hotcorez Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 try this dsdt edit, with the exotic patch for 10.6.5 or 10.6.6 if you are using that Device (GFX0) { Name (_ADR, Zero) Name (_SUN, One) Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x1E) { "@0,compatible", Buffer (0x0E) { "ATY,Motmot" }, "@0,deviceType", Buffer (0x08) { "display" }, "@0,VRAM,memsize", Buffer (0x04) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x40 }, "@0,display-connect-flags", Buffer (0x02) { 0x00, 0x04 }, "@0,name", Buffer (0x0E) { "ATY,Display_A" }, "@1,compatible", Buffer (0x0E) { "ATY,Motmot" }, "@1,device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "display" }, "@1,VRAM,memsize", Buffer (0x08) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x40 }, "@1,display-connect-flags", Buffer (0x02) { 0x00, 0x04 }, "@1,name", Buffer (0x0E) { "ATY,Display_B" }, "ATY,Card#", Buffer (0x0E) { "109-B77101-00" }, "ATY,Rom#", Buffer (0x0F) { "113-B7710C-176" }, "device_type", Buffer (0x14) { "ATY,MotmotParent" }, "VRAM,totalsize", Buffer (0x04) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x20 /<--10=256, 20=512, 40=1024mb ram / }, "model", Buffer (0x1A) { "ATI Radeon HD 4850 Series" } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } you need to place this under you gfx card location. boot with -x and open ioregistry explorer to locate. i also deleted all the other atiradeonXxxxx + atixxxx drivers except the X2000 and 4800 drivers do this after instlaling the exotic patch make sure your device id is in the atiradeonX2000.kext afterwards as well. should work good luck!!

miscbeep Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have ATI 4850 512MB, all I did was - Add 0x94421002 in the ati4800controller.kext, then go to apple.com.boot.plist and write "<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>" under this row write "<string>Yes</string>". Repair permissions + run Kext Utility to be sure. Restart, it has to be working fully. This method is the easiest, 1 min and it's working. I've also tried all kinds of {censored} and this is the easiest and natively working method Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244683-ati-4850-quartz-extreme/#findComment-1627952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just open disk utility ⌘ spacebar then type disk utility in the search box then hit ↵ then just click on your hdd that you need to repair and let it do it's thing then restart. It's that simple. 8) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244683-ati-4850-quartz-extreme/#findComment-1628075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotcorez Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 one other thing, some people recommend that you plug your monitor into gpu port 1 (nearest the mainboard) and then put a dvi to vga adaptor on the other port to make dvi / hdmi work Not sure if this will help!! You also need to make sure you are using matching frameworks and kexts for the os version (which should be the case unless you messed around with the frameworks) Cheers, HC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244683-ati-4850-quartz-extreme/#findComment-1628675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 that works for mainly for pre 10.6.5 systems since that .5 update the 48xx cards have gotten much easier to get working by just a simpler but this doesn't seem to be the same across every vendor. The dvi dongle sadly doesn't work for people like me who have the hdmi dvi vga version the 4850 can be finicky but the dual dvi versions are far easier to get working than the one that I have which only outputs over the one dvi port. @ Madld0n wow thanks you saved me with that version of Lizard I finally got it up and working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244683-ati-4850-quartz-extreme/#findComment-1628686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwmarthe Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 maldon: Still no luck any other ideas? Or does this seem like something that is just not going to work? Thanks again for all your help!! Any idea what the actual issue is? I mean my resolution is great and it is reading the card correctly under system preferences but still can't load iMovie cause of it!!! Thanks again everyone for the help!! use the kext legacyati4800controller.kex (E/E or S/L/E)http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=59328 Graphicsenabler Use Lizard http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1034555/lizard/Lizard-custom.zip a-Auto detect value b-GraphicsInjection c-save Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244683-ati-4850-quartz-extreme/#findComment-1628858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scwhar Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've had problems using legacy kext, never seems to work for me. You can try replacing that step with manually entering device ID in 4800controller.kext, "s simple guide to" in this section explains how clearly in first post I think.
