The Boot loader i found was chamelon rc5 rev660 still the only problem i have is the qe/ci any help is much appreciated. Thanx in advance.

The Chamelon bootloader rc5 rev660 have my ati 4650 working with out any kext but as i stated only problem is the qe/ci on Mac 10.6.6 retail.

Hello,

To enable qe/ci i think you have to insert your vendor + device id @ iopcimatch into the atiradeonx2000.kext.

It did not work Seems the Bootloader in some way is acting as a driver for them and not using kext files at all i dont understand this. ????

Sure it uses the kexts files but not all of them. For resolution are the ATI4600controller.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext and ATISupport.kext and for qe/ci are the ATIRadeonX2000 kexts.

How did you insert your id??? Does it look like that? 0x94981002
It should be the right id composed of device id+vendor id..... But you´ve to check if it´s right because i looked for it in the Internet

Did you install the exotic graphics update? I don´t know exactly if it´s need for your card but i think so.....
For 10.6.6: http://www.kexts.com/view/804-qe-ci_...or_10.6.6.html (if you install it you´ve to check the ATIRadeonX2000.kext again)

I was sure it used kext's to but i removed all of them and still got full working ati card minus qe/ci. I know this might sound odd and every thing but i cant explain it other then what i have post. And yes i know how to insert the id of my video card i have been trying to do this for 2years. This boot loader is by fair the most progress i have made.

@ krillinballz

I too have been looking for a while how to make my ATI 4650 work..but no luck so far. Could you please explain how you got it to work? Are you getting more than one resolution? Thanks in advance.

Snakeo2 Honestly I used Multibest to set up every thing for auto,bootloader after i install all that stuff. I replace it with a Chamelon bootloader rc5 rev660 then restart this bootloader does teh rest pretty much
