moseschrist Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 i don't know about restrictions... i opened that file on a hex editor and found some references to R200 GPUs... so i don't think that theres any reason why radeon 8500 users won't be able to load it up properly...

hanschien Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I just bought an ASUS Radeon x1600 Pro PCIe 512MB for $119 from Directron and gonna pick it up tomorrow!!!!! I'm currently running on GMA 950 @ 1680x1050 w/ full support, hopefully the x1600 will be the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 1680x1050 Does anybody have the "boris" method working at that resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBlac Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Does anybody have the "boris" method working at that resolution? I'll let you know after I install 10.4.5. Update: SUCCESS!!! 1680x1050 with QE + CI Notes: No DVI, works with VGA only, no mouse tearing, however when I run the flurry screen saver it is smooth and fast but there are two transparent lines of square boxes that scroll vertically through the image. I also experience the "family" hangups at startup. 10.4.5 also does not include support for my sigmatel audio, damn I need to add that, I was spoiled. Munky, are you getting it to work with DVI? I'm guessing nobody is? Thank you boris well done and munky for testing it with 10.4.5. I'll try the jas 10.4.6 upgrade in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNyc Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 I just tried latest Callisto b005, and even though my card shows up in system profiler correctly as Radeon X1600 PRO 512mb (AGP), my monitor is still detected as CRT which is wrong and then obviously if I use widescreen resolution it won't look right. I tried changing resolutions no success. Mad picture.. I removed Callisto* , and back on Boris method since its there done already. So far what I like about it is it detects my monitor LCD, and even shows the correct name in Display Modes > Color . But I still don't have qe/ci, I don't know why . I was told because I have mouse shadow ah well, at least I have Jas and omni with the same exact card as me, the best will come ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetman Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Did a little investigation here with the help of DaxTsurugi and his MacBook Pro. Comparing the kextstat on both machines I found that the same kexts are loaded related to ATINDRV.kext and ATIRadeonX1000.kext. (IONDRVSupport, IOGraphicsFamily, and IOPCIFamily). The one difference is that on my machine (hackintosh per se), ATINDRV.kext loads before ATIRadeonX1000.kext where as on his machine it is the other way around. Not really sure if that matters..... Anyways, the differences and why this method doesn't provide full support is quite apparent in comparing the output from ioreg.

Dan the Soundman Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Has anyone tested out a dual monitor setup with this solution? I see that it's working over vga and there are some issues with dvi. Does this mean that only one of the outputs of the card is working? What if a dvi->vga converter/dongle was used? Im holding out until I know that dual monitor is working until I upgrade from my gma900. Great news munky about getting the x1800 to work. Hopefully now we'll be able to get them working on 10.4.6.

Lucky you, I tried the same procedure with my X1900-card (with Myzar 10.4.4 + 10.4.5 update dvd) and all I get is a kernel crash refering to the RadeonX1000 driver.

I also have tried Chess and it workds great. Also tried out Celestia and workd greats as well. Also games such as Call of Duty, Civilization 3, Rise of Empires, all work great at maximum settings.
