My question is regarding the support of ATI radeon 4650 in osx86.

I finally d/l the live version of iPC 10.5.6 and checked the package list provided with the file - there is no ATI HD 4650 driver there (I've attached a png file which lists all the drivers in that release)

I looked around for such a package and didn't find any.

Bettarg replied me about two weeks ago that he saw a .text of ATI HD 4600 there.

So, what's the status about ATI radeon HD 4650 - is it supported or not?

I have troubles plugging my screen to the DVI connection that is on the motherboard for some reason (at least under vista) - I have an Intel g45 (full name - Intel DG45ID AAE27729-307) motherboard.
The only way to plug it to the motherboard is through the analog connection through a dvi2vga adapter - and I read somewhere that it does not work (the adapter, under Leopard).

Since installing the OSX86 without a screen is quite difficult - can anyone what do I do?

Thanks very much!

Josh.
