Why don't people state what brand their card is? Saying that "the Radeon 2600 PRO works if you do this!" is a bit fuzzy, since there are 20 different cards out there with that chip. This makes it really hard for those looking for a new gfx card. Please, don't forget the brand when you're posting here or on the HCL.

Also post your device ID too. Just because you have a 2600PRO doesn't mean that it has the same device ID as others either.

As stated by me i've got an Sapphire 2600 Pro 512MB pciid 0x95891002. (174B-E410 extra info from everest)

And everything is working correctly now for me even QE/CI dvd's play, frontrow is working. I'm a happy camper..

 

@drumtrasher did you use the whitemenufix for 10.5.1 (from the front page)? and did you have a working desktop before applying adding the pciid and menufix?

It worked for me at 640 or 800 can't remember with the standard install and after only installing the Natit.kext.tar.bz2 => natit.kext from 16/1/2008 with a contents of 16/2/08. (got this one from natit site)

I downloaded the 10.5.2 white menu fix because thats what I have...

Yes I had a working desktop before doing all of this...or I wouldn't have been able to do any of it in the first place.

hey Threepwood.I have ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro with 256 mb and id is 0x94c31002 .. osx is kalyway 10.5.2..hope this is clear for you
Ok, what manufacturer is it? Does it work correctly with dual monitors? I need a fanless card with DVI-I connectors.There's a fanless 2600 PRO from both HIS and PowerColor, I don't know which one I should get. Anyone with experience?

thx for sharing that infos...

 

it might be that my sapphire hd2600xt works now... but i have still a bug... hope somebody can help me.

 

i never tried a game before and i was wondering why graphic intensive programms (like logic8 with graphic analyzer) crashs sometimes.

so yesterday i installed this drivers here and tried to play a 3d game... i found out that i have still graphic card problems.

 

my problem is: that opengl seems working, but i get graphic bugs, it looks like when i overclock a graphic card in windows.

it dont crash at me, but the game enviroment looks crazy, polygon errors, etc...

 

so i switched back to my old natit.kext (where only dvi2vga works) and i have the same problem... so i dont think that natit is fault...

 

my question: is it an opengl problem? or might it be an atindrv problem?

 

many thx...

No you don't, you get a kernel panic.

 

Boot with -s, cd to /system/library/extensions and rm -r NVDAresman.kext. I'll post more help if you need it.

 

if you have the time.Now,i post an image of screen after update

it's possible can you tells me what does that mean,kernel panic?Thank again!

Oh thats easy, do the following:

1. When you're at the Darwin/x86-Boot, type -s and press enter.

2. Once its done type /sbin/mount -uw / and press enter.

3. Then type cd /system/library/extensions and press enter.

4. Next do the following:

rm -r Natit.kext
rm - NVDAresman.kext

5. Finally do this: reboot

If it doesn't work, do the same thing but instead of removing Natit.kext and the NVDAresman.kext, this time remove ATIRADEONX2000.kext.

Hey Guys,

 

After hours of reading , I praise you all for your time into this as without a group effort we would be nowhere! However in the midst of this almost being perfect I have a small problem that I seek your expertise on for closure...

 

Is there anyway to get my pci e Visiontek HD 2600 Pro 512 mb to become supported for Quartz Extreme. Running Kalyway 10.5.2

 

It is being recognized as a 2600XT however without support for Quartz Extreme. I have tried the Natif way and still see no difference. Everything else is lovely. Any insight is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Thanks!

Tested and working QE/CI (DVI @ 1680x1050) with:

 

-> KalyWay 10.5.2 clean install (without Natit bundled)

-> Gecube ATI Radeon HD2600PRO 512Mb, Device ID: 0x9589

 

The instructions would be better adding this:

3. In Terminal:

SUDO NANO /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist

add the PCI ID of your card (check in About this MAC) over IOPCIMatch, ie: 0x95891002

CTRL + O and ENTER to save the changes.

:D

:(

 

What are you talking about its not even working right.

You don't have QE/CI/GL, all you can do is change the resolution.

 

9589 users are out of luck...

As already reported earlier (also to drumtrash but he likes to trash this forum ;-) ) my Sapphire 2600 HD Pro is working like a charm with 10.5.1 and also with 10.5.2 even after updating the leopard graphics update.

 

1) Install natit.kext with kexthelperb7

2) Reboot and alter PCI-ID in Info.Plist under /system/library/extentions/ATIRadeaonX2000.kext

3) Install the correct whitemenufix

 

Tada All Support is there

 

Proove is under the Apple => About this Mac =>More

Hi everyone

 

i have tried to follow the instructions for my 2400 HD PCIe card, but problem is i don't have any ATIradeonX2000.kext as mentioned in my extensions folder to edit the info.plist just the X2000 ,VA, GL, GA bundle/plugins. Am i not looking at this right ? :poster_spam:
