This is my first post on this forum so welcome to everybody.

My ATI x1600 video card is problem which I can't solve by only reading this or insanelymac forum.
After instalation like most I've got 1024x768 res but I've got problem when I move window (look picture1) or scroll something. I've tried to install with Natit.kext or ATIinject way but after it GUI not loads (screen only blinks, system loads farther but I only can see booting white strings.) Anybody got this card working on Zephyroths rev 1?
Any ideas?

My specs:
Benq P52eg
Sempron 3400 (32bit SSE2,SSE3)
ATI SB450, RX485
ALC262 audio
ATI x1600 mobility 256MB

Small update: I checked on safe mode and it seems that this problem doesn't appear there, so maybe I've got same unnecessary kexts which are doing bad job?

I think I know what is the problem. I've made a small experiment. I put modified kexts with ATIinject and like it was before screen only blinks once, and system loads further. I see nothing but boot stripes but I've made screenshot, and then reboot, delete all ATI kext, login and I've got Picture on my desktop which is in res 1280x1024 and in my laptop should be 1280x800, so I think is the reason why screen only blinks. How can I change resolution? "Graphical Mode"="1280x800x32" at boot not works

Gng, i own BenQ P52 laptop as well...have the same problem - got rid of scrolling problems, but still cant get proper resolution. Could You please post Your kext which u are using now ? I think we could use the same.

And by the way - did You get your audio card working on headphones output ? Cause mine works only with laptop`s speakers.

I use all kext from this topic: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=80649&st=0&p=571627

Actually my audio card isn't work at all. What kext are you use for audio?


Nobody knows how to change that resolution? I tried to edit com.apple.Boot.plist but then darwin stops load. Maybe I can use a VNC client? Which vnc will work on osx and linux? Any other ideas?

Ok after install kexts i connect with VNC to see what is wrong, and then I realized that : (picture). Hmm why is not detect my interior monitor? I've put EDID (taken in windows XP by Phoenix) into ATIinject.kext. Any ideas? My edid:
00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 06AF7421 00000000 010F0103 80211578 0A1CF597 58508E27 27505400 00000101 01010101 01010101 01010101 0101C71B 00A05020 17303020 36004BCF 10000018 0000000F 00000000 0000000 00000000 00020000 000FE004 1554F0A2 02020202 02020202 0000000F E0042313 53445573 032205631 200A00AA

I was thinking about it and maybe I should change bios in my graphic card? Or try some older osx (tiger ). What do you think about it?

It looks like I've got bad luck. I tried OSX 10.4.8 by Jas and the same thing, screen blink and thats all. Is it possible that Phoenix gave me wrong edid? Anyone on this forum got this card workinkg?
