Buna seara,
incerc de ccca. 2saptamani sa instalez o placa video nvidia 9400gt pe un Mac OS X 10.5.6.
am gasit un driver “NVIDIA_9000_Series_Driver_v2” dar sincer.. chiar nu m-a ajutat cu nimic; am urmat si urmatorii pasi, dar in final nu cand incerc sa deschid com.apple.Boot.plist nu pot salva deoarece nu am drepturi de administrator, cu toate ca contul meu este administrator.. s-ar putea o mana de ajutor din partea caruiva? Multumesc anticipat!
1. Install any OSX86 distro [10.5.6]
2. Dont Select any nVidia driver at Beginning.
3. Go to this Link and download the Installer for the NVIDIA 9 Series Drivers and Install it. But Do not Restart
4. Open OSx86 tool.
5. Click on Add EFI Strings/Boot Flag and open it
6. now do these steps:-
a. Click GFX String [On upper Left]
b. On Graphics Card, Drop down the list and choose Custom Geforce [should be at very last]
c. On the box Type ‘nVidia Geforce 9400 GT’
d. Select your cards Memory and click OK
e. Now this stpe is Important. Here you have to choose the right output of your card. to get this got to the your cards manufacture website and see the configuration of your graphics card and find your display output or see on the box or its manual. [Like I have XFX 9400 GT 512 Mb so i go to thispage]
f. Now look at the Hexadecimal EFI String (Device Properties) and copy all that written in the box. open a text editor and copy this. match both to satisfy that you copy exactly same. Now close Disk utilities.
7. Go to your leopard installation drive and Open Library/Preference/System Configuration and copy ‘com.apple.Boot.plist’ file to desktop.
8. Go to your Desktop and open the file you just copied with text edit: It should look like this:-
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string></string>
IF any line miss the add them.
9. Now at the last line in between <string></string> add the HEX characters you copied from OSx86 tool [STPE-6] so it look like this
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
