Hi. I'm running the new 10.5.2 rev.2 install and I have some problems with graphics. I selected the x1600 kext in the installer but I didn't get CI/CE or resolution switching. This card worked flawlessly in Tiger and I tried using kexts…

I got some problems when I tried to install the 10.5.2 disk In the beginning of the install I get the message: Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer The installer could not install the software because there was…

“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 installe…”

“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…”

“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 …”

“@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 o…”

“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 south…”

“Sweet! I tried with an old ATINDRV.kext from Tiger but didn't get it working. I'll try your files as soon as I get home from work. Are they patched for 0x71c2? edit: I'm thinking about doing this on a fresh install. I'll install the origina…”

“yeah I tried with the graphics update but still the same...light blue screen with no cursor or anything... Shift+Ctrl+Eject didn't do anything either.. I tried this with a fresh reinstall of Leopard as well, but still no go. Thanks anyway A…”

“I figured the update was included on the rev.2 dvd.. Is it not? It won't show up in System Update. When I tried to edit my (original) ATIRadeonX1000.kext to achieve CI/QE I got stuck at a blue screen when loginwindow is loaded.”

“I actually made it (partially) work using the manual install guide. My only concern now is that I need the original ATIRadeonX1000.kext from the DVD and that damn install DVD wont mount in OSX... anyone else got that "problem"? I need it to…”

“Also, I don't think this is a problem related to the network card in use. I can ping the other computers just fine. If the network shares worked for you in 10.5.1 or any other Leo version, I'd try to copy the filesystem folder into this ins…”

“I have the exact same problem! And when I try to "Connect to server" Apple key+K, I get some message about the address not being correct smb:// afp:// and so forth. This is happening when I use an adress like smb://192.168.1.4 cifs://Server…”

“If you are running more than one harddrive, you might wanna try to disable Spotlight on all drives except the OS X one. I never had this problem myself but I read somewhere (on the insanleymac forums) that this might help. Worth a shot mayb…”

“rev2 worked for me. The problem was caused by missing drivers for the southbridge. try injecting kexts that work with your hardware.. also, I cannot install on a GUID partition, I have to use MBR...”

“Oh crap.. it seems likely though. When I turned the ACPI off I got a Kernel panic as soon as the dvd started loading. I guess I might be out of luck on this I'll try injecting the kexts that made my chipset work in Tiger. Otherwise it's 10.…”

“Actually the DVD is IDE.. I read somewhere that I could try to disable ACPI before installing. Gonna do that as soon as I get home from work. I'm also thinking about injecting the VIAATA kext as it seems strange that the disks are reported …”

“I will try this myself when I get home.. Tried it last night but I didn't patch the binarys at startup... I find it really wierd that I didn't have to do any of this to run an application (except with Parallels) in Tiger. Maybe it is some o…”

“Did this work? Just when I thought everything was ok...I installed Toast How come this patching is not needed in Tiger? Seems quite strange.. Also, wouldn't it be possible to make some kind of AMDInject to fool all these CPUID apps?”

“It's with ATIinject.”
