I already edited Atinject still no openGL..Anybody could help? I'm having the same problem as you. I have a Sapphire Radeon X1650 Pro 256 MB PCIe, with the same identifier as you (0x71c7) and I can't preview any of the screensavers. Also coverflow view doesn't work, and can't watch videos (I can hear audio, but see a white screen). I have QE/CI enabled, as well as Quartz GL. I hope someone can help us solve this issue.

haxzion Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ok i think i have a little update... I tried the original ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver and the hexed one..Same result with both of them I tried to delete it and i lost QE support but i could preview my screensavers.. So i think it has to be that file..i don't know..Atinject and Natit didn't really help me to fix anything... I am looking forward for a solution..

I don't know but, in my case, if I disable QE/CI, everything works (screensavers, video, coverflow), although the screensaver's framerate is not that good (must be because there is no acceleration supported, no QE/CI). If I enable QE/CI, all of the above (screensavers, video, coverflow) don't work. Its really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico_stang Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes. Forgot to mention that. By the way great deceiver, I see you have a Sapphire X1650 Pro like me, I was wondering, have you experienced any issue with Quartz Extreme enabled, like me? If you read the above posts, you must know of what I'm talking about. What do you think can be done to solve the issues? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm not sure whether this works for Leopard or not (I don't even know if you are using Tiger or Leopard), but this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=52826 Got my ATI Technologies X1650 Pro 512MB DDR2 working with that on Tiger.

If you are referring to me, then yes, I have Leo. I used that method to enable QE/CI, and it worked flawlessly (activating it), however, I get the problems mentioned on my earlier posts.

~pcwiz Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Weird, it was working flawlessly with Tiger, maybe the kexts have problems with Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually took off OSX recently because without dual monitor capability I cannot use it. It's just silly to have an empty monitor staring at you. I remember that everything was working great, but I never tried to play with screensaver. I can't tell you unless I put the image back on. I think I have it still on my external notebook drive. will boot from that tonight to play with it and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico_stang Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey everyone, I have some good news, I finally managed to solve the problem! I now have QE/CI/QGL enabled and everything works (including screensaver, coverflow, and videos). What I did was, I extracted Modbin's Package Drivers (for 71c6 indentifier), and edited every kext, replacing 71c6 with my device ID (71c7). I then replaced the files on the extensions folder with the edited ones, ran the Extensions Repair program, restarted, and bingo, everything works. It seems to me there was a problem with the identifier, and that was causing errors when watching video, in coverflow and with the screensavers. So, after all the hard work, I got to say that everything is working perfectly. If you have any question, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 That's weird chico_stang, because changing the device ID of modbin's package is exactly what kozlowski's edited kexts do Maybe kozlowski's kexts weren't installed properly on your system.
