JaS Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 If you get a black screen try using the vga port. You can install this Chameleon also if you dont already have RC4 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Does it matter if the card has HDMI or not ? I ask because i read that ATI 48xx cards with DVI+HDMI insted of Dual DVI only make much more problems to get working . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaS Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Does it matter if the card has HDMI or not ?I ask because i read that ATI 48xx cards with DVI+HDMI insted of Dual DVI only make much more problems to get working . Thanks There are other solutions for the 48xx series, i.e you dvi to the display then attach a DVI2VGA dongle to the second port. If you only have DVI + HDMI try the dvi to the display and then a HDMI2DVI Dongle, this advice comes from netkas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revjb Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Great post. Thank you, I was going crazy with getting my card working right. This did the trick. I am going to write a short guide on my install and will link to your article (and give you kudos). Much appreciated! *plus, confirmed QE/CI working!!! Woohoo! One question though, when you get a black screen due to problems with the kext, what can you do? restarting with the -x flag could not get to boot.

stooovie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Exact opposite here. DVI works (via DVI2VGA dongle), VGA works too, but only mirrors the DVI image. So, I have dual display, but mirrored. Havent tried HDMI yet because I dont have cables and reductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouchigo Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have been trying for a couple of weeks now to get my Sapphire Radeon HD4650 to work, but I've been having quite a bit of trouble. I now have it working through DVI, but I need to use a DVI to VGA adapter, otherwise I just get a black screen. I have quite of few resolutions to choose from, instead of the stock VESA 1024x768. Is there any way to know if QE/CI is working, since it does not say whether it is activated or not is system profiler. Has anybody managed to get this card working through the DVI output without the need of an DVI to VGA adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Force Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Is there any news about the HD4650 with 10.6.3? So, I've been busy getting my Radeon HD 4650 512MB (Club3D) to work in 10.6.3 and I think it works fine now. First off, I'm using PC EFI 10.5 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, I don't think my card works with PC EFI 10.6. I am also using a VGA monitor, I don't know if DVI works. Added my device ID (0x94981002) to ATIRadeonX2000.kext from 10.6.3, replaced the following 10.6.3 kexts with those from 10.6.2: - ATI4600Controller.kext (already had my device ID) - ATIFramebuffer.kext - ATISupport.kext Ran pfix and rebooted. Res Change/QE/CI works, played UT2004 for a while and I had no problems with that. Maybe this can help someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
