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
See here for latest news about Framebuffer driver in Mac OS X Lion!

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..

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
