drumthrasher109 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 HAS ANYBODY HAD THE SAME ISSUES THAT I HAD? After I install the stuff, after the gray Apple logo, the screen goes into jumbled colors, and it changes resolutions and it just sits there at a blue screen with my cursor. ANYONE ELSE?

alphaville_x Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I planned that buys Sapphire Radeon HD 3870, it whether perfectly in OSX10.5.3? Thanks Help! My Sapphire HD3850 works perfectly in Kalyway 10.5.2 (except s-video). AFAIK the only differences beetween 3850 and 3870 are memory type (GDDR3 in 3850 and GDDR4 in 3870) and chip frequency. So, I think your 3870 should work fine. By the way, why do you plan to use 10.5.3? There are several bugs - problems with Adobe products and something else. I would recommend you to install 10.5.2 instead (or wait for 10.5.4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valamimrc Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi everybody! Im beginner, but today I installed the kalyway 10.5.2, but I cant find driver (kext) for ATI Radeon HD 3600 series vga. Is there any possibility to use this VGA? Or with this card I cannot use?

Simon42 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm nearly done buying parts for my soon-to-be quad-core Hackintosh (reading you guys was priceless). The video card choice has been puzzling me for several months now but the new Radeon 4850 seems unbeatable... but I have to know: will it work in OS X? Are there any drivers, existing or on their way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, your using a fresh install by the sound of it and the worst thing thats going to happen is your going to have to reinstall.... but thats all part of the learning process.

zuz_242 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 nope. there is afaik no support jet. the newest generation of gfx-boards always needs some time to get supported on osx. same with nvidia 9600. ... the new Radeon 4850 seems unbeatable... but I have to know: will it work in OS X?

edgee Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Howto MSI Radeon 2600XT 512MB Hardware : DP35DP intel board Realtek network card, onboard will not work installed leo4allv3 10.5.2 steps : 1. installed leo4allv3 Supported Radeon HD cards: • Radeon HD 2400 • Radeon HD 2600 Pro, Radeon HD 2600 XT • Radeon HD 2900 Pro, Radeon HD 2900 XT • Radeon HD 3850 • Radeon HD 3870 • Radeon HD 3870x2 • Other Radeon HD 2x00/38x0 cards might work as well Step by step guide: 1. Get Natit from here 2. Extract the archive and copy Natit.kext to /System/Library/Extensions 3. Locate ATIRadeonX2000.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, Open /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist with the editor of your choice and add the PCI ID of your card (if it is not already in there). Save. ◦ If you have a Radeon 2600 Pro or a Radeon 3850 and 10.5.1 download this (white menu fix) Extract it and replace the original ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle in /System/Library/Extensions with the one you have just downloaded. ◦ If you have a Radeon 2600 Pro or a Radeon 3850 and 10.5.2 download this (white menu fix) Extract it and replace the original ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle in /System/Library/Extensions with the one you have just downloaded. ◦ If you have a Radeon 2900 Pro or a Radeon 2900 XT download this Extract it and copy ATY_Franklin.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext/Contents/PlugIns. ◦ If you have a different chipset skip this step! 4. Open Terminal (if you haven't already done so) and type: CODE cd /System/Library/Extensions 5. sudo chown -R root:wheel * 6. sudo chmod -R 755 * 7. sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext 8. sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info 9. You are done. Reboot and pray Thank you mcsmart for the above explanation but.... Tricky part for me where 2 things, 1. Where to find and put pci device id? , you can find you're id in the 'about this mac" menu, click on the apple logo - more info - graphics/displays there's a line lookin something lik this Device ID: 0x9588 you have to put this device id in a file called ATIRadeonX2000.kext you can find this in /System/Library/Extensions 2. in case you don't have the file ATIRadeonX2000.kext?? if you don't have the file ATIRadeonX2000.kext first do step 3 untill 9 after restart download graphics update for leopard on the apple site install it, but don't reboot yet, first locate the file ATIRadeonX2000.kext now you have it :-) and add you're id, then repeat steps 4 - 9 after reboot you're done! 2600XT is now fully working !!!

AldoWeb Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I've installed iATKOS 10.5.1 Leopard on dual boot with vista. Till here averything fine When I boot the MAC I can hear some music but the image is garbled I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 2400 HD Graphic card. On Vista I could see that the pci ID is 94c9 and vendor id 1002. I can boot on safemode at least with -x. There I found ATIRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist i found the number 0x94c91002. This makes me think It should work for my PC. But it seems i need something more. Can anyone Help!! PS: During installation or on safe mode(-x) I can use the graphical interface(I can see the screen). How can I trun off the driver that is loading on Normal Boot.
