Full Version: I need help on enabling QE for ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro PCIe (DevID 0x94001002)

Ok, so having no answer on my previous post on my iDeneb install, I thought I give a shot to the latest iPC release.
And it turned out it worked out very good, close to my previous experiences with JaS, XxX and Leo4ALL. All went fine and smooth and I am so much close to being a happy user again.
But I got the very old problem with the CI/QE. It was much too beautiful to be perfect ...
And as this forum changed a lot since my last visit, I find myself lost trying to find help on how to enable QE on my card. Once there were some sticky posts on trivial problems like mine but it seems that those posts vanished.

So, I need help to enable QE on iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 FINAL, using the 9.4.0 Universal kernel.
During installation I chose to install the "ATI Radeon HD 2900" provided drivers (I will try a new installation using the provided "Natit" too right after I end this post, just to make sure, but I have the feeling it won't help me too much)

The "About ...." now shows like this:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2900

Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

ROM Revision: 113-B1480A-236
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.236

Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Software
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Rotation: Supported
Display Connector:
Status: No display connected

... and I really hope this time someone will bother to answer.

Having a heck of a time getting my 2900 HD pro (512) to work correctly. Right now I have everything working except quartz extreme and core image. =(

When I try Efi Studio, or the ati package, I get either a black screen or all the squares/garbled graphics. I forget which for which, but it no worky Help?
