1)Install Snow Leopard 10.6.6. and during installation select in the graphic section driver "Aty_init"
2)Install Chamelion bootloader RC5
3)Boot the fresh installation of your Snow
4)Under /System/Library/Extensions delete Atiframebuffer.kext and Ati4600controller.kext
5)Install Atiframebuffer.kext and Ati4600controller.kext that I have posted below
6)Repair permissions
7)Go to / and delete the "boot" file. Replace it with the "boot" in the archive
8)Open /Extra and paste com.apple.boot.plist and Smbios.plist that you find in the archive
9)Reboot
10)Enjoy

If you upgrade to 10.6.7. you have to boot in safe mode (-x)  and reinstall Ati4600controller.kext and Atiframebuffer.kext and Aty_init, repair permission and reboot

To have speedstep and graphic power management you have to patch your DSDT ( I used DSDTpatchergui) and inject it with Chamelion. Than delete NullCpupowermanagement.kext and Disabler.kext

How does patching DSDT look like, especially for dell studio 1555?

Thanks!

Hi Leo90 very thanks for your guide to enable QE/CI for mobility 4570 on dell studio 1555. I have success on my laptop but still a little problem that the logo of apple on the top left change color to green not black. Do you have any ideas to fix it? Thanks

leo90, thanks for your method, but i was able to get Full Resolution but QE/CI is not enabled. Im using Dell 1555 as well and used Hazard 10.6.6i..... am i missing something here?

[Muhammad Adnan Asim]

After following your steps my audio and Ethernet was messed up. Now I just change kernel flags from -v to arch=i386 in com.apple.boot.plist file in EXTRA folder and now my audio and Ethernet controller is working perfect. I did not even install Chamelion bootloader RC5, I am still using MYHACK bootloader. Except my wireless now my mac is full functional.

Cheers to you mate. I have waited one year to enable QE/CI for my video card.

Cheers again.

Would these kext works in 10.6.8 update? Has anyone tried update to 10.6.8?

I treied update to 10.6.8 but i get grey screen and no spinning circle. If I use -x -v, system stop at PCI Configration.

Any help plz.....

[Gilj]

I also updated to 10.6.8 but I don't think the drivers work for graphics with this release.

[Benjz]

Would this work on other laptops with a Mobility Radeon 4570? Namely the Sony Vaio NW11S? Only minor differences in specs, same graphics card though.
Installed iDeneb a long time ago and had everything functioning but the Wireless (not gonna attempt that again) and QE/CI.
Also, what install method should I use? Just vanilla 10.6.6? Not taking any risks haha.
Thanks!

[Westie.]

I tried with these kernel extensions on my Studio 1555, but they don't get me anywhere.

I can get native resolution, however no QE/CI.

Could someone give me any suggestions on how to enable this? I'm at my wits end here.

Regards,

I forgot to include the other ATI Framebuffer kexts.

Silly me.

Anyone got a fix for the OpenGL problem?

[hari.iiitb]

I am going to try this today! Thanks for giving me hope.

EDIT: Got my Graphics card working in just 5 minutes. As I already had Mac OSX installed, I merely copy pasted three kexts into Kext helper and installed them. Then pasted boot under /. Then the two .plist files into Extra. Rebooted and that's it. Worked like charm with the translucent QE/CI. Installed Xcode and saved myself from buying a Macbook Air worth $1600 [I use Tata Docomo 3g for internet, so WiFi/Ethernet is not essential ]

[Hamkrik]

But this solution works in LION Mac OS ?

[soulcopy]

I wonder if this trick works in Lion  too!

I have found  a couple of ATI Mobil 4570 Pack in this Forum.

But  None of them give me a  information about OSX Lion.

[Pr8ik]

I currently have lion 10.7 dp4 installed on my studio 1555 with no qe & ci . And I don't have any hope of getting it done, so I want to ask if I install 10.6.6 as per this guide with working qe & ci , and then upgrade it to lion .....will I still have qe & ci activated on my dell studio 1555.😨😨😨

[restafora]

is that working on 10.7.2??

[JamerTheProgrammer]

For me when I install it on my VAIO NW11s it just displays a grey screen. I did not update or anything. Help?

[ghostanime2001]

What is the "/" directory ? Do you mean the partition I have mac installed on ? My mac partition is called "mac" it's this gray hard disk looking thing on my desktop. I cannot paste my boot file. The error msg that came up said "The item "boot" can't be replaced because it's invisible"

Yes it's the name of your partition(for me it's called Snow Leopard). It should already contain an existing boot file.

You need to delete your existing boot file and then copy over the one from the archive, otherwise it will display the error that it's invisible.
