One problem is still there: After Sleep the fan of the graphich chip is veryvery loud. my ears! :-) Sorry , i dunno . Try Natit_Prionace from 1 post . Or you try natit for Alopias from 1 post . Or you edit info.plist natit and replace all "ATY,Prionace" to "ATY,PrionaceB" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex HQuest Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 CARALHO VELHO, ou eu sou muito burro ou eu sou muito cagado!!! Sorry about the portuguese rant above, but trust me, i am only blaming myself. I had reinstalled OSX from Kalyway DVD, used boot_efi, used PC_EFI V8, downloaded 7280 driver, downloaded 10.5.2 OpenGL.Framework, unzipped driver, ran sudo script.sh, rebooted, got that :censored2: :censored2: :censored2: black screen again. No even a :censored2: VNC avaliable. I will trash this piece of :censored2: VGA and get myself a decent one. Holy :censored2: :/ Is it possible my LCD screen is not compatible? Its a Samsung 245BW. I do not know whatelse to do. I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You delete natit and try ATYinject for leo ! 1) ATYinject.Prionace.zip or 2) ATYinject.alopias.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for bothering you all this week. Thanks for having at least fixed issues for other users. Thank you for trying your best to help me get my card running. I give up. Really.

Plast1k Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 My problem seems to be with natit The new 10.5.2 OpenGL.framework and 10.5.2 driver seem to work ok together (thank you for the share and your continued work on this Bronya) I had to use the command: sudo ./script.sh When I tried just sudo script.sh it said something about command not found *shrug* The System Profiler says: Unfortunately the system doesn't power down and the monitor will not turn off (still displays desktop) when told to sleep by pressing the power button tho *shrug* After copying natit.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ and fixing the permissions, the system boots to a blank, black screen once more, and would not sleep properly. Booting with the single user option (-s) allowed me to remove the natit.kext and load OS X again. [edit] Tried with the natit.kext from natit_prionace, but the PC booted to a blank screen. This time I could get the PC to sleep by pressing the power button, but when it woke, the desktop had not loaded properly -no icons or drives showing, and the GFX card fan was running at 100% speed and quite loud. (although I did notice the menus were translucent) [edit] Tried deleting natit again and tried the kext from ATYinject.alopias - Booted to a blank screen. PC slept properly by pressing the power button, the fan was still running 100% and loud Removed the alopias ATYinject.kext from the Extensions directory, and replaced it with the Prionace version instead. - Same results, boot to a blank screen, sleep, wake, see desktop with no icons and loud x1950pro fan. Removed ATYinject.kext again. [edit] Tried natit_7288 again PC booted to a blank, black screen, sleep, wake, see desktop with no icons etc. and loud fan. removed natit. Its a shame that when I use these files I cannot boot normally and that sleep mode makes the X1950Pro fan run so fast/loud. With these files and the new drivers and OpenGL framework, everything (menus etc.) looks like it's rendered much nicer and the System Profiler shows the card to be detected and working fully: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plast1k Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I think I've run out of things to try *shrug* Anybody got any advice or tips to get my desktop rendering correctly please? Without natit, the PC boots normally (no need to sleep and wake the system), but there is no transparency on the menus etc. and i'm stuck at 1024x768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatDeceiver Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 i dunno ... soon i end job ... Bronya, before you end the job , please let me ask you a question concerning a similar card. I have tried everything with my saphire X1650 in the forums here (kozlowski, MacLovin...) - I get the card to work almost 100%. The only thing that is missing is dual monitor setup is not working. My card is 71C1 with dual dvi output. My second monitor is always off, I switched, used VGA cable, but I can't get it to do dual monitor. Would you have any ideas or advice for me? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Dawg Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I just wanted to thank the big man (Bronya) because the driver does work, with my PowerColor x1950 Pro 512 mb. I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 on a spare drive (with some difficulty), used the original LEO Prionace driver from the first post, and VOILA!! CI/QE and acceleration - and after installing patch to my Madden '08, I am playing virtual football!!! Thanks again sir, you are truly a scholar and a gentleman.

pankang Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I also want to thank Bronya. The driver works perfectly with my PowerColor X1950 Pro 256MB. I just start to try Mac on intel X86. I will visit this wonderful website frequently to learn much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timstl Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 hmmm so I wonder what I'm missing, because I have the PowerColor, too. I quit messing with it for the last week because I was getting a little frustrated. If I want to start all over at square one removing ATI* and Natit.kext from /system/library/extensions should do the trick, right? Is it possible there's a BIOS setting that could effect things? I'll have to get in there and look this weekend and see if I see anything in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecrowty Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hello everyone,(Sorry my English is not so good!) i read this Topic many hours, to get my "SAPPHIRE ATI Radeon 1950 Pro 512 PCIe" working correctly on my OS X 10.5.1(Kalyway). Special THX on Bronya! And Trauma23, your Post #607 was helping me very much. I followed your instructions exact and all things working!! Trauma's Post : Delete /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000 , ATIRadeonX1000GA, ATINDRV, ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver, ATIRadeonX1000VADrvier, and Natit. I've also deleted the Extensions.mkext then reinstall the 1950gt package for 7280. And it's all right now. THX @ all THXTHXTHX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
