Anyone FULL CI/QE/resolution on any AGP Video Card in Snow Leopard??
Hi everyone,
Anyone out there using an AGP Video Card in Snow Leopard that is supporting full CI/QE and resolution change? Please share your experience! Cheers! N.M. (p.s. Asking because I haven't come across anyone that has AGP video fully working yet)

Hi,
An alternative might be to get a Geforce 9400 or 9500 GT PCI Card - Sparkle produced such....  AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail
+++ AMD Phenom X3 8450 - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (BIOS L2.39) - 4GB DDR2-800 - Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Snow Leopard Retail (retired) / OpenBSD Last edited by Imkantus; 10-19-2009 at 10:47 AM.

As people have them working with GFX-String on Leopard, it should not be a problem, to make them to work with Snow Leoaprd, too.
However, I don't find any shop from Australia carrying them... Here in Germany they are avaible through Alternate and I found this Shop from California, that has them on stock... Alternate is no alternative, as they ship to Europe only, so you might check if it's worth the investion to buy one from the U.S. AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail

P4_snow leopard_This is:QE/GLand Res Changing working on AGP
snow leopard on old P4 2.4 GHz...ich5/gfx6200agp/ide drives onboard:sound/nic all working
MB: ECS848P-A v2.0 Socket 478, Intel® 848P & ICH5, Sound Realtek ALC655, NIC Realtek RTL8100C Manufactures Site:http://is.gd/4Fm1j GPU: MSI 6200 128MB 350Mhz NX6200AX-TD128LF nVidia GeForce AGP 8X DVI, VGA, HDTV Manufacture Site: http://is.gd/4Fl4O Vendor Site: http://is.gd/4FlqC Video is fully working, but only from the VGA port. I tried many enablers, EFI strings and finally stumbled on Netkas's ATY_Init.kext. There seems to be a few versions of this kext. So I uploaded the working one here: http://is.gd/4FmT7 I am not sure if my other video kexts are unique or special, so if the enabler fails on your system I have uploaded my NVx and GeFx kexts here: http://is.gd/4Fnby. Remember to backup your extensions and properly install any kexts you might try. I found that improperly installed kexts will result in a KP. My solution was to log into a working leopard partition and repair permissions and rebuild Extensions.mkext, then the system would successfully boot. Conti's site has a great guide on installing kexts. I manually used the commands listed here:http://is.gd/4FpHk Funny thing about this system...I had read PATA and AGP won't work on SL... seems it does...takes some plist id editing for the PATA.. sound needed a audio package and a 8139 package for the NIC. This P4 requires the legacy kernel from prasys site. Other then that this system works pretty well...plays DVDs... could use more memory as it only has one gig... This is the 4th system of mine that is successfully running SL and the lest likely to have succeeded. Good Luck to all you AGPers...there is hope for your antique!

Hi spylinux!
Thanks a bunch for you reply, greatly appreciated! More hope for AGP ;-)I've a Geforce 6200 AGP 256MB myself, so I guess this enabler could work for me too. I am trying it at the moment, I get the login prompt, but when I log in i get a kernel panic (I am also using the SSE2 kernel from prasys site, do you also need SSE3 emulator?).. Will try again... In the mean time I wanted to ask you about your NVDAResman.kext. In your drivers zip there's a NVDAResman.kext and a NVDAResman.kext.bak. The only difference between the two is the NVDAResman binary in the MacOS subdir. My question to you is: did you change sth to the NVDAResman binary? Cheers! Nevermind p.s. Keep getting these KPs... Did you also get your KPs directly after you logon (can just see desktop and dock, then it KPs)? Quote:

nevermind:
Ignore the NVResman.bak...it was left over from previous attempts...I am not sure if I modified that NVResman, that's why I included the ones from my working system...As I trial and error-ed so many items I can't remember. I have on other systems gotten that KP after what appeared to be a successful boot. I found that happening if I passed the -f flag at the darwin prompt. I would snuggest not using the -f flag. With this system if there was a cache flush at boot (you know that major rolling of all your extensions)... it would always end in a KP before arriving at a desktop screen. I was able to resolve that by booting into another leopard installation and running the scripts from Conti's site. I believe the rebuilding of the extension.mext was essential in eliminating the KP. Remember you have to include the full path when running commands from a different partition ie add: /Volumes/OSX86 in front of /System and replacing OSX86 with your snow partition name... sorry if you are competent at all this... When testing I created a text file with the 3 command strings and would paste each command in the terminal one at a time. I avoided typos that way...as I am a lousy typist...This helped me speed up the testing time. As I must of tried about 20 different permutations of various enablers...drove me nuts btw... You might try Contis pfix v2.1.1 I believe you can pick the drive you want to repair the permissions on, allowing easy repairs on a different volume. The link for pfix v2.1.1 is on this page: http://is.gd/4GwIo I do not use the kexts loaded in a extra folder...all mine go in S/L/E folder... I just used the legacy kernel (naming it mach_legacy and adding the name in the boot plist). My CPU does show it having sse3 but will not boot with a vanilla kernel (see pics_with lispci there is a shot of the terminal showing the features of my CPU) pic link: http://twitpic.com/msl1y Hopefully I have answered your questions If you are making it to the log in screen it might be different kext messing things up...it might be your NIC. You might disable it in your bios and see if you can resolve the video issue and then work on the NIC. Hopefully I have answered your questions. I am not an expert at this hackintoshing, but have been doing it since deadmoo. If I have learned anything; the choice of your hardware dictates your success. Although in some sick way I do enjoy getting OSX running on marginal systems...as it can drive you crazzy... Best of luck with your project!

Hey spylinux,
Thank you for your further info/anwers. Somehow i keep getting this KP, even though I've repaired permissions and built an mkext of /s/l/e. Maybe I will get there later |-) Thanks again! nm Quote:
