Netkas just released an newer version of his PC EFI V10.4

It has the following new abilities:
- GraphicsEnabler now supports Radeon hd 2/3 series too, but only for Leopard
- GraphicsEnabler now set up bin_image property for all radeon hd cards found in system, should fix 100% fan speed issue.
- You can tell GraphicsEnabler(GE) to use custom version of bios(for overcloking/changing fan
speed/ etc). Use option - useatirom, and GE will look for bios files in /Extra folder (from root
and boot partitions, Extra from root partition has more priority). Place bios files to Extra folder
and rename them to this format – ati_XXXX_YYYY.rom, where XXXX – devid, and YYYY –
vendor-id, for example rom file for 4850 should be named – ati_9442_1002.rom.
- 3rd party sm_cpu_type patch added (well, doesnt work for me anyway) and 3d party patch to
fix hibernation.
- Proper enumerating of all pci ethernet/video devices
- Fixed few typos
- Support for radeon hd 4730 (rv770 based card) added to GE, the card wasn’t tested tho
- Support for multiple Radeon hd 48×0 cards in SnowLeopard

Installation – make sure you have chameleon2 installed, then replace boot file in boot partition with this one – boot (rapid share.de/files/48513665/boot.html)

Also, legacyAti4800Controller kext (rapid share.de/files/48513698/LegacyATI4800Controller.kext.tar.bz2.html) ,to forget about adding dev-id to that kext after every update – kext, use in mkext in /Extra/ p.s. Updated Graphics Enabler now works with 10.6.2 and ati 48×0 gpus.

Netkas has just updated PC EFI to 10.5!

Changelog:

New in release: Automatic detection of pci root uid value(for GraphicsEnabler and ethernetbuiltin options) based on parsing DSDT.aml file (if you dont use custom DSDT.aml, you will need to use -pci1 flag in case you have uid=1) . If booter fails to detect it or you dont have _UID property in pci root(in dsdt) then UID=0 used by…

Nothing but a porn site / virus redirect

That site has become a porn/virus redirect.
Not good...

Field Note #2 @Imkantus 2009-10-17

rapid share.de is no virus nor a porn site - just a german One-Klick Hoster.
