Hi Everyone,

 

I've installed Kalyway's 10.5.2 on my Dell, everything is ok except..

 

When I change resolutions, the screen becomes fuzzy looking. Kinda like, Pixelated? Blotchy?

 

Also, I do not know if it's related, but I don't seem to be able to run iMovie from iLife08.

 

I'm currently on NVINJECT 0.2.1 here's the report.

I hate to dig up old topics, but I was using nvInject (Extensions folder on EFI partition) and my 7600GS worked great in Retail Vanilla Leopard 10.5.0 booting via EFI (found in EFIStudio 1.1) and when I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 I lost Quartz and Core Image support. I know they worked before, but they disappeared. Is there any way to get them back? System Profiler info below:

As mentioned probably by others. Hate to bring up old topics, but this was a fantastic thread. I've tried so many things for hours attempting to get full video card support with Quartz Extreme. I came across this and it worked like a charm with my GeForce 8400M GS.

 

Only thing I did differently was use NVKush instead of NVInject. I've come across people saying that NVKush seems to be better with the 8400M.

 

Thanks again!
