I have a Powercolor Radeon HD 4670 1GB and am experiencing a similar problem. I don't think the 4670 is supported yet, although may be wrong and would appreciate anyone who knows otherwise letting me know.

When I install the natit kexts and reboot (with my VGA monitor connected through a DVI<->VGA converter, and another DVI<->VGA converter in the other video port, I see a grey screen immediately after the grey Apple loading screen with the spinning 'wheel'. This features several graphics 'corruptions' which move when I move the mouse, which appears to me to indicate corruption of the graphics.

I have tried connecting the actual monitor to both DVI ports (with the DVI<->VGA connecter in the other port) as per the instructions, but to no avail. I would love to get this card working and would be willing to try out anything that is suggested, as this partition I am using is not my 'main' OSX86 partition and I know how to add and remove kexts etc. as necessary.

[edit] My system - Dell Dimension E520 with Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86 GHz)
3GB DDR2 RAM
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4670 (1GB) - can find out the device ID if necessary (am not at my osx86 box right now)
iPC 10.5.6 ppf 3 installed (I know, I know, I need to get round to updating the ISO to PPF6, just haven't found the time yet)

Just a thought - perhaps the 'official' 10.5.7 release will add better support, or is this just a silly hope?

Thanks

Hi.

I have used a ASUS EAH4350 512MB silent on iDeneb 10.5.6 without any kexts and it works fine.

All works except QE and i'm stuck at VESA resolution


I have bought a HIS 4670 ICEQ4, thinking that 4350 and 4670 can actually work together.
That aside...

Although I have not tried anything yet, i think that it will work fine w/o kexts but at VESA resolution and no QE.

Will try and report back

BTW. during iDeneb installation, i didnt select any graphics kexts.

P5q-pro
2 x 2GB 800Mhz Ram
HD4350 and HD4670

EDIT: Well, as mentioned. VESA no QE, CI in software

The 4650 and 4670 are not supported, by the natit driver, at the moment, you can read it 2 threads below this one.

But if there is all those Beta 10.5.7 builds, nobody can't extract kext from it like netkas did with 4870/4850... this led me to believe that 10.5.7 wont bring 4670 support sad.gif

So.... 10.5.7 is here without HD46xx support sad.gif
this is goodbye to Hackintosh sad.gif sad.gif

After another 6 months i decided to give another try with mac os x because of new kexts from 10.6.2 (http://netkas.org/?p=284). So i installed snow leopard and updated it to 10.6.1 and then i installed these new kexts but it's still not working, i get black screen...

Is there anyone who successfully enabled QE/CI with HD4670 ?
