dmtien Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 After a week of tinkering, I finally made my Leopard install work with my X1300. I installed Diabolik's NatitX1300.kext manually, then copied the IONDRVSupport.kext, ATIRadeonX1000.kext ATIRadeonX1000VADriver.bundle, ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin, and ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle, ATINDRV.kext files to /System/Library/Extensions and did the appropriate chmod/chown/diskutil happy dance. These files were pulled from my MacBook running 10.5.2. I'm not entirely sure which does what--I'll continue tinkering to figure it out. The blue screen with cursor has to do something with video sleep or energy savings. I was clued in by the fact that someone mentioned they had to wait 30 minutes to get it to kick into normal desktop mode. Additionally, every time I'd tap the power button to reset the machine, it'd flicker into a perfect res desktop view. Once I gained access to my desktop, I turned the upper right hand corner into a "sleep display" hot corner. This way, I can immediately toggle into normal view. The result is full res capability and CI/QE support, however, any menus and contextual menus appear black. You have to repeatedly hit the right mouse button to see it flicker by. Turning off the menu bar translucency does not help. I heard snippets about the "white menu fix". Could this be what we need for the X1300 as well? Is it a plist hack or is it something more intensive with the driver bundle? I'm hoping someone can clue me into how it works, or if there's any way to hack the context menu.
