Well, i'm building a new hack...
but, getting problem with DVI
black screen at the end of boot :banghead: :banghead:
with D sub everything seems ok(not tested HDMI)
need the DVI out badly...
seeing, you guys running well with the dvi output....
could you please tell me, how to...?

BTW, my power supply is 450w,(Changed 600w now) is that ok?
(and using BOIS ver. F5)---Updated to F6 now

Configuration:
Motherboard: GA-P55A-UD3
Processor: Intel Core i5 750
Graphic: XFX GTS 250 1GB
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
HDD: 1TB Samsung SATA
DSDT: GA-P55A-UD3 (with recent released nv iboot n mulibeast)
 
emuzaman, can you post the actual method you are using to enable the graphics?
 
I tried every method posted in this forum with no success :crazy:
iBoot+multi beast(recent one with GIGA BEAST selected), and other boot cd method as well(With Multibeast 0.99).
Tried both graphic enabler=yes with or without in boot.com plist...along NV enabler too.
Even applied Tony's suggestion "PCIRootUID=1".
Do you have any solution?
Anyway thanks.

BTW, do you know where can i get the latest DSDT for P55A UD3? coz, i'm facing a problem with sleep related to USB...computer wont wake by press any key at keyboard..
to wake comp i have to press power button...then re plug the whole UBS devices..

I downloaded the latest DSDT for P55A UD3(F6) from TonymacX86 bolg database and replaced to E/E..Sleep related USB prob. fixed :thumbup: :lol:

The DSDT on the blog is the same one in GigaBeast.

So is your GTS 250 working yet? I have have mine working fine from the get go, although mine will go to sleep, but light is on and fans spinning, but when it wakes I get a reboot.:confused:

Do you have all three checkboxes checked in System Preferences/Energy Saver?
 
I gleaned this info on another forum not related to hackintoshes. I submit it here in the hopes it can help you or someone else. For your GTS 250 you might edit the file Info.plist located at

/System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext/contents/info.plist

The line that begins as <string>0x011010de&amp;0xfff8ffff denotes the video card's Device ID and Vendor ID. The code ;0xfff8ffff must follow every entry {w/ a few rare exceptions} and is followed by a space before the next entry.

<key>NVidiaRMPCIMatch</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.NVDAResman</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>NVDA</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IOFramebuffer</string>
<key>IONameMatched</key>
<string>NVDA,NVMac</string>
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x011010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x05e010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x05f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff</string>
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>50000</integer>
<key>IOPropertyMatch</key>
<dict>
<key>name</key>
<string>display</string>
</dict>

My 9500GT ids found in About This Mac/More Info/Graphics Displays are:
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0640

Thus I would add 0x064010de&amp;0xfff8ffff like so:

<string>0x011010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x05e010de&amp;0xfff8ffff 0x05f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x064010de&amp;0xfff8ffff</string>

Again, this may or may not help your situation. If it does, great! If it doesn't, I hope someone else can make use of the info. Or maybe I'm just behind the curve and it's only news to me, in which case apologies are offered. Good luck!

Edit: placed the id in sequence in the string - 0110, 0170, 0179, . . . 05e, 05f, 0640

Installed the edited kext with the Kext helper then kext utility then repaired the disk permission with disk utility..

here's the info of my card:

^^Sorry it didn't work for you. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure your card id is in the string in sequence. I notice that all the different id names in the string are in sequential order; try putting your 250 id at the end and not the beginning. I'll go edit my other post as an example.

I really don't think it will make a difference, but on my box I did have it placed in sequence (which made it go at the end). In my post above I put the id at the front only for the sake of clarity. Again, it probably won't make any difference, but I'm crossing my fingers....

Did ...but you are right, didn't make any difference..
Ok, i think it's my bad luck..but it should work, anyway, ben dover, Thank you very much for your help and quick suggestions :p
