Zigtown Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hey guys I have a x1650 512mb PCI-E card and I have installed a retail copy of Leo. I have tried every way there is to try and get this card to work. It works great in a hackintosh version but I can't seem to get it to work on retail. The last step is efi strings. Now my self I have no idea how to do this. I am looking for a little help here. Display: Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x71c1 Revision ID: 0x009e Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported That is my graphics in system profiler. I know it says it's 256mb but I know for sure it's 512. Thanks to anyone who can help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigtown Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I already tried that method. My video just freezes at the grey apple screen even if I boot -x. The last step I have is to do efi strings. As I mentioned I have tried the other 3 methods including that one. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
