mikeetastic Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ok. Than you never added gpu powermanagement for your Mac Type ID (MacMini3.1). Same for me iMac5,1 , i use, hasnt any AGPM active.MacMini didnt have in real such an gpu so, AGPM is not active Thats OK for Apple Machines. To getting AGPM working , better visit other thread, too offtpic that driver thread. In short: You need 2 injectors (like AHCIPort) which are prepared for your gpu dev-id and Mac Type ID and put them into the /Extra/Extensions + .mkext. One config is much more easy , only one key (iMac5,1) > yours, And one gpu deviceID(0191) > yours. The other . plist is much bigger and has lots of iMac5,1 entries to change to yours ! Dont miss one to edit, otherwise no effect. Attached both , change my used iMac5,1 into yours (all occurences !) and gpu deviceid 0191 (only once) into yours Thanks mitchde for the kind reply but t seems GPU PM is not working for me.. i made the kext work and loaded with no error on my machine but my GPU is still running at full (vanilla kext or not) not sure what i am missing! sorry for the OT.. maybe someone can point me where is the thread about GPU PM..

schustah Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 NVIDIA Driver Installer 19.5.8f03 with hardware check removed: http://filebeam.com/ffd7a1f0b80638f13c28a5a3236b7a81 was going to upload this for people a while ago but spaced it. Alternatively you can (and what I did originally) view contents of the original package and install each package (theres 3 of them) individually since the hardware check is only on the parent installer but you will need to repair permissions after.

mitch_de Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Whats your GPU device ID ? You may attatch your two .kext also, so i can take a look. Also an must (check with kextstat ) : AppleLPC and AppleHWSensor (both orig. Apple kext) must loaded (shown in kextstat output list).

thenewcraze Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Any word on HDMI? 10.6.3+ broke the ability to do HDMI-HDMI and even HDMI-DVI (GTS 250). I'm running my PC through a audio receiver to a projector and I need this capability!

ileikcaek Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I installed this, first reboot KP second reboot it worked... I have a GT220 1GB Not sure on whether there is a performance boost or not, not sure how to test it as I didn't test anything before updatint to tell a difference Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222913-nvidia-releases-1958f03-for-285-and-lower-on-1064/page/2/#findComment-1502793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Beside my lost of the gpu powermanagement i have no better performance . I think that driverset F3 is really only usefull for GTX 285 (speed ?) and to get Fermi 4xx working. So i would only try that on GTX 2xx or Fermi cards. (not for 8xxx, 7xxx, 9xxx cards, because no more speed, maybe problems).

Plucka Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hey all I have the drivers installed and am using a Palit GT240 512MB Nvidia card. What I dont see in the about this mac info, see pics (left DVI to HDMI in) (right HDMI to HDMI in), is that it is a recognized chipset or vendor?. Also HDMI out to my Samsung Television just gives me a blue screen? Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the about this mac stuff straight or doesnt it really matter? Is it just cosmetic? Also the blue screen I get when I connect HDMI out to HDMI in on my Tele? EDIT, HDMI works after leaving DVI adaptor in and then plugging HDMI into HDMI port on video card. Removed DVI adaptor and rebooted the PC starts up with no problems, cant really tell if there is a performance improvement though. Must say the picture looks/feels crisper in any case. EDIT EDIT EDIT: Stopped working had to revert back to 7600GT. Lost nearly all resolution options, does anyone have any tips for installing the above mentioned card? Thanks in advance for any replies I may receive, cheers Plucka Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222913-nvidia-releases-1958f03-for-285-and-lower-on-1064/page/2/#findComment-1507730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 working on my Geforce Go 7600 with res change + QE/CI via NVEnabler (the one for 64 which also works fine in 32). Thanks NVidia, xtremegamer, xforce, and all who wanna be mentioned .. I applied this update because, since 10.6.0 or 1 (don't remember), I have been suffering from annoying "jerks" in the graphics, and every once in a while a complete screen distortion for which to clear up I would have to put the monitor to sleep via Exposé and rewake it via kb or tp. So I need to see in the following days now if this driver finally makes graphics as pleasant in X as in Win & Ubuntu here. If so I would be very happy. Then there would only be sound left on this HackBook to straighten out 100%, yippie Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222913-nvidia-releases-1958f03-for-285-and-lower-on-1064/page/2/#findComment-1519873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mips1 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Besides pacifist, there are two ways to modify the installer to work without checking if you have a 285 (the drivers are universal). I used the second way to install on my GTS 250. #1 #2 Thanks, you're a legend.

Tha Man Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Tried to install this driver but had no luck with my GeForce 9800M GTS. I spend whole day reading forum and trying almost all up to day solutions, but had no success in running hardware accelerated OpenGL In fact it worked tomorrow, but after update to 1.6.4 i had kernel panic because of VooDooHDA and in process of it's fix i broke video driver. I run iATKOS S3 v2, picked up EFI Strings for DVI/DVI and NVEnabler before installation. Maybe i should reinstall Mac OS with other options?
