eep357 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 are they flash videos? If so updating to latest version from adobe will help, but even then they will still be flash videos If DVD player crashes every time you launch it, unless it's an error saying you need internal DVD player, chances are your graphics acceleration is not fully enabled regardless of ripples and chess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giofrida Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Try to change SMBIOS. Â Look for the closest to your config. Â Try, for example, iMac12,1 SMBIOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep357 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good job thus far on your testing to get to this point! Looks like still a framebuffer issue then, Eulemur is getting you close, but without proper sense ID/port match. Before trying every "Monkey" framebuffer and adding the # of ports to your org.chameleon.Boot.plist, what is the device ID for your card? Make sure it shows in ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext, if not add it and try with and without forcing framebuffer. If device ID is already present, add # of ports to config as AtiPorts=4 or however many you have and go through the whole list of hd 5000 framebuffers. Just specify them from chameleon boot prompt so it won't take very long and will return to default at next reboot incase it doesn't work. At boot prompt type: AtiConfig=nameofframebuffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada_number3 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well After trying almost all of the AtiConfig settings, i stuck with shrike wich let me use all DVi and Vga the i decide to play a hi resolution movie over VLC and i look perfect at full screen better resolution that 720p in youtube which in full screen is really slow. I know is not a Flash player because i update all version firefox, google crome and safari and i know that this card is enough to play 1080p or 720 in youtube.

eep357 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 well, streaming video of the internet kinda sucks anyway. If your able to instead download those same files and watch them full screen hi res no problems than your graphics are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada_number3 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks eep357 for your help i just found that this card is trouble and i was over rating this video card for 30 bucks i was hoping to get a full 1080p card, not capable. im gong to switch to Geforce 430 or 210 they are more capable and compatible and i do need low profile video card.
