    Default GeForce 8400GS

    PNY GeForce 8400GS 512mb PCI. (Not PCIe)

    I just recently installed SL on my dell dimension 3000. At first it didnt boot right so I tried booting safe mode (-x) then i messed around with these GeForce.kext, NVDANV50Hal.kext, NVDAResman.kext. now i could finally boot in regular but the graphics is still not installed correctly.

    i was kinda thinking that i should switch drivers from nvenabler to nvinject cause when i had leopard nvinject seemed to work. But how do you switch NVEnabler to NVInject?

    Default

    Kext Wizard 3.7.3 - Downloads - OSx86.net


    NVenabler64.kext - Downloads - OSx86.net

    esay use the app to install the kext simply by dropping the kext into the app
    open the app.

    hit installation on the tab on the app.

    drop it in change the location to system/library/extensions choose the correct hdd. and install.

    after go to this location;

    system/library/extensions

    and remove
    nvinject.kext

    and while your there make sure your new kext was installed correctlly should be in the same folder .

    now go back to app and hit the maintenance tab check them all and execute. reboot



    or even easier solution instead of playing with kext have you tried boot flag

    GraphicsEnabler=Yes

    at boot

    cheers

    Thanks very much for the reply but i tried both of those methods exactly as you said but neither worked. I cant even change the resolution. Do you think this is because of my date and time problem?
