This is quick and dirty how-to to get Quartz Extreme and Core Image at full resolution working on OSx86 (with OSX 10.4.8) a nVidia 7600gt 256MB card.
Follow the simple insructions below and you can’t go wrong:
Install OSx86 with the optional Natit package
Once booted find your card identifier by adding the DeviceID and VendorID together to get a string (mine is 0x02e110de)
Edit the corresponding <string> tag for the IOPCIMatch key in these four packages (in /System/Library/Extensions)
Geforce.kext
NVDANV40Hal.kext
NVDANV30Hal.kext
NVDAResman.kext
Before
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x00000000&0x0000ffff</string>
After
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x02e010de&0x0000ffff</string>
If the key has a number of values in the string tag, just add 0x02e010de&0x0000ffff to the start of the list.
You now need to flush the kext cache so run the following:
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.*
Now reboot and enjoy the goodness of Mac OSx86 :)
