[SOLVED] Nvidia problems on dell vostro 1520

Hi guys, I've a dell vostro 1520, intel core 2 duo, nvidia 9300m.
Before i was using ML from an update from SL, now I just did a fresh install of ML and updated to 10.8.2, everything worked fine expect the video card.

First it was stopping at boot without kp, just no load, then reading this post:

I've replaced just the NVDANV50Hal and it still didn't worked, then I've replaced the original Geforce and NVDAResman kexts with the old version i had an it started fine. I had everything working fine at native resolution except that after some minutes the screen was totally screwed and i was getting this error:

NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error

in dmesg, I've read around and deleting AGPM solved the problem. Now after deleting the kexts I don't get that problem fullscreen, but on each page on chrome with some flash contents i get what you see in the image attached.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Best regards


Update:

found the solution, needed to add device id to latest 10.8.2 drivers.. No edits necessary

Hi,
to which kexts did you enter your device id? Also are you keeping agpm or have you deleted it. Thanks
