7300GS only found in safemode ?
« on: July 20, 2011, 03:08:39 PM »
newb here, Sorry if this has been answered a million times, spent a couple of hours googling to no avail.

I've installed Lion GM with the help of Chameleon.
Everythings works ok after a bit of tinkering.

My Nvidia 7300GS card shows up as an unknown card until i put GraphicsEnable=Yes AND START IN SAFEMODE ! -x

If i leave GraphicsEnable=Yes and boot up normally, i end up with the infamous "please power off you blabla" screen.

What have i done to deserve this ?

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use a 7 series card in Lion. That is, with full acceleration.

Lion is 64-bit only and 64-bit driver support was cut for Geforce 7 series cards as of 10.6.3.

I would be surprised if Apple/nvidia had reinstated it.
