Dragunov Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have installed iATKOS S3 10.6.3 , and updated it upto 10.6.5, with everything working, except the graphics card being recognized properly and QE. The following are the specs: Core i5 540M ATI Radeon Mobility 530v 512MB The graphic card is being recognized as : ATI Radeon HD 4890 with 256MB VRAM Any way to make the SL recognize the card and enable QE/CI ? I have tried searching everywhere regarding this issue, i need to solve it in order to make iWork suite work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragunov Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ok, heres more info. The gfx card has a device id of 0x9555 , which actually is a ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4500 series chipset. The lists of kexts being loaded is: ATISupport.kext ATIFramebuffer.kext I still can't change the resolution, nor is QE/CI working yet. But am going through a lot of forums, for the correct kexts. I would be really grateful if any one can help me, or even point me in some direction. I tried the GraphicsEnabler=Yes bootflag, no use. Though in the System Profiler, my card is being detected as unknown, but with 512MB ram. Here is the paste: Unknown: Chipset Model: Unknown Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9555 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B7710C-176 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.318 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1366 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Display Connector: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palamosteliaro Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey Dragunov whats up? I am trying to install snow on 4520s. My configuration is: 2.53ghz i5 (460m) busratio=19 with the 530v I tried almost all available distros. I have succeeded only with retail installation (using latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with GraphicsEnabler=No arch=i386 busratio=19) and iatkos 10.6.3 However i can get the usb ports working. Its very annoying. I solved the problem with patching the dsdt but for some reason i cant do that anymore. I get error in dsdt patcher. Can you tell me what packages you select in iatkos installation? I think that if we get the 530v working 4520 will be a great macbook pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
