well well, this didn't work either.. The loginwindow doesn't show.
I've really tried every singe combination of kexts for every system version along with all known modifications.. It's probably because of my RS482 mainboard with SB450 southbridge.. I'm gonna give the Leo4All a shot then go back to Tiger until I can try JaS's verison out, if he decides to add AMD support.. |
@naquaada: Did these kexts work for you in 10.5.2 rev2 or are you using rev1 or 10.5.1??
I switched to Leo4All but the problem did'nt go away. At least that release has working network shares... I really need the graphics to work. It's the only thing missing in my setup.. It seems alot of other 71c2 users on 10.5.2 are having similar problems. |
Seems like it could be the graphics update that breaks the acceleration. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=89961
I'll try to copy the files from a 10.5.2 disk or maybe even the 10.5.1 one. I suppose the 10.4 kexts won't work 100% with this newer kernel, any thoughts? |
hi there if this is anything like my x1650 256mb pcie card then, i use atinject.
|
I use ATIinject too, it gives me the right resolutions but not CI/QE.
When I tried the kexts from 10.5.1 I get CI/QE but with those stange black menus.. If you have a working x1650 in 10.5.x, please tell me what install DVD you used, if you applied the graphics update 1.0, and what files you altered. I tried to use the IONDRVSupport from 10.5.1 too, but then all I get is a blue screen with cursor.. |
hi there silentmac, i use 10.5.2 rev 1(cant get rev 2 to run,waiting for root). i did the install as normal, selected customize and selected x1600 kext although on rev 1 i dont think these get applied correctly. upon first boot i get error about kexts not installed correctly, at this point i do all software updates including graphics update 1.0 (if software update doesnt offer this get it from mac update site and install) restart. at this point i copy any kexts that were complained about (ie sound card usually) to the desktop and reinstall them using kext helper. then i copy 3 kexts that i hex edited for my card atinject, atindrv (make sure ATY_Wormy.kext is in plugins folder), ATIRadeonX1000.kext install using kext helper, reboot viola QE/CI res change (i use 1900 x 1200). others have tried using my kexts but resulted in kernal panics. this works for me i have done many reinstalls using the method above and works every time..sorry for the long diatrob.
hope this helps Firewalk |
Awesome!
It finally got it working! I can swear I tried the same steps before..but... I installed all the graphic kext's from 10.5.1 and got CI/QE with terrible tearing, then I installed the Graphics update and before I restarted I installed the my modified kexts. BAM! Full CI/QE, DVI and everything. Thanks alot for all the help and support Firewalk and naquaada. I was really starting to give up but you guy encuraged me to keep trying! Now my Leo install is as complete as my Tiger setup 8-) And I made a serious backup of my current working kexts. Thanks again. |
so is that with or without ATIinject, silentmac?
|
It's with ATIinject.
|
ATIinject seems to be the key file for getting x1600 cards to work..
