new dump http://www.mediafire.com/?12xzzvb94xt

using NVinject, without it using just EFI string no QE/CI no dual display, 1024x768 only

Your gfxtring seems ok but try a little shorter version.
02010c00d041030a000000000101060000017fff0400
maybe that will work.

a idea, try to change your pci root uid to 4.
02010c00d041030a04000000

try with both versions (change my shorter and your orig devpath)

because i found from your dump this line:
    +-o PCI0@0  <class IOACPIPlatformDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0>
    | |   "_UID" = "4"
....

please give a try.

Hello,

I hava a Gigabyte Geforce 7300 GS 128MB, works with NVinject, but want to get it to work with GFX String.
I tried every 7300gt string but cant get it to work. NVDANV40Hal gets registered but no Ci/Qe and no
reulution change. Can anyone help please? please tell me what information is needed?

thanks
shila

mcmatrix, sorry for this, but if possible, give some help here.
I've made all possibles dumps, with/without nvinject, and with/without gfx string, for 7600Gt.
If possible, take a look dude.
Thanx!

i will offer for your 4 different devpath variants
follow my guide from http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,64.msg851.html#msg851 and make your devpath

1. ACPI(PNP0A03,0)/PCI(1c|0)
2. ACPI(PNP0A03,0)/PCI(1c|0)/PCI(0|0)
3. ACPI(PNP0A03,1)/PCI(1c|0)
4. ACPI(PNP0A03,1)/PCI(1c|0)/PCI(0|0)

I will bet on 4. ACPI(PNP0A03,1)/PCI(1c|0)/PCI(0|0)

NB! Dont forget add end node

thx to mcmatrix, thrawnex and all

Hello again,

after some more reading got it  with the correct devpath . took the file from frantisheq and
changed devpath according to http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,64.msg851.html#msg851.

Thanks to mcmatrix,  thrawnex and all others!!!

What about 7600 GS (256mb)?

Thanks

hi guys, i'm trying here to make it work, but nothing....

i've GeForce 6200A AGP... may it will work?

thanks...

Success!! I finally have fully working 7600GT in Asus P5LP-LE mobo. mcmatrix is the man!

My device path is dependent on _UID=1, so correct path is:
PciRoot(0x1,0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0

Used latest gfxutil(0.65b) to convert plist to hex string and added string to Boot.plist.

Raw gfx plist and Boot.plist attached.

PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) is correct syntax

But for sony Vaio and go7600 with 128mb there aren't solutuion?

[time ed]

PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) is correct syntax

http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,64.msg930.html#msg930

Many thanks for pointing that out.

OK - I think I finally get it:
If I understand correctly, Pciroot which clarifies _UID will have corresponding _UID value, e.g.:
PCI0@0,_UID=0 == pciroot(0x0);
PCI0@0,_UID=1 == pciroot(0x1);
Strings did not work until I clarified _UID.

I actually did use incorrect syntax in gfxutil (PciRoot(0x1,0x1). Guess gfxutil ignore my foible?

[mcmatrix]

PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) is correct syntax

Just wondering --
In your tutorial it reads that its important to clarify UID in device path. UID=1 for me, so I added extra '0x1' for UID to PciRoot to make it 'PciRoot(0x1,0x1)'. Converting to hex with gfxutil, PciRoot part of string became:
02010c00d041030a01000000

Strings did not work until I did this. Am I confused?
regards,
t-e

Pciroot correct syntax is pciroot(_UID) because "pciroot" keyword is just alias of  Acpi(PNP0A03,_UID)
So if your PCI0@0 _UID = 0 then it doesnt make any difference if you write Acpi(PNP0A03,0x0) or PciRoot(0x0).

Hi guys , i've successfully got efi v8 working.

But the only gfx string i can find that almost works on my 8800GTS 640MB is the one that comes included with the pc_efi_v80 package.

Only problem is i cant use the gfxutil to convert the strings so i can remove the erroneous data.

I'm having the exact same problem. The string that comes with pc_efi_v80 works perfectly  for my 8800GTS but gfxutil can't convert it (read_binary: invalid binary data, gfxutil: cannot parse gfx data from hex input file). I want to convert it back to plist to add my networkstring. Anyone knows what's wrong or anyone has the original plist from this string?

Please post that hex file, i want to  test it.
