fjs Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The simple setup I am using has a 945 chipset and a NVidia 7300GT 256MB graphics card, 0x0353 (Asus). Kalyway 10.5.1 installs and runs fine on my hardware, with no graphics problems, butupdating to 10.5.2 following Netkas/Devin instructions produces an installation which has the black screen and 2 cursors, unless I Safe Boot. I have all upgrades installed, but am using the Netkas 9.2.0 non-speedstep kernel.1. Regressing to 10.5.1 NVidia extensions fails2. Natit fails to solve, but loads fine.3. NVInject in several versions loads fine, but fails to solve.4. I get NV??HAL40?? loading, but with display specific matching failing. The boot does not progress to completion, but this may be due to something else.5. I tried < 7e0200000100000001000000720200000e00000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000010101 0000007fff04000e0000004e00560050004d00000020000000010000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000024000000400030002c005600520041004d002c006d0065006d007306 007a00650000000c00000000000004000000081c0000006400650076006900630065005f00740790 700065000000100000004e5644412c4765466f7263650e0000006e0061006d00650000000f000004 5644412c506172656e7422000000400030002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079070006 0000000b000000646973706c617922000000400031002c006400650076006900630065005f074007 007000650000000b000000646973706c6179100000006d006f00640065006c000000170000047654 6f72636520373330302047542045464920000000400031002c0063006f006d007000610040069006 006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d616314000000400030002c006e0061006006500000 120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4114000000400031002c006e0061006d00650000012000 004e5644412c446973706c61792d4220000000400030002c0063006f006d00700061074006900620 6c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d61631e00000072006f006d002d007200500760069007 0069006f006e0000000800000033313735100000004e005600430041005000000010000000400000 000003000c000000000000070000000024000000400031002c005600520041004d02c006d0065006 00730069007a00650000000c0000000000001000000020>which does not work.5. Inserting different personalities in the relevant *.kexts does not work.6. PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)And yes, I have touched ../../Extensions.mkextI would appreciate any thoughts about how to get this basic card functioning, or the offer of a proper gfx-string. Thanks.I should explain that 4 above results from using the gfx-string approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Your device ID is probably missing in the new kexts. Anyway, you'd better remove the string by the time you fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjs Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks. AFAIK I get the black screen with 0x0353 inserted. I am getting another card to solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
