Any luck with ATI X1400? I had it working on iDenub 10.5.4 with some mouse tearing. I tried the ATIRadeonX1000-71c1 and got black screen on reboot also tried the X1000.ktext from saved file, black screen. also PCI card not working and sound 883. would like to get my DWL-G630 working again.Also no mouse setting in the System Preference Trackpad mouse, I used 1st choice when installing PS2 install. thx for any help out there.

Author Update #1 @bestman50 2009-01-20

ATIx1400 fixed

If anyone else is having problems with the ATIRadeonX1400 card, the fix is you have to add your Device ID and Vendor to the info.plist in the contents on the kext. My device is listed below your's may be different so check it out before making the changes.

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x7145

Look for 0x71461002 and change it to 0x71451002. You will have to nano the plist using the terminal.
Install OS X with no display drivers selected, go to the System/Library/Extensions folder find the ATIRadeonX1000.kext and make the changes there. Install the kext reboot should work. you will get some mouse tearing but Core/EQ work so DVDs and frontrow should work.
