adityaxavier Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi All, I've got Lenovo Laptop T60p with ATI FireGL V5250 (71D4) Graphic Card. Installed Snow Leopard around a week back and got almost everything working (find the list below). One Strange thing that i am facing is that the usual mod (ATIRadeonX1000.kext) ie, changing DE71 to D471 is able to bring QE/CI ( found that cause the menu bar is now transparent and other visual effects are enabled) but resolution is stuck at 1400x1050 even after using Graphics Mode in the com.apple.Boot.plist. I tried injecting EFI string but its no good either.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And thanks for all the support Insanelymac!! Airport ( Atheros 5212) working out of the box. Bluetooth (Broadcom ) working out of the box. PS2 Keyboard/Mouse (Installed VoodooPS2) DVD-Drive - not working due to improper IOATAfamily.kext Ethernet ( Intel 82573L ) working out of the box. USB 2.0 working out of the box. Graphic Card (ATI Radeon FireGL V5250 (M56 GL) - 71D4x1002) partially working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adityaxavier Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Guys ! any clue about this issue...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InferiorYeast Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Remove/rename ati1600controller.kext, atiframebuffer.kext, atisupport.kext, and iondrvsupport.kext. Copy your working atindrv.kext, atirndrv.kext, and iondrvsupport.kext from leopard to snow leopard. That's what worked for me with an x1600 mobility. Yours is closer to an x1700 i think? It should work pretty much the same i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adityaxavier Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes it is closer to X1700 ... Anyway I tried doing just as you said.. but strangely when GUI starts i can see a blank screen with weird colors spreading.. Any other Clues on what to do? or can you give me your kext's i would change the model no and try again.. PS : I never used X1600.kext and changing RadeonX1000.kext to match it like changing 71c5 on both ... Would do that and report back.. Thanks a lot for the response though..

With EFI strings or Atinject was capable to have 1024x768 only Working 95%, i have CI/QE but w/ monitor mirroring some strange colored "psychedelic" artifacts on internal monitor. But still looking for a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
