VooD Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi, I´m planning to build a new computer in a few days and a Radeon x1650 is my first choice for video. Does it work properly in osx?

HolgerP Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 My new Sapphire X1650 is working including QE and CI... I just changed the ATINDRV.kext (as recommended for the X1600 XT in the forum) and the ATIRadeonX1000.kext (changed the vendorstring inside from 0x71c51002 to 0x71c61002) ... and wow after a restart I could change the resulution, the TFT was found, QuartzExtreme and CoreImage are supported!! The X1650 is compatible with the X1600 XT (ATI renamed the X1600 Pro to X1300 and the X1600 XT to X1650)... The "Borisbadenov" method provoced "Black Screen" (better: blue and white) I'm using OS X 10.4.7...

Hi HolgerP thanks for your info, i got also the black screen after Boris Method (im using Gigabyte X1650Pro 256 PCI-E and 10.4.6 - with 10.4.5 kexts) i havent got the chance to try the second method, because if i boot with -v -x (safe boot), that "black screen" still happen. Is there any way to get around this ? thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28392-radeon-x1650/#findComment-215353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppei Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ok i figure it out by myself already (when boot, using -s and then edit the kexts back) now fully working (QE/CI, but resolution change it manually via Boot.plist) but still have a glitch..every time i run Keynote presentation or Slideshow on iTunes (i believe this is when QE/CI running), when i stopped it or moving my mouse.. the mouse cursor is gone! and changed to little artifact(dots) across the monitor. I once read about this somewhere in the forum, but cannot find it.. any kind of help very much appreciated like always Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28392-radeon-x1650/#findComment-216295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMäcen Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 teppei: I think I will return my HIS X1600XT and get a Gigabyte X1650 pro Silent Pipe II. So you say that it works ok in Mac OS? Does both DVIs work? Do they work at the same time? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28392-radeon-x1650/#findComment-216584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
