Densa Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I've been struggling to get my 6600gt for days now and I think I've tried everything and anything. 1. Installed uphuck 1.3 with natit -> all black, so i removed natit manually and can boot in 1024 2. Tried natit (dual and normal), titan, macvidia and nvidiaefi -> same as above 3. Edited geforce, nvdanv40, and nvdaresman with any of above ->black 4. I keep edited geforce and nvdanv40 but remove natit and replace nvdaresman with the original. -> Boot in 1024 5. So osx boots with just geforce and nvdanv40 edited and orginal nvdaresman. I try with an older version of nvdaresman and edit it. -> Nothing, or no graphic atleast. Stays when booting loginwindow. I have dvi+vga output on my card and tried both, even with dvi->vga adapter. Now I try to edit nvdaresman without installing natit to get it working. I've tried to edit it in many ways (added id in the beginning or end, with some suffix or without and so on) and all results are the same. Why can't I edit this file? What can be the problem? I really need some help here before I'm lacking out... AAARRRGGGHH My h/wMSI P965 Core2duo 4400 Gigabyte 6600ti (2 outputs pcie) 0x0140 Any ideas?

Densa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thanks for the tip but unfortunately it didn't work. "Please reboot" screen pops up. Any more suggestions? BTW I've updated to 10.4.10 but the problem remains. /Dennis Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57902-unable-to-edit-nvdaresman-successfully/#findComment-413862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Densa Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Tnx Boinkytwo but my os DO boot if I remove my ID entries in nvdaresman.kext. The problem is I cannot add my device id without causing hangs or "black displays". I've just done a clean install with jas 10.4.8 and can't get my nvidia gfx working correctly with acceleration. I tried to install titan, natit, nvidiaefi, nvinject both with or without kext editing. I've noticed my os hangs even if i edit nvdaresman WITHOUT installing natit or such so my 1st goal now is to add the id's in the files and get osx starting without natit.

boinkytwo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 forget about your video card as of the moment. the priority objective now is, that you will be able to boot osx and reaching the desktop. from thereon, you will have all the chances to install and edit drivers for you video card. you can work around with your video card later on, so long that youll be able to boot your osx intallation.

Densa Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 I agree and I'm sorry if I was unclear in my earlier posts. I CAN boot my Os X into graphical mode without nitan/titan and without any modifications to nvdaresman. But when I add my devID to nvdaresman it gets unbootable, same scenario if i add titan or natit. I'm ready to give up I've tried a few different osx installations, i've tried macvidia, nvinject, natit, titan (with and without ready installers), i've tried to edit geforce, nvdanv40 and nvdaresman, i've tried to replace opengl.framework and the kextxs from apple's official package. All this in different combinations. Just one more straight question to all of you with edited nvdaresman.kext: Do your os x boot without titan or natit (WITH edited nvdaresman)?

boinkytwo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 what were you using to connect your video card to your display, dvi or vga port? i think it might be an issue...

Densa Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yes i know many people have made their 6600s work and thats what frustrating. Even with my devID. I've spend hours and hours on trying all different methods I've read about and in all almost every combination. Now I suspect it's no because of my graphics card but because of my mainboard Msi P965. Many have had all kind of problems with this chipset and I guess there still are some compatibility issues... Anyway I have given up for the moment (installed vista yesterday... not so bad actually but not as good as os x ). When a new macvidia driver with acceleration enabled or a new os x release with my devid included in nvdaresman (MANY cards are included now but not mine) I'll give it another try. But for now I don't think it's possible. Cheers and thank you for your help.
