Nvidia 256mb Geforce 7300LE

So I successfully installed Leopard on my Dell Dimension E521 with the Leo4All 10.5.2 AMD/INTEL SSE2/SSE3. Though my Video Card isnt working with even Nvinject.kext (the latest version) or this tool: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83931

which caused a kernel panic so I'll have to reinstall Leopard, meanwhile I really want to get my dual monitors working... without any drivers upon the first boot of Leopard the default setting was 1024/768 resolution but the second display was just mirrored. The Nvinject just made system profiler recognize the video card, though I wasnt able to set the resolution any higher than 1024/768. Also, I wasn't able to do dual monitors which led me to the installer in that first link above which leaves me now at a stand-still, anyone have any ideas?. Thanks in adance for quick responses!.

OK I reinstalled OSX, tried to install the "Leo-only_NVinject_0.1.3.zip" from http://nvinject.free.fr/downloads.php and it gave me this message upon startup:

System extension "/System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

 

So I obviously installed it wrong, so let me explain how I installed it:

Copy Nvinject.kext into folder: /System/Library/Extensions

Open Terminal and type:

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

diskutil repairpermissions /

 

restart

As you can see in the attatchment I got System Profiler to recognize my video card, although it's still stuck at 1024x768 and I still only have mirrored dual displays which isn't what I want. Can't adjust anything in System Preferences. Any ideas?.

Well here is my thought. I found out in the past that doing this

 sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions

 

sometime doesn't work. I'd change it to

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

 

I had the same error message before and when I ran the new chown command, it works like a charm. Also check it under the system profiler again to see whether the ROM driver say something like NVinject. If not, then the NVinject is not installed. Based on the error you described earlier, I don't think you installed the NVinject.

 

What's misssing also is deleting these two directories

 

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/Caches
  sudo rm -R /System/Library/Caches

 

something like that. Check where the caches and delete both before you reboot. Your system should detect the NVinject. Now whether the NVinject will let you do the dualview that's a different issue. I still have no luck making it works.

 

Good luck to you.
