If somebody has ATI mobility HD3430 or 3450, there are 2 intermediate fixes (basically one, with two possibilities :rolleyes: ), before new framebuffer comes out:

 

- when booting your comp, go into boot menu and write "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" or "Graphics Mode"="1440x900x32".

 

If your videocard support either one or other VESA mode, you will get higher resolution then basic 1024x768 (usually 1280x1024 works, but instead of 1440x900 you probably will get 1152x864).

 

When you don't want any more at every boot to write it down, edit (as root, or sudo)

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

and add there 2 lines:

 

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x1024x32</string>

 

(of course, write instead of 1280x1024 resolution you want and your card can attain in VESA mode)

 

Any idea will 10.6 bring new FB?

Looks like you are the right track from my experience. Well, you either might have to wait at least 15 minutes before you expect to see anything showing up. I waited for about 20 minutes. You might also want to try different video cables, I first started with HDMI cables, which turn out to be total failure, DVI didn't work for me either, but VGA did. I discovered that HDMI and DVI would only work when VGA is plug and detected. So i keep VGA plugged in at all time but I am using HDMI graphic.

 

Natit should come standard in OS -X86, even my macdotnub had Natit in 10.4.10. I could be wrong, I am just assuming it is standard. Well, I nevered worked with iDeneb, but I do recommend using iATKOS and manually installed the LegacyAti and the Natit using the terminal. Good luck and please keep this updated with your progress. Many thanks,.

iATKOS does have an optional AHCI support drivers, what you are using in your bios should be identical with the drivers you install. Maybe try to install with all your processor enhance turn off in your bios, for example disable speedstep, multicore, etc... Would that work?

 

No luck.. When after boot (with iDeneb 10.5.5), you waited, was their a cursor? I waited for 20 mins or more with no cursor.. Nothing came up. Sure this is what happens?

I have the 3450 working as far as resolution goes but no Quartz Extreme. Is this possible to fix?

 

Is this the mobility HD 3450? Or the PCI-E card? I tried the kexts on iDeneb, but I just got a light blue screen and the icons and dock never loaded up. I also managed to get iAtkos 4i to load, but after installing the kexts it failed to boot. Just got a grey pixelated screen.. Any more suggestions?

ATI Radeon HD 3650 pcieDevice ID: 9598

 

Download Intel

 

Download AMD

 

 

These drivers for 3650 do not work. I have tried both on two different Intel and AMD machines and neither work.

 

I have a PCIe ATi 3560.

ASUS EAH3650 SILENT MAGIC / HTDP / 512M

 

Only driver that sort of work is

ATI x2000 source version 53410 plus natit for HD3650.

 

This driver has its own problem, but this is the only one that works in some degree.

The problem is that, after detecting the monitors on the DVI port, each port gets the other port's monitor.

I have two monitors with different resolutions (1680x1050 and 1280x1024).

After hitting "Detect Monitor" in the control panel, I have to swap the cables if I want to see the screen.

However, both DVI ports work (as long as I swap the cables after it's up and running) and CI/QE enabled.

 

If you have two same monitors, this may not be a problem, but this is pretty big problem for me as one of monitors black out until I swap the cable every time.

 

HD3650 users, this is what I've found. Can you confirm?

 

Faults and symptoms I have observed.

No ATI framebuffer or acceleration extensions loaded = fussy screen, no res change, no QE/CI etc...

No/incorrect ATI framebuffer, but acceleration extensions loaded = strange pattern displayed, system unresponsive...

Correct and loaded ATI framebuffer, but non-working acceleration extensions loaded (e.g. not source version 53410) = Black screen with mouse, sometimes garbled portions of the screen will be visible, system will respond (it works you just can't see it)...

 

In summary:

53410 drivers will work if you copy Megalodon into ATINDRV and use a injector (Natit) edited accordingly, or use a graphic string.

 

Can anyone confirm /deny or expand on any of this???

 

I have a ASUS Silent Magic HD 3650.

I installed the driver 53410 plus natit, and I can comfirm that this works with one problem.

 

After detecting monitor on DVI port correctly, the monitor is assigned to the wrong DVI port.

I have two monitors with different resolutions.

After doing "Detect Monitor", I have to swap the two monitors. Since this happens for every reboot, it's not a minor problem for me.

Hmmm, did you test it with VGA? Well I got it to work, I posted the picture showing how that it does work. Than again I never worked with ideneb. I just use iATKOS. I do recommend you to try iATKOS. My is a 10.5.5 version.

 

Have you try booting into verbose mode of safe mode? Also when installing do not add any other video cards driver or any drivers that is not your card. I tried with ATI 3460 driver which the same thing happen to me and it just stick on the blue screen. Good luck.

But we both have problem with sleep.

ATI Radeon HD 3650 pcie

Device ID: 9598

Download Intel

 

Download AMD < ----- I USED THIS ONE

 

I used the AMD driver. I am thinking maybe it is not an installer fault, but iPC's.

I tried both Efi V9 and Efi v8 (Chameleon 1.12 - 1.11) and had exactly the same problem

The patches I used are:

Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0

Smbios 667

ADI 1988B

PCGenRealtek 8139

NforceLan

Realtek 8187

Seatbelt Fix

Finder 10.5.5

DeepSleep

No Video Drivers. -- I also erased all the Natit, Ati, Geforce an NV kexts before running the Installer.

 

Everything Works EXCEPT -- ATI HD 3650 256-MB (dev id: 9598) -- on AMD CPU

Please HELP ME I dont know what else to do. I am trying 3 full days now.

I bought this card for nothing?

I am disappointed because this installer has exactly what i need: same device id and for AMD, so it can't just not work.

Sorry for my English, and thank you for the hard work you are doing for us.

Hope someone helps me. I REALLY NEED IT FOR PHOTOSHOP
