strange why it is not working for you. have you done the graphics update from apple?. did you use all three files i sent?..are you using 9.2 with efi?.. i only ask because people keep asking for my kexts and if there not working for you and you have the same setup as me i imagine they wont work for anybody else (saves them the kernel panic).

i have been talking to modbin over at insanelymac and he had created a package for our cards for tiger and is now creating one for leo 10.5.2 since he has the same card dev id but with agp

installed the 3 files on a fresh install of leopard 10.5.2. And was using 9.2 with efi.

But have my new 8600gt up and running now, with QE/CI working

Firewalk, think this .kext will work on a PCIe X1600 Pro 512mb? The kexts that came with Zeph's 10.5.2 get me QE/CI, but no resolution changing, and plenty of mouse tearing.

I had some kexts for 10.5.1 that worked real nice. QE/CI, full resolution. But they don't work correctly in .2

Dev ID is 71C2

you would need to add your dev ids into kexts and hexed in but they should

YAY i now have qe/ci with my radeon x1650 dev id 71c6 in 10.5.2. remember install the leopard graphic update, then head over here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=35733&st=0#entry254302 for an installer pack!
