Just installed 10.4.4 from 10.4.3 ... THANK YOU MAXXUSS :happymac:

 

Install went fine, used mach_kernel.all

 

After repairing disk permissions, and playing around I ran Xbench 1.2 before rebooting

 

 

This is weird I can see the openGL test now on Xbench. I took a video of it; with the window static it displays a static picture; if I drag the window around I can see it refreshing and the open GL shapes moving

 

Xbench itself seems to time out and give a score of 6. Drop out the open GL test and I get 67.4

(in 10.4.3 I got 59 with the opengl test showing black screen; didnt test with opngl toggled off in 10.4.3)

 

About this mac gives:

 

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller

Bus: PCIe

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0099

Revision ID: 0x00a1

Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded

Displays:

Display:

Resolution: 1024 x 768

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Not Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

 

Its nvidia 7800GTX on dell 9300. I followed the maxxuss procedure to the letter regarding kernel extensions, so nothing funky going on, its staightforward 10.4.4 install

 

Does this anomaly suggest more nvidia compatibilty?

Anyone want any other information form this install beofre I reboot?

I can see videos in Itunes great, gonna play aorund and see if the graphics are better, kept 10.4.3 partition too just in case 10.4.4 went haywire
