Hello everyone,

I've been doing MONTHS of research for getting QE/CI working on my mobility radeon 9000. At this point in time, I'm fairly confident that we can't get QE/CI working on anything lower than the 9550 (if I'm wrong please correct me).

Although I havn't gotten QE/CI working on my laptop, I've gotten pretty darn close. I've gotten it to the point where iTunes will render visualizations with very decent framerates, chess with no artifacts, etc. I'm not sure if any graphically intense applications (ex. Motion ) will work on this, but if anyone can get it going I'd love to hear.

Anyways, enough gibberish, lets get on with the guide.

Firstoff, go to Omni's Callisto project page

http://omni.starchaser.org/callisto/

I tried all the builds, but only build 003 worked for me. All other builds either didn't work or I got a very depressing black screen. If you don't feel like experimenting, I reccomend downloading build 003, it seems like it has the highest success rate.

After you download the Callisto build, extract it and open the installation file (html). Follow the steps in the walkthrough. After you've completed those steps you (should) be able to change your resolution.

Now lets get some 3d acceleration!

Download JaS's ATi driver by clicking the link below.

r0ck3r4ever's guide for installing this driver was very good (which you can read below)

unzip the file
open terminal
do the following
sudo -s
enter your password
rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
cp -r /Users/YOUR USER NAME HERE/Desktop/Ati/build/Debug/Ati.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Ati.kext
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
then you're done!!!
reboot system




After that you should have decent 3d acceleration and a higher resolution with no mouse tearing or artifacts.
Again, if someone notices that I screwed something up, please don't hesitate to correct me.

Edit: Aperture runs OK (even w/o CI), a bit sluggish but very usable, also DVDs can play back using VLC (also a bit sluggish, but its a step in the right direction).
