Thank you for the bootflicker boot file. It works perfectly in Snow Leopard but Lion just restarts with the boot file.

Is there any updated file for Lion or is there any other way to enable qe/ci in Lion?

Dear friends,

Thanks to this guide and a hard fight I've managed to get my ATI HD 4650 working fully! My specs:

Mobo: ASUS P5KPL-AM/BR
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core E5500 2.8GHz 2MB 800, 775
Graphic Card: ATI HD Radeon 4650
RAM: 4GB

To the author(s) of this guide, thank you so much, best regards from Brazil and a Happy New Year!

Anytime I modify ATIRadeonx2000.kext it kernel panics on bootup and while installing it it also kernel panicked for me. I've tried on both 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 with the same result

Did you get it working?? because i have same problem as you

I'm the guy you've been talking to on aim about it I'm still working on trying to figure this out I can't seem to find anyway to boot it without kernel panicking on that radeonx2000 kext

I got it working the GraphicsEnabler=y wasn't properly being injected before but once I got that fixed I was able to boot up using JaS's kexts and method of installing along with the dvi-boot perfectly fine. Thanks for putting this up!

Could you tell us what did you change in the sources ?

Also I couldn't get it to work without ATY_Init.

ATY_Init.kext is using Motmot as Framebuffer for the 4600 Series cards.
My boot_vga.zip is doing that as well - in addition with 10.6.2 Framebuffer Kernel Extensions VGA + DVI output should work using that one.
Using any later Framebuffer drivers than 10.6.2s ones Motmot does no longer work.

The other two boot files are made for the reason to be able to use stock Kernel Extensions of 10.6.3 or any current later version instead of old versions.
Using most cards we are able to gain working DVI output using Shrike as Framebuffer - in some cases where Shrike doesn't work, Flicker does.

Apart from that there are no changes regarding the ATI Injector.

Unfortunately that didn't work. From what I've read, the GUI is defaulted to Yes since Chameleon 2.0 RC1... But never mind, I'll give up and stay with the text menu. Thanks for your help!

Today Apple released Snow Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 that addresses some issues related to video performance. After automatic update installed this update, I went back to only one resolution available (1400 x 1050) and probably no QE & CI. Any idea on how to fix this?
