Hovo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have a dell inspiron with an Ati Radeon Mobility x300 128mb with a device ID of 5460. Is there anyone out there that has gotten this to work in Tiger 10.4.11 with QE/CI support? I have searched endlessly for days and have not found a solution. Please if anyone can point me in the right direction. Right now I have Callisto 003 running with Kovergs 9700 patch. But there is no QE/CI support. I can change resolutions. I know this card is capable of QE/CI because some people had it running in 10.4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Since no one helped me out I will post the solution here. Took me about 5 minutes to figure it out after spending over a week on it. This pertains to using ATIScript.z0rz.v0.2 as a script to install Castillo and Koverg patches for your Radeon 9700 series (x300 mobility). I realized that when you create the script using ./builddoe.sh it takes only the first TWO digits of your Device ID and uses that for the patched Koverg drivers. That is why you do not get QE/CI. To fix this issue you have to enter it manually. So head over to /System/Library/Extensions and copy AtiRadeon9700.kext to your desktop. Once it is there edit the Info.plist file using "Show package contents". Once you do that you need to look for the first TWO digits of your device ID that were entered wrong from the script and just enter the rest of your device ID followed by 1002 for the vendor "ATI". Save info.plist and put the file back into your /System/Library/Extensions. After you do that remove Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache from your /System/Library, repair permissions and restart. Thats it. When you restart you should see QE/CI supported in System Profiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
