Slow Radeon HD 4650 SNOW LEOPARD

Hi,

I have installed the Hazard Client Server SL distro, and added my dev id (0x9498) to RadeonX200.KEXT and ATI4600CONTROLLER.kext. I have 1600x1200, through DVI2VGA.

However, i occasionally get a small line across the screen like a Artefact or something, and gameplay and opencl/qe apps are very slow. (Sims 3 is just playable at all settings low). In System Profiler, i cannot see anything about Quartz Extereme or Core Image support and it mis recongizes the card. The card is a XFX Radeon HD 4650 1gb DDR3 (Overclocked by XFX). Here is the system profiler output:

ATI Radeon HD 4890:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4890
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
Slot: Slot-1
PCIe Lane Width: x16

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x9498

ROM Revision: 113-B7710C-176
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.318

As you can see it gives the wrong memory and card name.

Any suggestions?
