Jerry_MK2 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi! I followed your guide step by step, but I still can't make my Asus EAH5450 working on Snow Leopard. At point #3 you wrote: 3.Install Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext(ATI5000Controller don’t need) WHERE EXACTLY must I install Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext? In root/EXTRA or in S/L/EXTENSIONS? Is your 1002_68f9.rom valid for my ASUS and other brands? Or must I extract my own rom (in windows 7)? Hope you can help me.

Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext : u can using kext helper to install these file OR just copy these file to S/L/extentions, and then run kext utility to apply. kext helper and kext utility you can download at kexts.com 1002_68f9.rom: is correct your graphic card now, no need to change file name, just copy to extra dear white paper: thanks for your guide, my computer is ok now, thanks a lot !

bas123 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hello, I have problems with booting after installing the graphics update. It boot to the grey apple screen with that rotating circle. I let it do for 30 minutes but it stays at that screen. I have also removed the atiradeonx3000.kext under windows but that didn't help. I have a dell inspiron with a core i5 and the ati radeon hd 5450. Under windows i use the drivers for the desktop version. So will it work under mac os x to?

knoma Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 the 1002_68f9.rom sems not to work with my spahhire 5450. it makes no difference if i put the files in the extra folder. the profiler shows me always 5500 serie instead of the 5450 and not the right screen solution. also i cant change the solution. @bas: you must boot -v to see the log. maybe you have kernel-crash. it is important to deleteatixradeon3000.kext and the ati5000.kext otherwise you cant boot. my solution was to install a secend version of mac osx to delete the files. but the graphic card dont work properbly greeting from germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohsnapzitsjeff Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I was able to get everything working, but after I updated to 10.6.6, I get the endless loading screen or a kernel panic at the apple logo.

rubenmr Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well i got some news. I do this: - install retail with empire efi - install chameleon rc5 & chocolate kernel & atiata kext - update to 10.6.6 & install usb kexts - install all your files (rom, hd500, kexts... update boot.plist) After this, i boot and i got a kernel panic: "Unable to find driver for this platform ACPI" Only can i load OSX with Empire EFI CD. If i boot with this, i can load it, and my ATI HD5450 works perfectly with QE/CI. What can i do??? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleorderbride Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Anyone using this with Kabyl's boot and the AtiConfig key? (and maybe a ROM?) it seems unnecessary to use the modified framebuffer and ATI init anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry_MK2 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Maybe I made one step forward, but still no acceleration for this card. After installing mac os x 10.6.4 update, my ASUS EAH5450 was working but without acceleration. Only 1 resolution, the one I inserted in com.apple.Boot.plist. No resolution change possible. After installing mac os x 10.6.6 update, I got black screen before entering the desktop, even using UseAtiROM option with 1002_68f9.rom in EXTRA folder. So, I replaced the ati drivers in S/L/E with the drivers downloaded from this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=224063 and now no more black screen. I can see my desktop. My card is working exactly like before 10.6.6 update. But acceleration and resolution change are still not working. I also added device id in Ati5000controller.kext, but still no acceleration and resolution change. What else must I do for having acceleration and resolution change? p.s. during boot in verbose mode (-v), I noticed that at some point it says: not loaded kext com.apple.Ati5000controller.kext - file not found................ but that file is present in S/L/E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bas123 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I did it. My screen resolution is good and i can choose other resolutions. I think also that it has QE/CI because there are a lot more visual effects and front row works. I am so happy. I just followed literally the steps. To boot after the 10.6.6 update, you have to install usbrollback from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after you installed the update.

Jerry_MK2 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I followed again the guide step by step. After installed mac os x 10.6.6 update and (without rebooting) installed IOUSBRollback, after reboot I have black screen just before entering the desktop. I think it's not a kernel panic, because I can hear the hard disk continue loading. How can I fix the black screen problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
