mitch_de Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi, i will switch from NV 7600 GT to ATI 2600 XT 256 MB PCIe next week. I have 10.5.3 installed Are the ati 2600 dl pack with 10.5.3 drivers or are they older ? Are there an solution by using an natit injext + EFI strings using orig. ATI driver (incl. all other opengl things ) ? I used only Nvidia cards since osx86 (1,5 year, 10.4.9 up) , thats the reason for my questions.

Danzo Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thank you for creating the installers for all the various cards it is greatly appreciated. When I was attempting to download the driver package for the 2600XT Pcie I get this error from the hosting site "The quickkey you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire." Could someone please upload a new file. Thank you, Danzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom8 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 To fix the white menu issue with 3650 & Kalyway 10.5.3 combo update, you can just install the 10.5.3 combo update first before installing 3650 drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello.. It worked for you? I'm not sure, if I'm able to make whole reinstall;) .. any way to 'roll back', update, and then drivers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardialer Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 9588 installer works great on my 2600XT. the fonts finally look right. bravo! thanks to netkas and everyone involved! now i just gotta find a sleep kernel and fix my restarting problems for 10.5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madpeanuts Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 id really like to shout out big props to Netkas and lastExile for all the support and effort helping people like me to get their drivers working. im another hd2600 (8591) lucky winner, before i had an intel gpu that got qe/ci in no time, it was great. now this one more of an effort, but a simple effort though, of digging for the info, installing some files and so on. i mean, the real work is putting it together, the extra mile is sharing it and caring for others. we all know anything is possible, especially if is just code, but only some have those skills and patience. anyways. i`ll be waiting patiently to get my ati working with full 3d acceleration, i know is work in progress, and that so many out there figured it out and got it working by themselves. im sure ill just have to click a couple times, maybe erase or overwritte a few files, and thats it... so thats why im thankful and so excited about this work. is funny that after waiting a couple of months to clear out my vista and backin up all my work so i can have the resource and time to try every install, i come to be in the waiting list for working hardware. keep up the great work and attitude!

nekton Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 My 9588 HD2600XT is working fine and when I ran Software Update (not vanilla kernel), it saw a 2600XT graphics update from Apple. I guess this would screw the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastExile Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 3450 is not the same as 3650 its the same as 2400pro&xt but still having some problems with getting a picture on the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animus_domini Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 To fix the white menu issue with 3650 & Kalyway 10.5.3 combo update, you can just install the 10.5.3 combo update first before installing 3650 drivers. 1) Can anyone to confirm that procedure works? 2) I'm thinking to buy a saphire HD 3650 512MB/128 Bits... Is this card working flawless at least on 10.5.2 or need white menu fix? 3) About heating... Has HD 3650 that issue on 10.5.2 and 10.5.3? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coccolino_dbro Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I got my 3650 working on 10.5.3 without the white menu bug: 1. installed iAtkos 2.0i 2. installed the driver package for my video card 3. installed the 10.5.3 update, but not Kalyway's. I used the Jas OsX86 10.5.3 Intel SSE3 Combo Update. Updating didn't remove QE/CI etc... However, this combo made my system profiler crash, so I had to replace SPPlatformReporter.spreporter with the one from the iAtkos install dvd. And made booting time quite long (with Kalyway combo I didn't have this behaviour), but that's another issue, to be discussed elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coccolino_dbro Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The card is a Sapphire; I don't know if it has overheating issues, but I'm running Leo all day long and i haven't noticed any weird behaviour (I guess this would be a sign of overheating?). The card's fan only has two wires, not three (as the controlled fans), and I'm guessing is working 100% all the time, keeping the gpu in certain limits. I had QE/CI before and I still have after the update; as for DVI and DualHead I can't really say, because I have only one VGA monitor, and I'm using a dvi2vga adapter to connect it (the card has only 2 dvi connectors, no vga).

animus_domini Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks coccolino_dbro. Do you know if your card have heat issue? Did your card work flawless with 10.5.2 (QE/CI, DVI, Dual Head)? And now, after update, still QE/CI, DVI, Dual Head working? Thanks Ps. Which is the brand of your video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animus_domini Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks coccolino_dbro. Did anyone test HD 3650 512MB DualHead on 10.5.2 or 10.5.3? Did anyone notice HD 3650 512MB overheating issue on 10.5.2 or 10.5.3? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animus_domini Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi all, I am planing to buy a new video card tomorrow. I have some options, but I want a videocard with QE/CI, full resolution, DualHead. I don't want a card with overheating issues. I am not a gamer and power doesn't matter that much. For me is important a videocard to do daily work, photoshop, some video editing, web, watch HD movies and, if I can play some windows games, it will be a gift. I actually using kalyway 10.5.2, updated to 10.5.3, using Netkas method. I also want a card easy to configure, because I don't want mess my system with tons of trials and errors. Probably I am asking so much, but I will be very happy if anyone give some directions to reach my goals. My options: 1) PCIe Sapphire HD 3650 512MB / 128 Bits 2) PCIe Gigabyte HD 3850 512MB / 256 Bits 3) PCIe Sapphire HD 3870 512MB / 256 Bits 4) PCIe MSI HD 2600XT 256MB / 128 Bits Any advice will be appreciate.

scho Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 lastExile, Thanks for all the hard work. I updated my AMD Zephyroth to 10.5.3 and used the pkg installer from this page. However, there are some problems. I have white menus, and the driver broke my eyeTV program. It crashes whenever it tries to display the television stream (I believe it's mpeg2). It may be related to the OpenGL framework issue, but I haven't been able to successfully patch any of the files in /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework Any ideas?

nimitch Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 lastExile I love you!!!! Anyhow,...I was thinking that I was going to have to buy a new graphics card until I accidentally stumbled across this page with your wonderful installation file on page (2). Anyhow,..I tried out the installation for (2) ATI cards. HD 3650 and 2400 PRO,...both PCIE. The HD 3650 gave me a 1280 x 1024 resolution but the menus were white. The 2400 PRO works like a charm! Anyhow,..thanks again!! Finally free from 1024 x 768 resolution!! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emsee Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Confirmation: Driver from the first post: Ati HD 2400 Pro 1GB Device ID:94c3 CI/QE Confirmed working! Just two questions my graphics card is 1GB how come it shows 256MB? I have this connected to my monitor through DVI to VGA adapter... So I don't understand what you mean, when you say you need to fix the DVI.. Does that mean if it was a straight through dvi port to monitor it wouldn't work? Or does that mean dual screening (extending the desktop) needs to be fixed? because that doesn't work for me! But it did without this driver installed OR ANY OTHER driver for that matter? but that obviously had no CI/QE. EDIT----- This driver's not working perfectly, it's made the start up slow and my computer freezes more often than it used to, and on one startup it even scrambled half of my screen but went back to normal.
