Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hmm, so if I do the gfx string thingy AND nvinject I get bad things? I thought I tried it without nvinject too. But I'll give it a shot brb reboot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l6c6f6r Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 OK with nvinject 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 I get black screen (but there is a signal, screenled is screen) Without nvinject and with the latest graphics update, modified NV50, RES, and Geforce with only 0x040210de and the result is: Black screen but without signal! (screenled becomes orange) Tried again to boot from VGA but idem. At least i dont get NVDA:: probe display <1> failed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
