kytzu Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 there is a diference between 10.5.2 and 10.5.3/10.5.4. Try to find your nvinject version for 10.5.3 and it should work on 10.5.4 as well.

jditto_51 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I used "nvinstaller" to get mine up and going. Once you upgrade to 10.5.3, go to your extensions folder and delete all of the nvidia or geforce related drivers. after that run the nvinstaller package. When its finished reboot and you should be good to go.

Gujal Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Dont use nvinstaller as it will install all old kexts. 10.5.4 kexts are newer and better. NVInject does not work anymore. You have to use NVKush Installer (similar to NVInject but works on 10.5.3+) or be brave and start using EFI Graphics string Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115665-1054-nvinject-problem/#findComment-827116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbarday Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I got NVInject to work with my 8800 GS after upgrading to 10.5.4 from 10.5.2 on Zephyroth's AMD using the AMD Apple Software Update tool. The update installs a version of NVDAResman.kext that is tied to an Intel CPU-- use Marvin's AMD Utility to remove the cpuid and Quartz Extreme and Core Image should start working again. You don't have to use EFI strrings necessarily-- I had the hardest time getting them to work with AMD EFI (maybe AMD EFI doesn't support gfx strings? Oh well, question for another post). Oh! I forgot to add-- you need to fix permissions on NVInject.kext when you install it to /System/Library/Extensions. Do the following: - boot with the flags -s -v - $ /sbin/mount -uw / - cd /System/Library/Extensions - chmod -R 755 * - chown -R root:wheel * - cd /System/Library - rm Extensions.mkext - reboot Then, when the system restarts, boot with -v and you can get details on what is failing. You may have a kernel panic, which you may be able to fix by removing kexts for other graphics cards and setting the right IDs in the plists for NVDAResman.kext, Geforce.kext, and one of NVDA50Hal.kext, NVDA40Hal.kext, NVDA30Hal.kext. - N Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115665-1054-nvinject-problem/#findComment-881966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 my two cents; The only way for me to get CI/QE on 10.5.4 is with Natit. NVKush, EFI Strings and NVInject don't work for me anymore for some reason. All three used to work.. So if you have no luck with those, try Natit as well.
