Hi,

The question is, if there will ever be supply for the 47XX series!?!
I think, one can forget resolutions up to 1024 with this card.

I bought one for the kids computer, as it is fast, cheap and does not consume to much power.

My question is, if there will ever be any kind of support for this cards?!

Cheers
netkas
sitting and asking it in every thread will not bring you a driver.

That might be possible, if for example the new Mac Pro's got that Videocard

Does this mean 4770 support is being worked on? At least preliminarily?

I visited IRC RadeonHD but cant find any DL:Link with named 47xx . like DL Links found for the 3870X2, NEW RadeonHD .
Or does you meaned an IRC chat about 47xxx and not an DL Link there.

netkas
u need to try beta booter from netkas.org and drivers for 46xx, add your devid to ATI4600Controller.kext

Hi netkas,

If I understand, the HD4770 work with the HD4600 drivers that will be include in the 10.6.2 update ?

So once 10.6.2 is released, all we'd have to do is add our devid to the 4600 kext and we'd be all set. Do I have that right?
monsterthrash
So now that 10.6.2 is out, what's the process for getting 4770 support working? I'm on a vanilla install.

10.6.2 is here and we can officially talk about it, at last! I hope to try Netkas's suggestion by this weekend. Anyone tried it out yet? I noticed a link to beta booter under his announcement about 10.6.2 on the excellent man's site. smile.gif

Well I don't have Snow Leopard sad.gif. Is there any chance for 10.5.8?
Nosh
So someone tried the HD4770 on 10.6.2 with beta booter?

I thought the beta booter was for use before 10.6.2 was released. Didn't someone say that 4770 support was already included with 10.6.2? I'm really confused as to what exactly we're supposed to do to get this working besides adding our devid's to the 4600 kext.

I already tested it but didn't work. wallbash.gif

What new cards should work native with this update?

I think the broad assumption is that it won't work - the 10.6.2 drivers being for 43xx/45xx/46xx - but worth trying.

Might be an idea to post your results on Netkas's 10.6.2 post on his site. Someone there called Zen suggested:-

"use beta booter, enabler GraphicsEnabler, add your device-id to ATI4600Controller.kext and test and report"
