GTX 260 with 10.6.8

[insane117]

Does anyone know how to get the GTX 260 to work on 10.6.8 update? I had native resolution on 10.6 (with no QE/CI), however when the system is updated to 10.6.8, the display goes back to 1024x768 resolution (after multibeast is installed), can someone help please?

Can you provide more info on how you got it to work?

in your com.apple.Boot.plist file in the /Extra/ folder make sure the following is added.

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

I'm having exactly the same problem, did you ever get it working?

Same here. Exact same problem. My card is an XFX GeForce GTX 260 896MB card. Worked fine in 10.6.7. Updated to 10.6.8 and no dice.

GraphicsEnabler IS set to "Yes" as suggested. No dice though. Am I missing a kext perhaps?

No problems here (Sparkle GTX 260+).

I have the newest Chimera and these org.chameleon.Boot.plist edits, related to the graphics card:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1200x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>1</string>

I repaired permissions and caches with Multibeast and with the internal DiskUtility.

Oh, and I have the official nVidia drivers installed: 256.02.25f01

Anyone? Same problem here. I have GraphicsEnabler = Yes on mine too.
