Where did you get those files?

Gotoh,

is this supposed to be working with a Quadro NVS320M as well (in fact this card is exactly the same as a 8700GT) ?

edited GeForce GFX strings :

for "any" GeForce 5/6/7/8, using NVCAP from MacBook 7300GT, generic "GeForce" encoded name.
number for each file according to physical VRAM on card, so try and report...

untested yet

Where did you get those files?

They are both in the Tianocore Intel EFI SDK and the GNU EFI SDK.

gotoh 7300LE no go

[gotoh]

did anyone who tried the files I uploaded had success with other GFXstring, or only working NVIDIA with titan (or clone) ?

BTW, GMA X3100 will only work if deviceID is the same as MacBook GMA (0x2a028086) DeviceID is hardcoded in AppleIntelGMAX3100 and AppleIntelGMAX3100FB so you may edit binaries to replace 8680282a with your actual deviceID, not just editing info.plist files. But they may be a no go most of the time. I managed to get G33 based desktop mobo GMA X3100 "partly" working, but I had to boot with no display, hotplug display, then it would work at 1024x768 256 colours. Trying to change resolution made the rig freeze, and thousands or million colours was not available. However, QE/CI loaded successfully but OpenGL test would make it freeze too...

NVinject only. Dual display

I edited the 7600GT string using the gfxutil the PropertyList Editor but didn't work on my 7600GO

pc_efi 8.0 and 256 mb NVIDIA GrForce 7600 GS + ViewSonic VP171b DVI on Gigabyte GA-p35-DS4 C2D E6750 2 GB PC 800 MHz RAM with string for 256mb NVIDIA dont work with nvinject.kext disabled. Just 1024 768 without QE. I also tested some custom made strings without success!

[gotoh]

X1900 deviceID 7249 GFX string for testing...
I'll test it myself tomorrow.

I am trying to get this working on a Dell Latitude D630 with a GMAX3100.  Once I have the string converted to plist, I have tried editing several things including my EDID.  So far I have had no success.  I get a brief blue screen followed immediately by my LCD going black, I believe powering down.

Yeessss!!!! Finally after 10 hours of trying out different configurations my 7600gt is working!! Dual Display Support and Mouse Pointer is there, too .

I think the only thing for other GeForce 7xxx Cards is to change the name... from "NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT EFI" to whatever you like!

I tried my string on XFX 7600gt 256MB VRAM...

Please try this, on every Geforce Card from 5xxx to 8xxx, to see if it workes there, too...

Here is the String: http://www.mediafire.com/?5dwd0yzm9nz

Thrawnhex

P.S.: I created 2 new file-formats called .bst (=Binary STring) and .hst (=Hexadecimal STring)

[lebidou]

It works on my 7600 GO.
I'll try dual display tomorrow.

Great job guys, thanx !

PS. : Noticed a problem with colors. Gradients are not smooth (like in 24 bits mode). I ever had this problem with Natit (from Diabolik) and with newer versions of NVinject (from nvinject.free.fr). The only Titan's clone that corrected it was NVinjectGO 0.0.9.

I tried to change NVCAP but with no success. I didn't have this issue with the string I modified myself with TextEdit.

[time ed]

can you post the binary string too?

[lebidou]

It's simply the same as Thrawnhex.

[Thrawnhex]

Ok this is 2nd alpha release...

I made strings for GT/GS/GO... all binaries are there, too...

lebidou: I'll look for your problem, tomorrow... The NVCAP thing seems to be the right way...
