Hi. I am in need of help to get my video card working with QE/CI and my resolutions. I have installed iATKOS S3 V2 10.6.3 and have upgraded it to 10.6.7. I have also installed EVOenabler with the installation of iATKOS. After following numerous guides, I cannot get my video card to work so if someone can please post all the kexts I need and a guide on what to do, it would help me a lot. Thank you very much.

Field Note #1 @topspeed 2011-04-11

I was able to get 10.6.2 to work out of my Sapphire 4650 1G but no QE/CI. Seems only to work through the VGA port. Took me weeks of reading and even went as far as extracting the VBIOS and using a P5Q specific DSDL.

I'll post if I get any further.

Field Note #2 @0xcafebabe 2011-04-14

I've got my 4650 working perfectly with 10.6.7 and QE/CI enabled.
I'm using Chameleon 2 RC5 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and patched ATI4600controller.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext.

Yep, mine worked by doing that as well when I was using the 4650. Follow this guide exactly and it will work: osx 86.co/f36/guide-ati-radeon-hd46x0-t6193/

Field Note #4 @OBriener 2011-07-25

SL 10:6:8 with Sapphire 4650

Following these intructions, Mine booted up to the 2nd display.(My temp solution was to zoom into the desktop so I could get my cursor onto system pref and then mirrored the displays) Vga is working but nothing from the dvi to vga converter. Any ideas?

Tnx
