			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you install OS X on a normal PC with a nVidia 9600 GT, you can get in troubles. For example, when you move a window it&#8217;s content disappear (only it&#8217;s margin is showed) and to see the window content again you have to minimize the window and show it again. I think this is a video driver problem which doesn&#8217;t recognise the graphic card. But, since OS X Leopard have 9600 GT drivers you have only to fix some .kext and import a gfxstring <img src='http://justhackp.altervista.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>First of all reboot and boot up with <strong>-x</strong> option (safe mode prevents from loading specific drivers, so you won&#8217;t see any glich or window content disappear &#8211;NOTE&#8211; if you can&#8217;t surf on internet in safe mode you have to download the programs in normal mode (i know, it&#8217;s stressful but you have to do it)) go on <strong>/System/Library/Extensions</strong> and copy <strong>NVDANV50Hal.kext</strong> and <strong>NVDAResman.kext</strong> to your Desktop.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=mn2emzxo3yg&amp;thumb=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/2a1322ed3d2261e4ef4ee8dafd9191ee4g.jpg" border="0" alt="Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire" /></a></p>
<p>Now right click on NVDANV50Hal.kext and select <strong>Show Package Contents </strong>and then go in <strong>Contents</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-422"></span></p>
<p>At this point you have to edit the file info.plist modifying it as follows:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">&lt;key&gt;IOPCIPrimaryMatch&lt;/key&gt;<br />
&lt;string&gt;[Your graphic card ID goes here( it should be: 0x062210de]&lt;/string&gt;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=izzywyzqddu&amp;thumb=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/46a084444246ea708c8a88b08118abce4g.jpg" border="0" alt="Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire" /></a></p>
<p>To know what&#8217;s your graphic card ID just open <strong>System Profiler</strong> and select <strong>Graphics/Display</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=zhy1vznthhm&amp;thumb=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b21d353dba6a5ec777bd9bb6f6984ca34g.jpg" border="0" alt="Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire" /></a></p>
<p>Now replace <span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">[Your graphic card ID goes here( it should be: 0x062210de]</span> with <span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">&lt;Device ID in System Profile&gt;10de</span>.<br />
You should get something like this:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; "><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">&lt;key&gt;IOPCIPrimaryMatch&lt;/key&gt;<br />
&lt;string&gt;0&#215;062210de&lt;/string&gt;</span></p>
<p>Do the same steps of above with<strong> NVDAResman.kext</strong></p>
<p>Downlaod <a title="Kext Helper" href="http://cheetha.net/" target="_blank">Kext Helper</a> and install it (if you have installed an iPC distro with all the applications you don&#8217;t need to download it, just look in applications).<br />
Drag the *.kext you have on your desktop in the main window of Kext Helper and insert the password to proceed with the installation of the extensions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=mhmml9yaxjm&amp;thumb=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/3a0cabbf11f6fc09702f6c133ec66b9e4g.jpg" border="0" alt="Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have installed kexts, downlaod <a href="http://pcwizcomputer.com/osx86tools/" target="_blank">OSX86 Tools</a>, and install it again as you did before with Kext Helper.</p>
<p>Open <strong>OSX86</strong> Tools and press <strong>Add EFI Strings/Boot Flag.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=nn20ww4jgon&amp;thumb=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/4a285f1fc7fa06ae407cc7655e559d0a4g.jpg" border="0" alt="Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire" /></a></p>
<p>Select <strong>GFXString</strong> and in the dropdown list choose <strong>Custom GeForce </strong>(the last one).<br />
Enter the name. (Ex: &#8220;nVidia Geforce 9600 GT&#8221;); &#8211;&gt; Choos VRAM size (In my case 512); &#8211;&gt; Now the output (My card has two DVI output).<br />
Don&#8217;t close OSX86 Tools. </p>
<p>Add this string to the file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/<strong>com.apple.Boot.plist</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">&lt;key&gt;device-properties&lt;/key&gt;<br />
&lt;string&gt;[OSX86 Hexadecimal EFI String goes here]&lt;/string&gt;</span></p>
<p>Now copy the OSX86 <strong>Hexadecimal EFI Strin</strong>g to: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/<strong>com.apple.Boot.plist </strong>Probably you will have to change permissions to edit the file.<br />
Ex:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; "><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">&lt;key&gt;device-properties&lt;/key&gt;<br />
&lt;string&gt;6c0200000100000001000000600200000d000000&#8230;&lt;/string&gt;</span></p>
<p>You can apply the string using OSX86 tools, but i had some missing scripts, so i had to do it manually.</p>
<p>Cross your fingers and Reboot <img src='http://justhackp.altervista.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
When you log in you should have a completely 3d accelerated desktop.</p>
<p>If something doesn&#8217;t work do the same with <strong>NVDA40.kext</strong> and so on&#8230; if you have a <strong>NVDAXXPPC.kext</strong> try to modify it too.</p>
