I will soon go ahead trying to install Boo5 one more time.

But first i want to know if i need to edit the hex. I find my Ghraphichs card in the both list. Dev id: 3050.Card model x600 mobility.

Phoenix says"
The following information was relocated from post #96.

If you're interested on whether or not your Device ID is already contained inside of the Info.plist file or in the file you need to HexEdit already, here's a list, with an (approximate) graphics card equivalent. If your card's Device ID matches the first list, you probably don't need to mess with ATIRadeon9700.kext; if it matches the second, I would not touch it at all."

I understand this like that i don't need to edit the kexts. Correct me if iam wrong. Thank you

Unfortunately I cannot play games yet.  Trying Monster pinball (from demonoid).  Graphics are not working.  Getting copies of the screen and they are all crap and purple.  Will search around - but any tips would be really helpful

@radan: I did have to do the hex edit and plist text edit.  But my card (or device ID) was not in the list

ok so I have been playing around with this and have a bit of a problem, I can get Callisto to work fine, resolution change, its the 9700 driver that is not working, I have tried it with Callisto installed and now I am just trying without Callisto. Every time I boot with the patched 9700 driver I get a black screen with my mouse pointer sitting there and thats it. The computer continues to boot from what I can gather from the HDD activity. I then have to reboot into safemode and change the 9700 driver back.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong. I have done everything just as the front page says. I have even tried the script thats in another post here. I also have tried 9700 driver from 10.4.4, 10.4.5 and 10.4.8, all do the same.

Hello all, I have ATI Mobility X700 (Device ID: 5652) and Asus M6Va laptop.

My steps:
1. Replacing ATI*.kexts, AppleIntegratedFramebuffer.kext, IONDRVSupport.kext and OpenGL.framework from original 10.4.5 Intel Update.
2. Koverg patch 0.2 (QE, CI working)
3.  Koverg - Callisto - Framebuffer All-in-one

Quote

sudo ./builddoe.sh 56 52
sudo ./doe.sh cal5 0x0x0 1 1  #Callisto 5/no resolution into com.boot.apple.plist/Patched Koverg driver/CallistoFB on

4. Repair ATIRadeon9700.kext (because the second script add only 0x56 instead of 0x56521002)

After restart I have full QE/CI support and I can set 1280x800 resoution, but the screen is flickering

I think it is error with display frequency. Could somebody please help me? Many thanks and sorry for my English.

[Lukeage]

Thanks soooo much.

I've tried other methods (like you had) and have finally got my x300 mobility working. Got cursor issues, but I haven't tired to resolve them yet.

Thanks again!

[daviduco]

I have a GTO2 device ID=5d4f, it is not listed in the first post and i've succesfully installed Koverg patch for full CI/QE.

The only thing i miss is Callisto... i have installed version 008 but the system crashes.

Where can i get older vers?

Hello Community,

first of all: Thanks for the great HowTo. It helped to get my Jas 10.4.8 to recognize my x800!
second: sorry if someone gets hurt by my bad english!

Well, i still have one problem that bothers me a bit. As i said my x800 (ID: 4a49) is running, i can change resolution and refresh rate but i just cant get QE/CI running
I followed the whole HowTo but i have no clue what else i could do to solve it.

Maybe someone here can help me?! Thanks in advance!

Greetings from germany!

Hi all,

This is a really helpful thread and seems to me my only chance. Thanks.

I'm using JaS 10.4.8 AMD Intel ISO with both the PPF patches.
I have a nForce 4 chipset with AMD processor with an ATI 800XL card.

Okay so my problem. I have a 800XL with a device ID the same as your s (554d). So I saw this guide and thought 'you beauty'.

I follow the steps to install Callisto (I dont need to change the IOPCIMatch because I have the same device ID). I run all the terminal commands and reboot. Nothing happens. My resolutions stays the same. I tried editing the com.apple.Boot.plist but that doesn't do anything either. So I enter "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" into the Darwin prompt on startup and that works (but I have to type it each time I boot, and performance seems slow). Anyway I continue...

Part 2 I don't need to change anything as CallistoFB was already there. When I go to Hex edit ATIRadeon9700.kext I can't find the string so hence I can't replace anything. The string to replace in Info.plist with TextEdit is not there (I added it onto the end myself anyway). I ran the terminal commands.

Nothing changes, no QE or CI. The only change was the one I made with the "Graphics Mode" command at the Darwin boot prompt). Any idea on this. I have the same card and device ID's as this guide, I would have thought I'd have it easy.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Rick.

P.S. Just in case it matters, I can't seem to get past the apple logo on startup unless I leave my JaS disk in, hit F8 when prompted and then enter 'rd=disk0s1 -v". That seems to be the only way I can get OSX to start. I wouldn't think this would effect anything done in this guide.

@ Daviduco as the Callisto website is down, you can get older versions here http://ftp.max-systeme.com/

@ phoenix3200 you may want to update the original post with this URL as it took some digging to find it.

hi all,

i just wanted to ask how i can extract the atiradeon9700.kext from a 10.4.4 dmg image i have. i've installed the jas 10.4.8 amd/intel, but based on the entries on this thread it seems that i'll need the 10.4.3-10.4.5 kext to enable graphics acceleration. for my radeon x700. any suggestions?

lots of thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm still new to the hackintosh scene and I can't get my x800 gto 256 mb working.
I tried all the steps you tell us and yes, there is a change.
I can now change my resolutions but if I do so, my screen turns black and I have to reinstall my MacOS.

I really would like to get my gfx card running. Isn't there someone out there who can help me?
It's really appreciated. Tia.

[etheric]

can somone please post or pm me a link to Callisto's drivers I need 003 or 005. I tried the one linked on the forums (in italian) 003 and 006 but  they didn't work for my m300. And starchaser.org is no longer up.

Thanks..

one last thing, i get the following error when using the version of the driver i have on 10.4.8. I have tried Callisto's 003 and 006 and the koverg's v2 patch.

Done.

Disclaimer:  If Starchaser comes back up, I would recommend downloading it from there instead of from Max-systeme.  Omni quit working on the project because of people hosting it/linking it from sites other than his, and I do not want him to think I am trying to undermine his work by posting an alternate address.

I have been out of the OSX86 scene for quite some time (I had a boot error and decided it was time to kill OS X), and as such, I can't directly help if you run into problems.

[Xeijin]

Just so everyone knows, the callisto drivers can be found on omni's new site:

http://omni.110mb.com/callisto/

I'm getting a hang at the application login window started point, after doing part 1 (Callisto) any ideas?

Any updates on how to remove Mouse Tearing? I see that this guide was written in 2006, has there been any progress on removing mouse tearing since this guide was first written? I haven't researched this problem much, but I just wondering if anybody had a quick solution to this problem.

You need to make sure that the resolution/refresh rate you are trying to use is supported by your monitor.
