Stalkr Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I am a noob about this. How do I get this working? I really want to install Mac OS X on my laptop, and it seems some have made it succesfully work with Radeon 5850. What should I download here, what should I download else where, what guide should I follow? Can someone please, very short, write me a mini guide how I shall get this working? It would be freakin' amazing if someone would give their time to do that for me. Really. I am using an i5 Intel 430M CPU and my laptop is GX640 from MSi. Thank you VERY, VERY much in advance!

Synaesthesia Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 This is for the desktop 5870/5850. Nobody said that the laptop version works yet. And yes it's very different so it's not trivial. Sorry for the bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThE_MarD Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Heyyo, Hello guys, I have a Club3D 5850, Gigabyte p55m-ud2 and a intel core i5 750, does anybody know if this setup is OSX compatible (I was searching on some sites but I couldnt find the right info). And if it is, could somebody please tell me how. I really want an OSX dualboot Yes it is. The vidcard might work with this new aty_init.kext that Netkas is working on for proper screen resolutions and so fourth. For setting up OSX use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/ And once installed? use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] which is on there, and you would use the UserDSDT and grab the DSDT.aml that goes with your mobo.

lezardon Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 With the new Netkas driver, Radeon 5850 is now recognized by Mac osx, but QE/CI are not activated. Does anybody has a solution ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-Heine-I Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hey guys I have a problem with my Radeon 5850. Looking forward to getting it to work with OSX but now it won't even let me boot. When i boot with Chameleon I type: i386 -v After Chameleon loads some lines my entire screen turns black and my graphics fan starts spinning like mad. After a few seconds my monitor is starting to switch continuesly between analog and digital, indicating there is no input anymore. One guy one a other board said I had to put something in my second DVI-slot for it to boot, he said a DVI -> VGA dongle would do the trick but it didn't work for me. My OSX install did use to work on my other graphics card (Nvidia 6600GT). It was a pretty easy job getting it to work on that card: I didn't have to do anything and I immediatly got FullHD and QE/CI. Strangely however, booting from my HDD instead of the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD always got stuck when not in -v mode. Now it doesn't let me boot at all with the CD nor my HDD in -v mode. My system: - Intel core i5 750 - Asus Radeon 5850 1GB - Gigabyte GA-P55m UD2 - OSX 10.6.3 installation on AHCI HDD ([url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] way) I would appreciate any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-Heine-I Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 did you try at least reading the message from -zero- that is 3 post above you?? it sure wouldn't hurt you to try I'm sorry but i actually have been following this topic for quite some time. I know that updating to 10.6.4 is a must and it was stupid I didn't realise i have to use my old card first because otherwise I can't boot into OSX to perform the update. I guess I'm going to do that first, after installing the kext I will pop in my 5850 again and we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitalca Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Great! I'll wait for your report on that PS: sorry for the sarcasm in the previous post, but sometimes you see people who just doesn't care to help themselves, and want someone else to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
