Georgechar Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 So remeber my older topic on upgrading? Well i screwed up everything so i made a clean new installation and used time machine backup to put back everything working. So everything was working correctly including sound,ethernet,usb,cd drivers EXCEPT my graphics I realized this when i clicked on time machine it couldn't go in that "fancy" galaxy mode of time machine. It just got stuck and had to force quit time machine! So i clicked on "Apple logo",about this mac and more info and found that for graphics it said ATI Radeon HD, although my computer has a Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics card with 512 MB. So i searched for the kext, installed using kext helper, and the kext appearred to have installed correctly. So when re-booted the system, i had the same problem! Can anyone give me a working kext? I already re-installed 3 times with different customizable install options through Hazard's Snow Leopard Disk! My computer is a HP Pavillion DV5 Entertainment. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

nethwka Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Have you installed nvenabler?If yes you just have to mod the Geforce.kext and put it back again at /Extensions.Restart and thats all! Edit: Just do the following: Grab geforce.kext from your extensions folder and make a copy on your desktop. secondary click, and click show package contents. Open info.plist. Look for this: 0x000010de & 0x0000ffff The first set will be the first thing changed. Specifically, these: 0x000010de. add your four letter/number device ID, replacing the four bold-faced 0's. this can be found at system profiler --> graphics/displays It should now look like this (this one is mine): 0x029210de The second part is easy. 0x0000ffff change the bold-faced 0's to f's. Save the info.plist. Open up kexthelper (it's included in "Snow_Support_Files_V2"), and drag your modified geforce.kext into it. enter your password, and hit the magic button (when he say bold-faced 0's he means the zeros after the x) Copied from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=205345 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/246578-problems-with-graphics-card/#findComment-1634997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
