PLEASE HELP . please. :)

 

1) From a clean installation of any 10.5.6 version install this: http://tinyurl.com/9xbf3a

 

2) Open EFIStudio (if you don't have, download it) and press "Device Path" icon, write "display" into the first textbox and press "Get Path" button, press "To Clipboard" button, close window

 

3) Still inside EFIStudio select ATI HD2400 (should be selected as its the first of the list), press "Add Device" the Editor appears

 

4) In the editor replace /plist/dict/key node value (default value is PciRoot(0x0.......) with the one you have in the clipboard (just select old value and paste it over); if the two strings match, skip this step

 

5) Still inside the editor replace every "Iago" string occurrence (you could find other kind of framebuffers like "Lamna") with "Megalodon" string and every "IagoParent" string with "MegalodonParent" string

 

6) Still inside the editor press "write to com.apple.boot.plist" button to insert the EFI string in the system

 

7) Delete from /System/Library/Extensions Natit.kext

 

8) Change ATIRadeonX2000.kext to include HD 2400 XT Prod.ID and Ven.ID ( 0x94c11002 ): put ATIRadeonX2000.kext on the Desktop, then delete it from /System/Library/Extensions; click with right button on ATIRadeonX2000.kext and choose show package content, double click on Contents an open info.plist with text editor; find the string with IOPCIMATCH, next string contains the id of the videocards, put here your device id (0x94c11002) and save, then install this modified kext with kexthelper.

 

9) Reboot with -v -f

 

CI/QE should now be enabled

 

This method works only with 10.5.6

For QE/CI you need to add your device ID 0x94c11002 in ATIRadeonX2000.kext's Info.plist

 

This step only DON'T WORKS.

 

Is mandatory use Megalodon framebuffer, not the default Iago framebuffer.
