Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update - The Official Thread

Official nvidia fermi and 4xx card dont work

This is completely not true. :

I've updated to 10.6.8 and run a GTX470 using the latest NVIDIA Quadro drivers from NVIDIA.

I am using ATI5770 display card + Dell U2410 and LG W2442 Monitor. After upgraded 10.6.8, I encounter the following problem.

My Dell U2410 cannot display and in sleep mode always. OS can detect the monitor but can't display anything even I changed the resolution.

Any recommendation ? Thanks.

got an idea, but no idea if it can work. what do you think? with carbon copy I have a clone of my 10.6.3 clean installation. I boot from there, I restore it to main hd. then I try to install combo update from carbon copy hd to the main. and the same with nvidia driver. do you think is possible?

ok, this way I was able to install 10.6.8 to main partition, but was not able to install nvidia drivers :S to run you need to be in 10.6.8

Just upgraded GA-P55-USB3 V 1.0 with XFX 5770 to 10.6.8 manually. Had no sound as expected. Ran MultiBeast with AppleHDA Rollback and System Utilities selected. Reboot and sound is back. All seems well for this MOBO. Will do the same on the GA-X58-UD7 with xfx 6870 BE and report back.

Installed perfectly.

(you guys had me worried!)

Ya- let's all report successes as well as failures ok? My update went very smoothly as well.

Good idea. Is there a pattern developing as to what is causing ppl particular issues. One thing I've noticed is that some of the ppl who had a trouble free update(relatively speaking) are using ATI cards.

Got it! here what I did:

1) cloned 10.6.3 clean install
2) rebooted to cloned install
3) started combo updated, but targeting main disc
4) opened nvidia drivers from my cloned 10.6.3. install didn't start, so I clicked with right mouse on it, and choosed "Show Package Contents"
5) navigated content to folder "packages"
6) copied packages to desktop, always running them targeting main disc
7) rebooted
8) entered 10.6.8
