hi - first thanks for this tutorial! :)

 

i did the full tutorial - but iam still struggling with some issues.

 

the system profiler shows me under pci-card a 5500 serie instead of my 5450. the atifb is always Uakari instead of my custom setting like hoolock.

 

i cant change my screen solution to full hd - is shows me 1600*1200 instead 19200*1200.

 

when boot -v aty_init card 68f9 was not posted.

 

 

what iam doing wrong?

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 !

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?

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

oh, lol, i kind of feeling fool, i could check for myself 2 month back to see if this card will work and was too lazy at that time, i bought a geforce 220GT for my system and now i have a 5450 sitting on my drawer collecting dust where it could work :wacko:

 

never mind, already made my mistake but thank you very much for this post!

Iatkos is not vanilla kernel,this topic only for mac os x retail(vanilla kernel),i tried with iatkos v7 and such error you can download kernel vanilla or try remove ati5000controler.kext and boot with -f -v

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

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

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=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] after you installed the update.

Can you send me the whole root/EXTRA folder and all the ATI Kexts present in your S/L/E folder please?

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?

Sorry For My English Badbiggrin.gif

My graphics card ati radeon hd 5450 working on snow leopard after installed 10.6.6.

 

And how do make them work

 

Only For Kernel Vanilla

 

Waring Backup Your Data

0.Download the all_in_one.rar

1.Install ATI Chameleon bootloader for Radeon HD5000

2.The ROM image under /Extra should be named <vendorid>_<deviceid>.rom(ATI 5450 is 1002_68f9.rom)

3.Install Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext to S/L/E (ATI5000Controller don’t need)

4.Edit com.apple.boot.plist

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>UseAtiROM</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>AtiFb</key>

<string>Hoolock</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>Your Resolutions </string>

 

ATI 5450 tested Fb working on Uakari,Vervet,Hoolock and other untested.Recommend Hoolock.

 

5.Install update 10.6.4 reboot and install graphic update 1.0 (if you get kernel panic after installed graphic update 1.0,try boot –x to safe mode and remove all ATIRadeonX3000.kext,I use hfs+ for windows to remove it )(the graphic update 1.0 only for 10.6.4)

6.Open OSX86Tool repair permissons.

7.Install Update 10.6.6 will add ATIRadeonX3000.kext,ATI5000Controller.kext

 

After reboot will it work,you need to do step by step,If you get any error tell me. :rolleyes:

link download

 

All_in_one.zip

http://supportdownload.apple.com/download....csUpdate1.0.dmg

 

ATI 5450 is 68f9

ATY_init.kext not support 5450 so it will display the 5500
