Author Update #1 @andyvand 2010-09-11 ↳ Re: @Imkantus
@ImkantusJust for my better understanding - when using your IOFramebuffer, could HD2000/3000 Series cards work with accerlated graphics (using X2000.kext) on Snow Leopard - ofcourse without working OpenCL Extensions? Would be nice as I am still having some HD3850 lying around...

No, it is only and IOFramebuffer (not an IOAccelerator).
This will give you resolution support on older Radeons (X200, X300, X400, X500, X600, etc) but not latest cards (it's not a Radeon HD framebuffer)

What does this do if i may ask?
Is it a custom frame buffer for the proprietary ati drivers?
