hey mitch,

i want to thank you so much!!! thxthxthxthx...my Sapphire 3870 works with QE/CI now wink.gif

for those who want to know how i did it:

i did a fresh install using ipc 10.5.6 without Video driver, booted on first restart with -x, ran efistudio_extended and chose megadlon.
after that and before second restart i did "repair disc permissions" with disc utilitys.

then i restarted and crossed fingers...then i JUMPED and JUMPED and SCREAMED and SCREAMED and SMILED biggrin.gif

greets fly out to all the ppl who try to get osx on their pc running just for the fun of it tongue.gif

It's so great to see people in joy like you smile.gif

I bought a Sapphire 3850, I will see if it will work like yours, normally yes but I don't want to talk too fast...

A big Thank you to people who shares their experiences, around the world.


Off topic: I want also to encourage people to buy a copy of leopard... Like many others we have a Mac (I have two mini).. And it's not so expensive, instead of a copy from "Macro The Soft".. their prices are the triple (More?) .. see what I mean

Have a good day,night..

is this a sapphire 3870 silent (aka ultimate) by any chance?
i got one and canīt get it running under 10.5.6 .. 10.5.5 is fine, but under 10.5.6 with or without efi strings it is just resolution but no qe/ci ..
