Support for some HD5000 series GFX cards emerged in MacMini 10.6.4 Image
 
See latest entry on netkas.org:
http://netkas.org/?p=465


The following cards have been reported to work, yet:

HD5570, 5650, 5670, 5750, 5770, 5850, 5870 & 5970

Download the new ATI drivers from netkas file server:
http://mirror.netkas.org/driver.tar.bz2

5750 & 5970 owners need to add their device ID into ATI5000controller.kext

Use this version of ATY_Init.kext as inject (32-Bit Kernel only):
http://mirror.netkas.org/5700/ATY_Init.kext.zip

HD57X0 owners who have problems with getting working display, may try replacing all <string>ATY,Uakari</string> with <string>ATY,Vervet</string> in ATY_init.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Update 08. March 2011

thanks! everithing is working! got phenom hack with 5850... but it seems that video playback is not accelerated :( or it is the problem of the latest qoopz kernel... in every video player got 1 core 100% busy and video lags while other 3 are free...


ps. well i've found the problem - i got 5850 + 8800GT and after deleting nvdanv50hal.kext, nvdanv40hal.kext, nvdaresman.kext, nvenabler 64.kext - video playback is smooth and there is no 100% cpu load.. :)

I didn't have much sucess with my 5750 but it was worth a try:

Hi RayFlower,

It's a page fault this happens when the OS fails to locate a memory section that has been stored to the hard disk.
Probably you just make a mistake when installing the kext files (file permissions, the cache not beeing rebuild or similiar)

Let us try step-by-step:

1. Install pfix http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/06/pfix-v3-1-released/ it will repair the file permissions and rebuild the cache for you.

2. Install just the ATY_init.kext - be sure to use this one http://mirror.netkas.org/5700/ATY_Init.kext.zip - the one from netkas original post has had no 5700 series support.
Just copy it into /System/Library/Extensions by Finder, open Terminal and run pfix on your OS X Partition.
(Be sure to have no other Graphics Inject on your system - remove GraphicsEnabler from com.apple.Boot.plist + any other kext based inject like Natit & others if present!)

Reboot and check for the card to be reported as ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series in System-Profiler

3. Download the new ATI kexts http://mirror.netkas.org/driver.tar.bz2, open ATI5000Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist and add your Device ID into the IOPCIMatch Section. Device ID should be 0x68BE (check in System-Profiler), so you should make it look like this:

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x68BE1002</string>


Move the current ATIFramebuffer.kext & ATISupport.kext from /System/Library/Extensions into the trash can.
Drop all the new version ATI kexts into /System/Library/Extensions folder, open Terminal and run pfix on your OS X Partition again.

If your screen will go to stand-by after reboot, try using a different output i.e. (secondary-)DVI.

Please report back - I'd like adding the 5750 to the supported cards list. :D

Thanks!
I don't get a kernel panic now.
This "sortof" works with vga, however its stuck with silly displaymodes.
Acutually... this is really odd, when i plug in hdmi dvi and hdmi i can get 1920x1200 on the hdmi output... but all i get is a blue screen and on dvi i get no signal:S

BUT
This is great news anyway considering the fact that this works at all, i can open iMovie now and it doesn't complain it doesn't have QE support for instance so its a huge step in the right direction!

And a image to confirm this.

Oh and i should add, this works great with the starcraft2 beta!


Edit 2:
Using a hdmi2dvi cable made it possible to use dvi in 1920x1200 now, so i guess that solved it for me, well "solved" as it's a silly solution but still better than nothing!

Imkantus 07-05-2010 09:35 PM

Have you tried replacing Uakari with Eulemur in order to get DVI working, yet?

RayFlower 07-05-2010 09:52 PM

Yeah, i did that, but it only works when i use hdmi2dvi and dvi on my monitor at the same time, which is okay for now i guess:)

Anyhow, thanks for the help!

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I was able to put my Sapphire 5750 1Gb Readeon to work. Only one DVI Out with 1280x1024x32 tested because I only have an old lcd monitor with vga input. I will soon buy an HD monitor and then I notice the result.

MacOS 10.6.4
Asus p7p55d-e
Intel 2.8GHz Core i5-760

It works, thank you
 
Using the guide, I have HD5750 working. Using Vervet, maximum resolution can be achieved, also there's no problem with video playing.

Ok, dual monitor working but with some modifications. Only the 2 DVI outs tested.
Follow this manual.
