5c4r7 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi there, my apologies if this question sounds a lil n00bish but, I just added an EAH3650 Silent Magic to a Dell Dimension 8400 that I recently acquired. I just finished installing Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD and everything seemed fine but, once it reboots, I get the grey Apple screen loading for about 20 seconds and then it freezes. Next I hear the system setup music playing but, I cannot configure the OS at all because all I can see is the frozen grey Apple screen. I assume this is just because the video is not loading. Should I be seeing the setup screen here? Do I need to add or edit a kext file or something? Do I need to boot the OS another way and then install the driver? Do I need a different video card to install the driver? How do I install the driver if I cannot set up my OS? Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. -s* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omallymac Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hey Spacekebab i just got the 3650hd yesterday with device id 9598 what i did to get it to work is i used the old driver thats on the first page. firstly boot on safe boot and delete any ATI related kext or anything with ati on it at least thats what i did then it will boot on normal then install the driver you downloaded hope it helps. Thanks for the suggestion. After trying lots of other stuff, your suggestion worked for me very well. Just one more small, minor problem. I have my DPL projector hooked up to the component jacks via the S-video plug. Any ideas how to get the second monitor to show via component? It does show that I have a second display, but I figure thats for the other DVI port. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have an Asus HD3650. Thanks Omallymac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlbailey Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have updated my system to 10.5.5, and ran software update where there is an ATI Firmware update for HD 2600 XT cards. I have an HD 2600 Pro in my computer and am wondering if this is showing up due to the fact that System Profiler shows my card as a XT instead and if there is any fix for this.

naplo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It seems that there are quite a lot of people requesting a solution for the ATI HD3450 so I was wondering if theres a guideline or something like that how you can proceed to find a working solution. Which information is needed and which parts of the kext have to be edited and so on. I think if we all work together it should be possible to work something out! So please guys, just give us some advice how we can get forward with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
