10.6.4/10.6.5 Fermi Driver Installer.

georgegeorge,

You should use either "GraphicsEnabler" OR "device-properties" and following GFX string but not both together.

Here is the working string for my GTX 480's:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>

<string>My Long Graphics String (removed as it takes loads of space)</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>

</dict>
</plist>
There is a walkthrough here (aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hack1&action=display&thread=509) and pre worked out IN.PLIST for 1, 2 & 3 cards. (at the bottom of the list of cards) or below. Check out the walkthrough on how to use though.

The files from the Fermi Package don't work for the GTX 480 M:
GeForce.kext
GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle
GeForceGA.plugin
GeForceGLDriver.bundle
GeForceVADriver.bundle
GeForceVADriver.bundle.bak
NVDAGF100Hal.kext
NVDANV40Hal.kext
NVDANV50Hal.kext
NVDAResman.kext
OpenCL.framework
OpenGL.framework

Don't know why the ones ending with ".bundle" are listed as ".kext" on Aquamac's page aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=osx86driversandkexts&action=display&thread=1133

Anyway, the files caused my monitor to power off and that was it. After deleting these kexts and restoring default files, the Apple circle just spins. Obviously, some people with GTX 480 got this thing working, but this DOES NOT work for the MOBILE version. It just screws up your Mac OS install.

I tried both the Fermi Package and Aquamac's installer and the results are the same.

Still getting the Shut down your computer message in the different languages. Is there something wrong with my com.apple.Boot.plist?

yah there is, theres nothing in the string in the Graphics Enabler line

I was told by AquaMac:

If I understood him correctly, that is why I left out Graphics Enabler string.

Let me be specific as to what my problem is. I am the only person on this thread with the MOBILE version of GTX 480 and am worried that the procedure might be different for this card.

As you can see, the drivers released by nVidia for GTX 480 and GTX 480M are different, so there's a good chance that the driver files by CMF and AquaMac are specific to the GTX 480 and incompatible with GTX 480M, which is why I'm having problems.
GTX 480: www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-258.96-whql-driver.html
GTX 480M: www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-258.96-whql-driver.html

Could someone who knows what they're doing suggest a solution or modify these files somehow so they work for the mobile version, and create a proper com.apple.Boot.plist for me?

The Device Path is PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x7,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
