*SOLVED* EVGA GTX 460 "Unknown nVidia Card" but Working

[delToro]

The System Profiler is now recognizing GTX 460.

Solution was running Multibeast3.1 and installing
via a "USERDSDT" replacing the "EasyBeast" install.
Then rebuild & repair.

After confirming that the GraphicsEnabler was set
in Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist, I manually deleted NVEnabler 64.kext
from Extra/Extensions/.
Then rebuild, repair, reboot.

Card recognized. All screen resolutions available.
Thanks

Greetings,
using iBoot 2.6
multibeast 3.1 > Easybeast
GA X58A-UD3R rev 2.0
EVGA GTX 460
OSX 10.6.6

Problem was only resolution option 1024 x 768.

I first used NVEnabler in multibeast, but that still did not give me proper resolution.
I then used "TonyMacNvidiaUpdate." Then rebuilt caches & permissions, and rebooted to all resolutions available. Great!!

However, "Graphics/Displays" in "about this mac" is not recognizing the evga GTX 460,
though full resolution options working.

"Graphics/Displays" shows "unknown nVidia card" w/ 0 vram.

I read in forum that some had solved this problem by removing the NVEnabler.
I found and removed "NVEnabler 64.kext" "extra/extensions", rebuilt, and rebooted
to only 1024 x 768 option available.

I then replaced "NVEnabler 64.kext" in "extra/extensions", rebuilt, and rebooted.
Now all display resolutions available again.

Any suggestions on how to get the GTX 460 recognized?
Thank you!

what version of chameleon are you using? i think you need to be at 699 for the card to be recognized.

thanks for your assistance.

i am using "Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - Prerelease" that comes in Multibeast 3.1,
and the one recommended by Macman in his "Simple NVIDIA 4xx Install Procedure"
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8157

Which version is the one you refer to: "699"?

MacMan's link also states that either "Easybeast" or "UserDSDT" should work.
I used "EasyBeast".

I went ahead and installed the nVidia CUDA driver, and system indicated
that it found the card, and loaded CUDA successfully. But system profile still showing
"Unknown nVidia card".

Maybe card is working normally, just does not show info???? which would be OK.
Still would be good to solve.

I certainly would appreciate any info, suggestions that you may have as I am
a total beginner here.

Thanks so much!!
