Ok with Iatkos s3 v2 which is snowleopard 10.6.3 i can get very thing working stright from install even my video card only problem i have left is the Q/E and C/l dont work. When i replace teh kext with the 10.6.3 i got from a guide and my screen goes in to sleep mode. Any idea's guy's im so close and it only reads the card at 256 and not 512mb like it should. Any help is kick ass and thank you in advance.

What output is beeing used to connect the display?
If possible ensure to use 10.6.3 ATI kext versions (1.6.10), connect screen via pure DVI and try using the Shrike booter (boot_dvi.zip) from my thread (http://osx86.net/f19/guide-ati-radeon-hd46x0-t6193/)...

If you still have problems, maybe try it step-by-step; first remove any ATI kexts from /S/L/E to be able to boot properly and delete /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches
Next install an inject (something that tells OS X where and how it has to find & use a device) that uses a framebuffer you think will gonna give you a working display, this can for example be the bootloader with GraphicsEnabler like in my tutorial, ATY_Init.kext by netkas (check Info.plist for used framebuffer) or a modification of the DSDT (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/DSDT).
Then check for your inject to work - for example those booters I have compiled will report as "ATI Radeon HD 4650" in System-Profiler, where also the injected Framebuffer (Motmot, Shrike or Flicker) should be displayed (PCI-Cards section).
Once you are sure the inject works add the Framebuffer driver (ATIFramebuffer, ATI4600Controller & ATISupport) - be sure to have your device id in ATI4600Controller and that those three ones have the same version (must not be the one that belongs to your OS X build).
Once you have working display and resolution change add X2000 with your device id in it. Use only X2000 matching your OS X version / frameworks!! and see if it will give you graphic accerlation.

In case of doubt try all three booters with any connection to the display possible with your equipment - even stupid combinitions like HDMI & DVI2HDMI at the same time...

Imkantus Thank You for all your help. All the help you provided me was bad ass but none the less it seems i will have to get a different video card to run mac for some reason i just cant get this video card to work. So i guess im stuck with windows till i get a new video card. I have been trying to make this work for few years now with no luck. Again thank you Imkantus im great full

I think if i could get someone that has the 4650 working upload me every thing they peronaly used from kext to bootloader to kext used in the bootloader extra folder i be all set.
