Gigabyte NVidia 7600GS

[funkymaxuser]

Hello everyone, i need help.

i have videocard Gigabyte nvidia 7600GS (device id 0x0392)

how can i make QE/CI work i try to many patches nothing work.

 

also i try this

 

 

 

I made this QE/CI work on my Gainward 7600GS PCI-e 256Mb 128bit...

 

First, I have reinstalled my iPC x86 10.5.6 PPF5 Universal Final version of mac.

I installed it without any NVinject nor any other graphic kext that can be installed during OS installation.

 

Than I started EFIStudio choose my card, click Add device, and in new oppened window choose write to com.Apple.boot.plist, reboot, and whooalaaa... Here is what I got:

 

 

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 830x602.

 

 

You can probably make it work with erasing all previous Video drivers kexts in S/L/E directory.

 

 

But there is another problem.. I cnnot get my sound work again. It worked last time when I did it using Audio in Wiki(insanelymac), but now its not working.... I got an error in step 13...

 

If someone can help me I would appreciate that. Im using MSI 945PL Neo-F motherboard with ALC850 audio device on it.

 

 

 

Solution 2

 

I have a 7600GS running ok.

I Use NVINJECT 0.2.1 from iPC but I got 512MB and no QE/CI like you.

 

This worked for me:

Modify the file /system/library/extensions/nvinject.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Edit it and find this:

 

<key>VRAM,totalsize</key>

<data>

AAAAIA==

 

Replace the I for an E : which means to change 512 for 256MB

 

It should look:

<key>VRAM,totalsize</key>

<data>

AAAAEA==

 

Voila!! I get 256, and QE/CI running.

I hope it helps, let me know.

HI!

I have a Nvidia Geforce 7600 gs Gygabyte.

In Kalyway 10.5.2 works, but in iAtkos v7 I can get graphic acceleration...

DO you know something?

 

I had tried several kexts, but I can get video acceleration!

Ok i think you mean "i cannot get video acceleration"! Anyway try this: Copy and replace the graphics extensions from kalyway 10.5.2 (geforce**.kext and nv**.kext all of them) to your extensions folder to enable qe/ci. Use any injector you want (try some) .Thats what i did to obtain qe/ci on my nvidia 7600gt agp on mac 10.5.6. Hope this works for you . good luck.

You need to patch your card's bios - its only way to get QE. Kexts will not help.

Hi,

 

I have a MSI 7600gs, i used OSX86 tools to generate the efi string.

 

Though the string only work in 32bit mode, i have a kernel panic while using x64.

 

Make sure you add arch=i386 to your boot.plist before rebooting.

 

Hope this helps, should work for your card too.

I have a similar problem, but if I use 32 bit still no QE/CI

 

I am running 10.6.3 with an XFX GeForce 7600GS 256MB card. I generated the EFI string with OSX86 tools and put that into the com.apple.Boot.plist of Extra. Screen resolutions are fine when booting in 32bit, but no QE/CI. In 64 bit I get only 1280x1040 resolution and no QE/CI.

 

I would appreciate if anyone can help. Ive tried several methods to get QE/CI working and no go. Below is what I see from the chameleon devprop.plist. I have noticed in what others have posted from generating EFI strings that NVDA,GeForce is usually present rather than NVDA,Parent when specifying device type. Also, I see it lists *display* in the area where it usually lists NVDA,Parent. Is this any clue to why I can not get QE/CI working? EFI string is the only thing I have in use, no NVinject and I set chameleon GraphicsEnable to No. I had it set to Yes but there was no difference.

 

I have made so many changes I am getting confused now. If anyone getting QE/CI to work with the 7600GS 256mb can post their kexts or links to them that would be great.

Make sure your specific card is supported... I flashed my card using one of these. Also be sure you read the procedure on how its done, you could mess up your card if you don't do it right
