he has success with my card..dont know how he done this any ideas?

I will try to make a pkg for ATI today and modify kexts with your device id (if needed).
It will be on the wiki this afternoon.

Could you add the code for the X1600Pro too? It's 71c2. Does leopard support AGP in any way?

naquaada, have you tried this tutorial?

[Guide] ATI x1x00 Video Cards on Leopard; QE/CI Enabled, Keywords: x1600 x1800 x1650 ↗

There`s also a pkg on irc made by netcast that gives support to the 3850/3870 series of cards , its in irc.osx86.hu #radeon .I think it uses modified kext from 10.5.2 , anyho it worked for me i hope that works for others too.

I used the guide, it's a variation of borisbadenow method. I get QE/CI, but I also have mouse tearing (blocks). But it's not so dramatic.
Interesting: If I use Xbench, I notice a speedup! On Tiger 10.4.7 I get on my Athlon 64 3700+ with all components about 92-96, with Leopard up to 102 on the same configuration. I think the guys from Apple really have better features when they create a new operating system...

I've uploaded some drivers on rapidshare.
Check the wiki.

Oups prolly a problem with permissions.

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/"the kext"
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/"the kext"

I tested the X19x0 package on my X1600Pro PCI-E, repaired permissions and got a blank white screen after reboot. The code of my X1600Pro (0x71c2) is already listed in info.plist.

Got my ATI X1600Pro working! Full CI/QE and mode selection! Look here for more:

I"ve just looked and if you have a X1600 I don't understand why you tried a driver for X19x0 series ...

I try everything always in hope to get it working. In Natit (a part from the X19x0 package) my X1600 with my code 0x71c2 was listed.

Patching in MacOS is as much fun as programming in C64-Basic with a lot of PEEK, POKE and SYS-commands. I love something like this.

Could you give me the exact name, including manufacturer, and the ID code of your card?

I added the drivers in your 850XT thread.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic… ↗

that's a kernel panic. try booting with -v and watch the output.

what output do you get if you're booting with -v ?

@creative: boot in verbose mode (-v), and then make a picture of your desktop, we have to see the error output!

hm maybe the modified kext has conflicts with your X850. I could try it again, but I don't know if the RadeonX1000 is suitable for the X850 at all.

creative_: which application did you use to gain the given device id?

Could u add my graphic card driver in REV2 DVD?

(MY GRAPHIC CARD ID)
Device ID: 0x554f
Manufacter: ATI (0x1002)
Model ATI X800GTO PCIe

Thank u

if you could also add:

Device ID: 0x3150
ATI
Model: ATI Radeon Mobillity x600 (PCIe)

The Device ID of X800GTO ON WIKI is differrent from my X800GTO's Device ID.
The Device ID of mine is 0x554f(R423). On the WIKI, is 0x5d4f(R430).
Plz add The Device ID (0x554f) on ur WIKI..

Hey Tim, sorry but that isn't even working successfully, here's why:

Core Image: Software
Quartz Extreme: Incompatible

No QE/CI, that means the driver doesn't work correctly, you will need it for a good Leopard experience!

I have also done a little research about your card, but there aren't any good guides about your card anywhere... At least that's what it seems like. Don't give up though!

If you'd consider to buy a different card, what would you need it for? Only OS X? If so, then I reccommend XFX 7600 GT. Not expensive and nice performance.

thanks zephyroth

my graphic card ID appeard on ur wiki(vendors & devices page),thank u so much!

Could u upload the driver pkg of my graphic card(RADEON X800GTO{0x554f}) that u made on rapidshare.

I want to use it whether you can upload.

The dev-id are just on the wiki so you can put them on the Info.plist of the driver you plan to use ...
I don't know if your card is working or not ...
At the moment I'm focused on the stability of Rev.2, third party drivers will come later.

zephyroth,I understood,thanks.

I'm planning to put DEVICE ID on the Info.plist of some drivers that I will select.

I'll tell u If the attempt is successful or not. bye!

just to add a device id i have a Sapphire ATI Radeon x1650pro
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x71c6

ati x1200 from acer laptop

this is the device info for my igc on my laptop still only vesa support as far as i know, if anyone has anymore info to get QE/CI/OpenGL. i know how to edit kext files but it seems that i need the whole pkg for the video to work full on because to the rs690 chipset. if anyone can help.

Need a driver for ATI x1800xl on Leopard 10.5.6

I have Leopard 10.5.6 up and running. The video card is detected however the resolution is only showing one option 1024x768.

I've spent sooo many hours trying to get this work using the dated Borisdenov and other methods but no change.

X1270

If it is possible to get a kext working for the X1270, it's RS690 based, uses shared memory, and has a dev ID of 0x791f.

It reports that there are no kexts loaded. I only have a selection of 1024x768, and editing boot.plist and using "Graphics Mode"="1280X800X32" at bootup doesn't help either. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.

Using Zephyroth 10.5.2.

ATI x1200 : "Graphics Mode"="1280X1024X32" OK

Try other resolutions such as 1280x1024 or 1600x1400.
They both work for me with an ATI x1200

I have not yet find a kext to get QE
At the moment I have not used any video kext or anything for RS690.
