Hi all,

I'm trying now since several weeks to get the GeForce 9400M supported on my Acer Aspire 5737Z under Ideneb 10.5.6.

I tried a lot of methods (EFI-Stings, different kext and injecter) to get this card working. But it failed all the time.

Now today I found this site and read the post about the NVenabler. A little hope rose in me wink.gif

How described on this site I installed the kext on the following way:

CODE
    Add your device ID in /system/library/extensions/NVDAResman.kext/contents/info.plist
    Add your device ID in /system/library/extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext/contents/info.plist
    Find/download an injecter (any one will do, they're basically the same thing, only plists differ)
    Add your device ID in (some_injecter.kext)/contents/info.plist (Here I used the NVenabler / Wrong?)


launch terminal and type

    sudo chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions
    sudo chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions
    sudo rm /system/library/extensions.mkext (could not find / so ignored)
    reboot


But after reboot I get a Blu Screen.

Have I done something wrong?


Best Regards,
Mink

Hi !

I may have a solution for you, I have been trying to make my 9300M GS with 512mo working and I succeeded yesterday.

It's verry simple : I removed nvdaresman.kext and all nvdanvX0.kext and of course have no injector left.

There was only the geforce.kext left my the my card ID in it.

I simply installed nvenabler and I rebooted and I finaly had my card recognised : Name, RAM, etc.

Still I don't have QE and I am stuck with the 1024*768 resolution

PS : For information, I tried the "classic" installation with the 3 kext editing with the proper id card with all injectors and I always had the black screen.
The best result I could have was with the 3 kexts (still with correct card ID) and NVenabler and had finally the Blue Screen...

Yes, removing the entire drivers will help.... A very simple soultion is to find your chainsaw from the garage and go berserk on your home. When the doctors and police knocks on the door you have succeeded... You will still not have QE/CI and resolution change, but you can be sure that your problems will be solved by others than you in the future....

That's possibly the worst advice I've ever seen given on an OSx86 forum ever, short of rm -rf / .

NVDAResman.kext is responsible for resolution changing: NViDiA Resolution management , of course you're stuck with 1024x768.

NVDANV50Hal.kext would be the one in charge of the HAL, or Hardware Abstraction Layer, providing specific support for a series of cards in the 8000/9000 series.

Keep trying.

Hi

Sorry for the "advice", I realised it wasn't a good solution but it helped me figuring out how it worked...

Now I have 1366*768 with my 9300M GS and I can swith resolution :

I installed NvinjectGo (no modification) and the nvdanv50hal and Nvdaresman kexts (modified with correct nividia IDs)from the last nividia package release (found it on the forum).

I had no chance with (all) others injectors...

Still no QE/CI

good luck
