sirwilliam Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So I did what you said, and everything seems to work with a few exceptions. The bar on the top (with the Apple logo) is like grey, not transparent. Also when I click the Apple logo, click about this mac, then click more info, then proceed to click the graphics/display (which I was going to check if quartz extreme was supported) I get a dialogue box and the computer freezes and says it needs to be restarted in 4 different languages. I think this is what happens when there is a kernel panic right? Any suggestions?

Sisyphe Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've done additional tests and I identified more precisely the problem with my 8800 Ultra: when I scroll (vertically or horizontally) a picture in Photoshop (with the hand tool) or when I move the view up and down in Quake/Doom, I see a sort of horizontal blurry wave. The display is rendered correctly as soon as the scrolling stops. Do you have the same issue with the 9800 GTX ? If no, maybe I'll replace my GFX card or wait for 10.5.3. Thanks!

aqua-mac Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 No problems here with 9800 GTX or 8800 GTX, so maybe it is your card or maybe you need to re-install. If I were you, I would see if 10.5.3 makes any difference first. How long have you had the card?

OMX-Knuckles Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks for the kexts! Worked like a charm on my card. The NVInject didn't enable QE/CI or OpenGL but I used the gfxutil you provided and that did work. I'm using 10.5.2 native with EFI v8.

Sisyphe Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've bought it 2 weeks ago on eBay, it works fine on Windows. I've tried with a fresh Leopard install, with 10.5, 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 beta kext and even with your 8800 GTX bios from your site, EFI strings or NVInject. Each time I've noticed the same issue...

aqua-mac Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Tankk, Can you post your input file? I would remove the Legacy, 10 and timeout part anyway. Sisyphe, maybe the card needs down-clocking slightly. I have not encountered this problem.

aqua-mac Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well it looks OK, you should double check the PCI address: <key>PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x9,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key> You don't say what motherboard you have. Does the card work with Natit or NVInject?

aqua-mac Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ahh, an nforce board again. I am starting to wonder if this maybe the problem, that is 3 SLi boards now that dont seem to be able to get CI & QE going. I wonder if this relates to the problem I had getting the 7900 GX2 to have CI & QE?

macbrush Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I got this working for a couple of days now. I just wonder whether this card is supposed to be this hot. It is so hot that you can barely touch the back of the card, and its always this hot, even idling.

rean Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Unfortunately I cannot get my GeForce 9500m GS 512MB work with Quartz Extreme, but color management is working - the same results with NVInject you recommended. I used your 512MB version then replaced PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) All the content of aquamac.zip was copied using command: sudo cp -R ~/aquamac/* /System/Library/Extensions NVInject was removed and permissions were corrected. Do I correct? Anyone had successfully enabled CI in 9500m GS?

macbrush Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Dd you generate the hex codes from gfxutil and put that into your Boot.plist as well? Just the PciRoot values won't cut it.

vlad1966 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 aqua-mac, This is excellent - thanks for all your hard work & info. Which brand/model 9800GTX are you using? I had a 8800GTS G92 by PNY that had some issues booting correctly and want to make sure I avoid the same problem if I decide to upgrade from my passively-cooled Radeon HD3870. Still, the ATI HD 4870 is coming out soon . . . Decisions, decisions . . .
