Radeon 5870 Help

Hello,

I just bought a Radeon HD 5870 yesterday, and I'm upgrading from a GeForce 8800GTX OC2. I have the nv injector installed currently. How would I go about getting my 5870 working in 10.5.8? What kext should I use?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to get this working yet? Is there a kext that supports the 5xxx series of ATI cards yet?

Is there a Mac with HD5000 Series card, yet?

See? So you can just wait and hope & try some of the FrameBuffer Solutions around - maybe you'll get at least native resolutions with one of them.
