update now i get same either kp or pc gets stuck on welcome screen for keyboard found

my card is pny fx6200 256mb ....

any ideas???

My machine works beautifully with 10.5.7 full qe ci with nvinjet just wanted to see how good is with snow....

Thank's a lot spylinux.

This is a great hope for those having an AGP video board and willing to jump into Snow Leo.

Here is my story.....
I run 3 hackintoshes with AMD CPU and Nvidia Geforce 7600 GS AGP.
I successfully installed
10.4.9
Tiger
Leopard
More details on my conf:
MoBo AM2NF3-VSTA chipset nForce3 250, Audio CM6501
GeForce 7600GS 256 Mo
AMD AthlonX2
2Go DDR2
SATA 500 Go (running 10.4.9, Tiger, Leopard)
SATA 160 Go (running chameleon 2.0, Leopard 10.5.7, SL 10.6.1)
but Snow Leo failed, I was always stuck with frozen video resolution and no QE/CI.
I tryed DSDT, posted question to specialist about my 7600 GS AGP, they drop my demand to basket
others wrote ( and you can find it on several forums) AGP don't work with SL
no way, don't loose you time ! that's wrong.

Until last evening, I was searching without much hope.... you never know!
and your ATY_Init.kext did a tilt! I did not know this one, let'us try.

And it works ! wooooooh !

What do you need really ?
What I did and works for me:
1) Put ATY_Init.kext in my /Extra/Extensions
2) Mount SL image on a Leopard partition, and from System/Extensions, copy on my desk
GeForce.kext *
GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForceGA.plugin
GeForceVADriver.bundle
NVDANV40Hal.kext *
NVDANV50Hal.kext *
NVDAResman.kext *

I search into info.plist and insert my video board ID 0x02e110de where
it must be: .kext with a *: first and three last above.
Then I put all the .kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ replacing previous if necessary.
3) fix permissions in /Extra/Extensions and in /System/Library/Extensions/
Rebuilt 2 extensions.mkext
Put the second one in the right place (system/library/caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup)
4) Add GFX string (Osx tools/ video GeForce 7600 GS 256 Mo) com.apple.Boot.plist
5) remove any DSDT.aml if any
6) reboot now on your SL partition and your GP is now seen as PCIe board in about this Mac.
In system preferences all screen savers works fluently.....

great job

Thank's again spylinux.

Hello,

I recommend that you try using DSDT for fixes becuase you need less kexts and editing

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...=#entry1547148

you can also make a dsdt edit so that your 7600gs devide id in gfx0 is the same as the 7600gt pcie in the imac. This means you would not need to edit the nv kexts at all.

http://www.techdc.com/imac-24-opened-and-upgraded

DSDT works as PCI on AGP, but it looks like i was one of the only people that have done this.

dsdt edit should be done at the place when your 7600gs is located in ioregistry explorer.

The original postion in my example was VGAB within the AGPB device

pcj also has a fix and he uses some extra strings from the PCIE cards. However, i am not sure if they are needed. The example i gave worked fine on leopard

pcj's link is here if you need it

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...threaded&start=

Do further research if necessary and good luck!

You could also try using the bootcamp vga rom from the imac as well and edit the clocks to match your own card in nbitor. howver, it is up to you how far you go with this.

you can get it from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

However, you will need a hexeditor to strip the efi section from the rom and nbitor to edit the clocks etc.

the .efi parts you want are located in the package

Too busy right now to write any more. Reply to message for questions

thanks,

lemonsoda

ps, i have been told that nv4 kext does not work on 64bit mode (arch=x86_64) after 10.6.2

this is shared by 6xxx and 7xxx nvidia cards. However, I never tested this

Thank's a lot Lemonsoda for all tracks you proposed.
Unfortunatly I am too stupid to understand DSDT editing.
I tryed but I did not found a tuto matching my limited understanding level.

I just have a curious problem right now, may be you can give me a track ?
here it is:
I still have a detail to fix on a particular configuration:
I am using an HDTV 1080 p Panasonic on one Hackintosh from HDMI output
that's a terrific display !
On Leopard no problem, as default display is over scanned so edges are missing.
you just need to go to display / options and deselect full screen, then edges are there.
Now on SL, doing the same gives me black screen with only mouse arrow visible. No way to come back. Copycat restaure is needed !
any idea ? May be something in the GFX string about outputs ?

Thank's
leon

"Unfortunatly I am too stupid to understand DSDT editing."
