MaaseyRacer Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I just got Boot132 up and running, all the updates went through so easily. However, I cannot get my graphics card to show more than 1280x1024 resolution. I have had this card running 100% in Kalyway upgraded to 10.5.4. I was using the Jcool installer and the ATI utility. Since I have switched over to Boot132 DFE/Chameleon. I cannot get this thing running. My card is an X1900GT (724b), any driver suggestions? I am at the point where I am starting to get tired of this card, and I see on this forum the 8800GT is highly supported and I am debating just buying one of those. My setup ASUS p5k-vm E8500 4GB RAM Sapphire X1900GT Update I was able to get resolutions fixed with the jccool 1950xt software. However I am still miss QE.

MaaseyRacer Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Problem solved. In 10.5.5 you must use the X1950GT for the X1900GT cards. As well as modify the ATIX1000 kext file to include 724b. I then used EFI studio to add the card (X1900XT). It is all working again. I hope i do not have to go through this graphics card {censored} again. I am really thinking about just getting an 8800gt later this week. Thoughts?

empty skull Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 when you add 1900 whit efi studio : change this : <key>ATY,DeviceID</key> <string>0x7249</string> whit your : 724b <key>ATY,DeviceID</key> <string>0x724b</string> and test again .. the string is for resolution only ..

pino72 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi there, I also got the 724b x1900GT card...i am on 10.5.5 and i got all resolutions etc but NO Quartz extreme. I tryed every possible install package, the one from JCool 10.5.5(9f33) which comes with a couple of kext and opengl framework, i tryed the ATI_x1950_7288_Leo package but still the same, all resolutions are there but no Quartz and I tryed the Skull package.... I even used efi studio to put in the string and changed the device id to 724b...still nothing. I think i installed too much now....what would be your CLEAN way to install everything for the x1900gt on a blank 10.5.5 chameleon v11 system, could you just give me the steps and the order waht to install or NOT to install that would be great.

pino72 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Solved, got it running. Some kext were not installed correctly because of AHCI/IDE issues....AND don't always trust kexthelper!!!!!
