I am brand new to mac. I read lot of Literature on Loading Mac on PC.
Finished the install and everything loads well. Except what I had on the computer before Mac OS SLeo install which was (2) NV 9500GT cards. Long story short I followed your instruction on : GFX Strings - DUAL CARDS - How To...
Here is the problem, I can load with both cards in Safe mode. Normal Chameleon RC5 boot stops after the spinning timer thing just before actual logon.
Any suggestions and solutions welcome.

I finally got to login to Mac OS SLeo. However the resolution is only 1024x768, and my 1gb cards reflect as 32mb. My Specs: EVGA x58 3x SLI (1136) i7-920 (2) EVGA 9500 GT in SLI
Card1
Display:
Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0640 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes
Card 2
Display:

Thanks for your help in advance.

I did everything per your instructions : in.plist / out.hex / edited boot .plist / redid permissions.
Able to load into system.
However the resolution is not correct. Display-Capable 1600x1050x32 but resolution 1024x768.
I am trying to enable quartz GL but coming up with errors. The device info according to system profilers is still as posted on my second post:

If your card shows up as "display" then there is something wrong with your strings. Have you managed to get a single card working yet? What are your 2 PCIe addresses for your cards?

hello aquamac,
Single card works fine. Everything is perfect. The problem arises only when I try to load both cards. I am sure its the strings which are not right. I am a layman when comes to coding. When you have the time, please look at the string I had edited and tell me where I went wrong.
Here is the in.plist I edited according to the PCIe address:
<?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"> <dict> <key>PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,NVMac</string> <key>@0,device_type</key> <string>display</string> <key>@0,name</key> <string>NVDA,Display-A</string> <key>@1,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,NVMac</string> <key>@1,device_type</key> <string>display</string> <key>@1,name</key> <string>NVDA,Display-B</string> <key>@2,#adress-cells</key> <string>0x01000000</string> <key>@2,#size-cells</key> <string>0x00000000</string> <key>@2,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,sensor-parent</string> <key>@2,device_type</key> <string>NVDA,gpu-diode</string> <key>@2,hwctrl-params-version</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>@2,hwsensor-params-version</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>@2,name</key> <string>sensor-parent</string> <key>@2,reg</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>NVCAP</key> <data>BAAAAAAAAwAMAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=</data> <key>NVPM</key> <data>AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==</data> <key>VRAM,totalsize</key> <data>AAAAQA==</data> <key>device_type</key> <string>NVDA,GeForce</string> <key>model</key> <string>GeForce 9500 GT</string> <key>name</key> <string>NVDA,Parent</string> <key>rom-revision</key> <string>3172a</string> </dict> <key>PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x7,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,NVMac</string> <key>@0,device_type</key> <string>display</string> <key>@0,name</key> <string>NVDA,Display-A</string> <key>@1,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,NVMac</string> <key>@1,device_type</key> <string>display</string> <key>@1,name</key> <string>NVDA,Display-B</string> <key>@2,#adress-cells</key> <string>0x01000000</string> <key>@2,#size-cells</key> <string>0x00000000</string> <key>@2,compatible</key> <string>NVDA,sensor-parent</string> <key>@2,device_type</key> <string>NVDA,gpu-diode</string> <key>@2,hwctrl-params-version</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>@2,hwsensor-params-version</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>@2,name</key> <string>sensor-parent</string> <key>@2,reg</key> <string>0x02000000</string> <key>NVCAP</key> <data>BAAAAAAAAwAMAAAAAAAABwAAAAA=</data> <key>NVPM</key> <data>AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==</data> <key>VRAM,totalsize</key> <data>AAAAQA==</data> <key>device_type</key> <string>NVDA,GeForce</string> <key>model</key> <string>GeForce 9500 GT</string> <key>name</key> <string>NVDA,Parent</string> <key>rom-revision</key> <string>3172a</string> </dict> </dict> </plist>
