You are using a hackintosh so the efi rom will do absolutely nothing for you - you do NOT need or want it!

Hi, have been reading thru your posts relating to the ati 5000/6000 cards with interest.

Have an Acer

7741g - core i3 350m - ati 5470m 512mb and native res 1600x900

Cannot get the ati card recognised in lion.

I think I need to sort 3 things to fix this -

1.edid ( have compiled this and it loads correctly)

2.bootloader ( have tried chimera but dont think it helps)

3.senseid for my 7741g ( not sure how to get bios)

Do you think I'm on the right track

Also You uploaded a boot file for this card on a previous page in this thread.How do I use that?

Any input would be a help,Thanks.

I installed the Lion 10.7.3 on my system.Everything works great except my  Video Card.I have xfx 6850 zcfc but it did not work properly.
Lion did not recognize xfx.I get only 1024* resolution on my Samsung 32" hdtv.I use dvi port to connect.

I have already read the Alex's article about xfx 6850s.But i am a new user on mac systems so i am not as pro. as you.
When i am using mobo's onboard graphics everythings work perfect.

And i go to system report>display> i see two graphics option; one is my xfx (Atı amd 6850)
  other is    intel hd 3000  
So lion see my xfx 6850 but dont allow to use it.

What can i do ? Any solutions about my problem.   

I only reach to desktop -x GraphicsEnabler=No  thats all.
when trying -v i get Slot-1 error


I used #### Method for Installation

(Sorry about my english)

I'm posting to let you know that I uploaded 2 kext files for Ati HD 6790.  These files work only on Mountain Lion.
Also I added instructions so if something is not working for you, you can edit these kexts manually.

I try to install ML and after the first boot i got only white screen, no matter what i do.
So i try i different way. Thats what i do:

- create a USB installation for ML
- start with the USB and Install ML with "GraphicsEnabler=No"
- restart again from usb and first start with "GraphicsEnabler=No" from the harddisk where i installed ML
- Updated Mountain Lion (No kext or bootloader or other installed) only updated ML
- restart always from usb and start again with "GraphicsEnabler=No" from the harddisk

the sistem start only with GraphicsEnabler=No and all i got is a 1024x768 resolution
and only 3mb on video card!!!!

ATI (0x1002)

does it supports the AMD 6320 Radeon on Mountain Lion?

To chuck a little gasoline on the fire....

The recent Mac 7950 comes with a driver disk.

Has 10.7.5 and 10.8.2 drivers.

The 10.7.5 drivers allowed 6950 to boot up perfectly in my Mac Pro.

What this means for Hacks I do not know.

If someone wants to come by and grab the driver disk and host it, I am in LA in Hollywood near Runyon Canyon.

I have not tested the 10.8.2 drivers but I do know that official 10.8.3 drivers give KP with my 6950.
