Apacalypse Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey guys, Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not stating the situation properly. I am have snow leopard installed and it sees both graphics cards but I can't get QE/CI, I have tried Graphicsenable=y and changed the resolution so that matches so thats works. However that is the fur as I can go. I understand that I may have to do some DSDT edits to get my graphics cards to working or am I missing something. Is there something else i can try? I have just heard that DSDT edits are the best way to get things working. The name of my motherboard is Dell D881F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apacalypse Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hey MaLd0n, I really appriciated that, thank you so much, you are the Best. I just have a few more question..I have created a boot plist previously that i have been using. That has got me thus far along with the legacy kernel, without it i couldn't boot. Should I use a stock Plist? I've put it in the extra folder along with the DSDT and it booted great from the current instalation that i am using. I know noticed my Dvd drives now work that is great. Now am i suppose to do something else to get the QE/CI? I updated to to 10.6.5 and got a kernel panic. I then updated to 10.6.6, I didn't get the kernel panic but it still didn't boot. I just get that circle with the X. I have never gotted this far with a DSDT so I am a little stumped I though i could just put is is the extra folder and I am good. Am I missing something? I reinstalled with just a vanilla approach and now it says a something about a kernel panic "steal memory or something" or something like that. I hate to bombard you with questions like that but I an not really sure of what to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apacalypse Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ok so no legacy kernel that is good it never work for 10.6.6 thats why I was on 10.6.3. So -v, what about my boot Plist I put busratio=22 pciRoot=4 -force64 and Graphicsenable=y, all in the boot Plist previously to boot along with deleting all NV Kexts. I no longer need any of those? I have 2 nvidia Quadro FX 4800. I will update to 10.6.6 now and try a purely vanilla approach. I will post results. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apacalypse Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 10.6.6? post a photo yeah I am on 10.6.6 I am going to try to use the legacy kernel from 10.6.4, I never got 10.6.6 to work. OK so the legacy kernel 10.6.4 works but a black screen is all I get. In the past what I did was delete the all the Nv kexts, but i need those right?

d4vinder Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi, Can I be extremely cheeky and ask for a 10.6.3 P5b Deluxe Installation DSDT? I have the same issue about using multiple gfx cards. I tried to get my head around DSDT but I wasnt successful and gave up after trying for about 2 weeks. If you do help, can I ask you kindly to direct me in the manner to which I use install a DSDT and make sure it communicates with my board properly. Many thanks in advance fellas.
