SkyZ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 okay, as promised, here's a little tutorial about editing info.plist, you'll need PlistEdit Pro: Natit: Under Vendors, you'll see 0x1002 and 0x10DE, 1002 is for ATI, and 10DE is for nVidia. If I got a GeForce 6800 Ultra (DevID = 0x004010de) and it's not shown on the list, you can simply add a child to 0x10DE branch, or duplicate any child there and modify the value to fit your card. NVDAResman: At IOPCIMatch, add your DevID here if it's not listed, for example, if 0x004010de not there, simply add it but remember to keep the existing string. NVDANVx0HAL: Same as NVDAResman, but you must know which one to edit, there're 10, 20, 30, and 40. I'm only sure 40 is for 6/7x00 series and 30 for 5x00 series, for older card, better ask other pirates here. GeForce: At IOPCIMatch, put exactly your DevID here (ie. 0x004010de if you have a 6800 Ultra). That's about it, I'm absolutely an idiot on programming, just keep reading posts from all the experts here and now I know a little bit about Plist editing, so, correct me if I'm wrong. Enjoy~~ PS: Don't know why the board doesn't allow me to add inline image, so..... please click the link to check out the screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyZ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 one more thing, although permission can set via GUI, you must use cmd/terminal to set permission (ie.: sudo chown root:wheel and sudo chmod 755), otherwise kext won't load on start up. It's kinda weird..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oisteink Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Speculative :pirate2: My monitor (internal fp on tosh p20) don't give any edid info through i2c, but I can get an edid 1.1 block through ddc. My block generated from SwitchResX (removed GeForce.kext, NVDANV30Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext to boot with vesa drivers) is attached. This is probably why i got no info from linux/windows edid tools. In windows I got a pseudo-edid from registry, probably generated by the NVidia driver (Manufacturer ID was Nvid) Will look into this more later, but RL is calling /oisteink VGA_SVGA_Display.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hello all. This is my first post on IM and I really want to thank the community for being so helpful and creative. Tonight after my ~15th install of osX I finally was able to get titan working with CI and QE and I was overjoyed, but then after a reboot the dreaded blank screen began. I have gone through the tutorial and am posting my ioreg. I tried to follow protocol but if something needs to be changed let me know. I hope someone can help. Thank you. Jason Try rebooting a few more times. Most of the time my machine boots fine with the video stuff in this thread, but sometimes, and sometimes a few times in a row, it insists on booting to the blank screen. I just turn it off with the power switch when it seems to be done with disk activity and reboot it. And in a try or two, the proper screen gets initialized. This is not a real solution, but it is the best I can get for my own system at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 hi,romanosgr, this is wangning from china. i am struggling to get the problem over soon enough,however i have made little progress. i guess that the problem is not that osx's own nvidia drivers have not been activated,but that they have not been correctly informed the details of my main display device,my laptop's internal lcd.that's why i've got a black screen to be staring at while the osx is enjoying itself behind.this is also our savior,np_, is trying to deal with. first of all, he gave us a kext named laptopdisplay.kext,which is used to inject into the system registry some keys about the laptop lcd.to make it work,we also need another modified kext named iographicfamily.kext,which reads the details of lap lcd we put into /system/library/displays/overrides,generated by a tool provided by np_,named diplayutility.the left is using nvidiaefi.kext or some combinations such as nvidiaefi+titan or nvidiaefi+natit to activate the apple nvidia drivers. but my prolem is that if i put away all apple nvidia drivers,the laptopdisplay can insert the keys into the system device tree;if i restore all apple nvidia drivers,it doesn't work.besides,the modified iographicfamily.kext seems not be able to read my lcd's details.finally,i've got a black screen with nvidiaefi.kext or whatever nvidia driver activators installed. i guess that the problem is cause by kext dependency or kext confict,but i believe that np_ can bring salvation back.

Mr. Green Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Does everyone have dependency issues with LaptopDisplay.kext? I have QE/CI and resoution switching on my Inspiron 8500 but fade to white on the internal screen, although i have resolution switching on that too. I get the exact same results if i completely remove LaptopDisplay.kext, which has dependency issues if loaded. Could this be why? I am using the new NvidiaEFI, IOGraphicsFamily, and LaptopDisplay.

I cant check an external monitor, since I don't have one to test. beside kext dependency,it seems that NVidiaKEFI won't get along with apple drivers because os boots with black screen as long as i put it into the entensions. and laptopdisplay also has problem with apple drivers,because with apple drivers in extensions,it can't insert keys into system device tree.

Nebzar Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 new pack for test include iographicsfamily, nvidiaefi and latopdisplay.kext install, test and report that pack is for nvidia cards only, i will do latter same but for natit i am sorry i do respond on this "lappie" problem slowly but i am overloaded with my own life , work .etc and almost no time for nothing thanks np_ np_, any news on a similar package for us ATI owners?

Mr. Green Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 it seems that NVidiaKEFI won't get along with apple drivers because os boots with black screen as long as i put it into the entensions. NvidiaEFI does get along with the Apple drivers, as long as the proper device id is added to the apple kexts. Add your device id to the kexts you need, and it will work. It did for me, and delivers much better performance than natit and titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using NvdiaEFI insted of natit, and make sure that nvdanv40hal.kext is the one you need. If your device id is in the wrong one, that may cause the panic. It is necessary to have either natit or NvidiaEFI loading correctly if NVDAResman is also loading. If NVDAResman loads on its own without natit or NvidiaEFI, you will get a kernel panic, so double check that natit or NvidiaEFI is loading properly. If you continue getting the panic, remove NVDAResman completely, but you will need to put it back to have resolution swiching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many fragments of instructions that I'm not sure what to do to get this working. I think it would benefit everyone if someone posted complete instructions (i.e. how to test this driver starting with a stock OS X 8.8.1 Semthex install). That way more people can confidently test this out and post results so we can work out bugs ASAP. I'm certain we could get more input if more people could figure out how to test this stuff.
