vani Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Awesome. Fixes my "stall on boot" issue with a Club 3D 8400GS 256 MB. Can you describe what exactly you did to those kexts? By the way, it is possible to increase the version numbers of your kexts so that they are loaded no matter what future updates might install in the system. In order to do that, rename the kexts (e.g., put the word "override" in front of the name), and change the version number by adding "99"in front of it (e.g., 2.0 --> 992.0" in the Info.plist files (I used the script below to do that prior to installation of the kexts). This way, the original kexts can stay where they are but your kexts will always override them. PLISTS=$(find /Users/.../folder_where_your_nvidia_kexts_are/ -name *plist) for PLIST in $PLISTS ; do NAME=$(echo $PLIST | sed -e 's|.plist||g') echo $NAME V=$(defaults read $NAME CFBundleVersion) SV=$(defaults read $NAME CFBundleShortVersionString) defaults write $NAME CFBundleVersion 99$V defaults write $NAME CFBundleShortVersionString 99$SV plutil -convert xml1 $PLIST done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matias Kottwitz Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Good truth did nothing out of this world only uses kexts DP4 version of Mountain lion as the dependencies are satisfied in Mountain Lion GM what you tell me the version numbers of the kexts you can do and then upload them? my English is very basic and did not understand much thanks and greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vani Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Attached are the 2 kexts with edited plist files to that they override (get loaded instead of) Apple's kexts. When a system update installs new versions, my version should "win". Let me know if it works for you. Btw, I did not need the NVEnabler (I use GraphicsEnabler=Yes).

Matias Kottwitz Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 If I needed the NVEnabler + GraphicsEnabler = yes otherwise not work for me, I will try your kexts thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elad Nava Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Using the same kexts with 9500GT in ML works great EXCEPT I'm not getting QE/CI. I'm getting: 1. Dual Monitors 2. Max Resolution on both of them Only thing left is QE/CI. Anyone know what could prevent me from getting it? Do I need GeForce.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matias Kottwitz Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 in your case the solution will come by the activator or the NVEnabler.kext kexts should change this for others and try, you could also try for DSDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufdah Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Still not working for me, but then I'm using a integrated Nvidia 9300... The NVDAResman.kext in your patch allows me to boot with software graphics acceleration but it's fixed resolution and SLOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebowa Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Still not working for me, but then I'm using a integrated Nvidia 9300... The NVDAResman.kext in your patch allows me to boot with software graphics acceleration but it's fixed resolution and SLOW! Same here. I can NOT get this 9300M GS card to work correctly. It shows up correctly in System Information, but all I get is the standard 1024x768 resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salado Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I tried both methods from Vani and Matias. Neither works for me. My graphics card is very old XFX NVidia 7900 GS 256MB. Worked very well under 10.7.3 with QE/CI. If I don't boot in safe mode, the boot will stuck. I need to remove the following kernel extensions in S/L/E to get it boot but only in 1024x768. drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Sep 24 2011 GeForce.kext drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Sep 24 2011 GeForceGA.plugin drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Sep 24 2011 GeForceGLDriver.bundle drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Sep 24 2011 GeForceVADriver.bundle But those are stock GeForce drive extensions. I would guess GeForce card won't work without them. I also tried to copy all GeForceXXXX.kext from my working 10.7.3 (running in 64-bit) but no help. Any ideas?

johnlewisdesign Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 salado please read the thread title QE / CI on Mountain Lion GM with the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB files for download Please create your own thread and you might even get a response. If everyone did this, more stuff would get solved. Just saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ech1965 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hello, I use those files ( post #4 ) successfully on my Hackintoch ml 10.8.2. Are those files compatibles with the 10.8.3 update ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosekefik Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 When i connect the card i have a kernel panic! I'm on a 10.8.0 with a core i5 processor.. With integrated graphics (Intel HD4000) it works, but i haven't QE/CI! Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ech1965 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 anyone updated to 10.8.3 yet? I just sucessfully updated my 10.8.2 to 10.8.3! Looks like the version override patch worked. I'll try to do a clean install soon just to check if those modules are still needed .... EDIT: I redownloaded ML from the APP store ( 10.8.3 ) and created a new USB key with the latest ##### KO I cannot reach the installer. boot with -x or -v gives a black screen ( My lcd screen goes in power save mode) I ordered a GTX650 card !
