nkear5 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is it worth the effort to have darwin show a number? Or is your card not working at all?

nkear5 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Have you tried Punk92's installer? http://www.mediafire.com/?5sibmlxdghj Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96321-geforce-8500-gt-1gb-wont-work/#findComment-687659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaim Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 yep same problem and that one does not even give me a 1gb option so Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96321-geforce-8500-gt-1gb-wont-work/#findComment-687660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkear5 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is another option. Don't kill me if it breaks your install . But risks have to be taken backup your things before you attempt this. You're going to have to install a kext called NVidiaEFI. http://www.filesplurge.com/splurge/NVidiaEFI.kext.zip Assuming you have already updated to 10.5.2, after the grey apple logo, your screen will go black. This is normal, just wait for 2-5 minutes and the desktop will come. After you have successfully booted install the following kernel package. http://www.mediafire.com/?suegrdh049j Good luck.

nkear5 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Alternatively, have a snoop around here. http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewforum.php?...287b2e5215ab3f7 Version 1.0.2 is on there and it has support for cards 512mb and up, so it would be worth while to try this first if you havn't already tried the one I posted previously.

cyclonefr Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Did you try to put 10.5.2 drivers from Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 + edit NVInject.kext so totalVRAM is set to 1 GB ? No don't ask me how, tutorials / search function are there for that.
