nVidia 8600GT 512 MB and DVI/VGA/Svideo - nothing works.
Hello guys,
I have been trying for about 5 or 6 days now to get my OSX86 copy to get the correct graphics display. I have tried almost everything and nothing works.
I will start with my specs:
Acer T180 (modified computer)
- AMD CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3800+)
- XFX nVidia 8600 GT 512 with VGA/DVI/and S- Video. (here)
I am not sure you need more info, since everything else works (Ethernet, sound, bluetooth, etc...) except the video.
I have been on the OSX86 IRC channel and been getting a lot of help from various users, thank you! But still nothing works.
Here are some of the things I have tried:
NVEnabler, NVKush, NVInject, custom EFi string (and others I found online), NVCAP editing, NVCAP maker, device id addition to kexts, NV50, NVRes, etc... What else... Graphics Update, new kexts. I have tried to connect the card on DVI and VGA on most of my attempts, just to see if one of them works. I don't know what else to try 
Anyone that can shed some light or give me some more ideas? I can post here with more info on what I have tried, and give any ideas you have... I'll let you know if I have done that or not.
Thank you very much in advance for helping.

Edit: I am going to give Chameleon v2 RC a spin as it says it can detect Nvidia cards

Nothing has worked.
I tried the EFI studio string, again. It still does not work.
I don't know what else to do.
