Synaesthesia Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 QE/CI can't work with this card. You can force resolution higher by editing the file com.apple.boot.plist but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smvalera Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 QE/CI can't work with this card. And, as I understood, we'll never see the solution? Is it absolutely impossible (to enable QE/CI) or is it temporary problem which could be solved later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVD9 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i'm still waiting a solution too ! what's new ? What about ATI Mobility cards? Dell XPS 16. HP Envy. ASUS G73. The sexiest laptops use ATI Mobility cards. They are the best. Soon ATI will hit the market with Fusion, which will grab a big chunk of the market. Are Hackintoshes destined to be the fare of Wal-Mart bought laptops and netbook {censored}? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zantac105 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 This is how I got my ASUS EAH4650 low profile to have all resolutions and QE/CI I installed hazard 10.6.2 and I selected customize. I selected pcefi 10.5, evoenabler, aty_int Basically ignoring anything 4800 related. After the installation had completed, I navigated to the "hard drive/system/library/ extensions" and made a copy of "ATIRadeonX2000.kext" and "ATI4600Controller.kext" to the desktop. I deleted the kexts for all other ati 4500 4700 4800. Just highlight a few and "right click" then "move to trash". On the desktop I right clicked on each kext and clicked "show package contents" then I clicked on the "contents" folder and opened "info.plist" with "text editor". I then proceeded to remove all vendor IDs except mine which was 0x94981002. Then I saved the text file. I downloaded "kext helper b7" google it. Then I dragged and dropped the newly modified kexts to the kext helper and proceeded to install them as per the kext helpers instructions. Then I went into the "Applications" and clicked on the "kext utility" I let it do its thing- takes about 10 minutes on my machine. You can see here if your graphicsenabler is set to "Y" . Then when prompted I rebooted. I got the usual startup stuff happen then my screen went black. I simply switched to VGA port and voila! A fully functional 4650 hardware accelerated. My kexts are attachedArchive.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Well I a managed to get QE/CI working as well as resolution change, but seem to be stuck in mirror mode. -I am running a Diamond Radeon HD 4650. -I am using 10.6.3 with the 10.6.3 kexts. -I have edited 4600Controller and Radeon2000 to include my device ID. -I am using one monitor with straight VGA and the other using a DVI-VGA Converter. -If I remove the DVI-VGA Converter and have 1 monitor connected VGA and the other DVI, then both screens go into sleep mode on boot. -I have made sure to remove all enablers from /S/L/E as well as /E/E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
