Looking for a fully working solution for Radeon HD 2600 Pro.

Kexts fron DVD allows me to change the resolution to 1280x1024 etc. but it doesn't provide QE/CI

I've tried also a Natit.kext from netkas (netkas.org) but it totally breaks the driver - I can see only artefacts...

UPDATE:

Now I have QE/CI support

HOWTO:
1. goto irc.osx86.hu -> #RadeonHD channel.
2. Download Triakis and 2600Pro Fix (for white menus problem)
3. Install Triakis (there is installer in the package)
4. After installing Triakis pkg add your device-id to Info.plist of ATIRadeonX2000.kext (for me the deviceid was 0x95891002 - add it to the looong string with stuff like this)
5. Install the white Menus fix (note: Best way to install is with Kext Helper B7 - use google to find this software)

reboot...

Field Note #1 @drum109 2008-02-23

Nope. Doesn't work. When I boot it says that the ATI2000 (whatever) .kext cannot be used. Same thing with the natit.kext.

Field Note #2 @xalima 2008-10-13

You can try this: rapid share.com/files/153669651/HD2600Pro.zip.html

The only thing you must check it up is to check if your DeviceID is added in the info.plist file inside the Atiradeonx2000.kext, in system/library/extensions

The pkg is called HD2900XT_Pro, but works with my HD2600 pro perfectly!

Good luck!
