the Problem : I cant change my Gamma Settings , ICC Profiles and so on on my Hackintosh.

My System : IDeneb V1.4 10.5.6, ATI X1950XTX, Natit.

It was not so easy to bring the 1950XTX to work with OSX, a lot of the Packages u can download at the Forums does not work for me.
A uniqe combination of Kext and Natit bring the Card to work, but , as i say with out the ability to change the Monitor Settings.
About this Mac says that there is no Monitor connect, i thing this ist he main problem.

I have change the NVCAP in the Natit.kext so that it match my Card exacly , but it does not work.

I write to every .kext programmer i found on the Forums , no one give a answers , so i think must try to fix this for my self. The Problem...iam a noob

So, what we have :

A working Driver , but OSX thinks there is no Monitor. This ist he Main Problem ( Right / False ?)

Upon Startup, the NATIT spam’s the Vendor ID´s and there is a line that say something like : Monitor Connection Typ : 000000000
Maybe this is problem , that the Kext tells the NATIT that ther is no Monitor connection.

The Question :

How can i change this ?
Which Driver i must change ? ( ATIRadeonX1000.kext, ATIRadeon.kext, ATINDRV.kext)

Maybe you can help me here.

Have a nice Day,
Dirk
