ufk Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hello I have motherboard of Gigabyte 965P-DS3 and i have gfx card of nvidia Geforce 8600GT that is connected with PCI-E slot. I have a widescreen monitor with a resoution of 1440x900. When i installed 10.5.2 it provided a resolution of 1024x760 with no transparent effect to the mac panel. After i installed Nvidia installer 2 and reboot, my screen resolution was changed to 800x600 60Hz and my mac panel is transparent. when i try to change new resolutions i get a blue empty screen and only a restart fixes that. any ideas? thanks!

Sorry for bad english Try this NVinject file which works on my friends 8600GT. If you have error on boot, boot with -f flag and if that works and your resolutions work then you may have to add the -f flag to the boot file so it boots with it on every boot as my friend had to do (actually as I had to do for him lol) NVinject.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98878-geforce-8600gt-working-on-low-res/#findComment-712201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Thanks. I tried -f flag and -v -f. In the result i have several kernel crashes and blue screen . Can't see my desktop. Ofcourse i tried without any flags.

seye Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 You have to update the rights to the kext. Or use kexthelper. Here is my NVCAP value that works with my 8600GT 512MB VGA: 04000000 00000400 03000000 00000007 00000000 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98878-geforce-8600gt-working-on-low-res/#findComment-757714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
