MrDee Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I recently downloaded the Geforce FX 5200 Package to enable QE/CI. But, I can't install the Package because everytime I do so, the Mac OS X installer briefly appears in the Dock then disappears. I opened the package contents and launched the appropriate package for my card, but no luck, Installer quits. This the JAS 10.4.8 from Myz 10.4.5, I tried Repairing Disk Permissions, but no luck in solving the problem. I am wondering if anybody has had a similar issue could help me out with this? Thank you very much. This is what I'm trying to install: http://www.raskis.net/~prasys/gf5200.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot use this driver with JaS SSE2 Combo updates for AMD? Is the new kernel required for this driver to safely work without compromising the system?

cmdshft Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 OS X only uses OpenGL as far as I know... And fully supported by nVidia GPU's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattboi Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I really hope this will work with the nVideo FX5200 PCI card (not express) card I just ordered will work with this. I'm using 10.4.8 JaS SSE3 on a Dell Dimension 3000. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audit13 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi everybody, Please forgive my cluelessness but I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to put together a starter machine to learn about OS X. I have an Asus 775 motherboard (P5PE-VM) with an Intel 865 chipset, 1.0gb of ram (2x512), 250gb Seagate ide hard drive, LG dvd-rom, and a Gigabyte fx5200 128mb agp video card. I was able to install 10.4.8 AMD Intel sse2 sse3 using onboard video. I am able to get to the desktop. Lan is working but the AC97 audio sounds "tinny", as if it's missing all of the bass notes. The sound is nothing but a minor annoyance at the moment. I downloaded the 5200 package installer, repaired disk permissions, shutdown, installed my fx5200, rebooted, and got nothing but a blue screen. It looks like the desktop with absolutely no icons. At this point, the hard drive seems to stop reading (no hard drive light flashing on the machine) and I can't do anything but do a hard reboot. When I remove the card and go back to oboard video, everything is fine. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoree Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I have been looking high and low for a solution to my FX 5500 display problems,(no CI/QE), I have loaded natit and titan and the FX 5500 zip pkg, got dual display working ok, but in a thread about the Geforce 7600 card I found my solution. Set your AGP aperture size in your CMOS settings to no more than 128 MB, I did this,re-booted and........NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0326 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: hp L1730: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported hp L1730: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why QE/CI is still not supported? I still have the same situation. I'm going to try a Radeon 9700 to see what happens. My machine only boots in safe mode with the Jas 10.4.8 drivers. When I use the MacVidia 1.081 drivers, I can boot without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtakach Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I installed the driver and I has been working great, QE/CI both enabled and the system is running smooth especialy when using expose. Today though I tried to play some video in quicktime and in vlc and it is very choppy. Has anyone else run into this or does anyone know of a solution?

cmdshft Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Use this to make sure that you have the latest Semthex kernel: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=33039 That *should* fix your choppy video playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running the tubgirl image of 10.4.8 but after I installed it I upgraded to the semthex kernel using prasys's driver to 8.8.1 I didn't do anything special to the driver, I didn't edit it or anything I just let it install.

audit13 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Mauro, Did you try deleting AGPgart.kext or using an updated kext? I could only get QE/CI on an Intel machine by deleting the AGPgart.kext file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
