So I have a Sapphire HD 6770 that's almost fully working but I have no QE/CI. Here's what I've done so far:


I've added my device, vendor and subsys IDs to ATI.c in the latest Chameleon trunk (and told it to use Vervet as this seems to work the best) and compiled it and installed it.

Added GraphicsEnabler=Yes to boot.plist

I've added my device ID (0x68BA1002) to ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext. (Since the 6770 is a rebranded 5770 this makes sense. Adding it to the ATI6000 controller just locks up on boot.)

For good measure i've extracted my vbios in Windows with gpuz and put the rom file in /Extra and named it 1002_68ba.rom, adding UseAtiROM=Yes to boot.plist.

Now, sudo lspci -nnvd 0x1002: | grep -B2 Subsystem in terminal tells me:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper XT [AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series] [1002:68ba] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

	Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Unknown device [174b:aa58]

bdmesg tell me:

Framebuffer @0xD0000000  MMIO @0xFDDC0000  I/O Port @0x0000CE00 ROM Addr @0x00000000
ATI card POSTed, reading VBIOS from legacy space

ioreg | grep ATY tells me:

	| |   |	 +-o ATY,Vervet@0  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002c4, registered, matched, act$
	| |   |	 | +-o ATY_Vervet  <class ATIFramebuffer, id 0x1000002c8, registered, matched$

	| |   |	 | +-o ATY_Vervet  <class ATIFramebuffer, id 0x1000002eb, registered, matched$

And because of my ati.c edits my System Profiler looks like this: (can't take a screenshot for some reason so i pasted the text)

As you can see there's no slot, ROM version or EFI details in there (although in -v i see DE. QE/CI isn't working but everything else is fine on dual monitors.

And I get this from -v at the end of boot:

7/4/11 11:14:34 AM	kernel	** Device in slot: SLOT--1 **
7/4/11 11:14:34 AM	kernel	RadeonPCI::start

7/4/11 11:14:38 AM	kernel	buffer size: 262144, channels: 2, bit depth: 24, # samp. frames: 32768

So even though it says it's loading the Vervet framebuffer i'm not really seeing any effect because without the edits to ati.c it would load the generic framebuffer and everything works the same so I have no idea if Vervet is really being loaded at all. No other framebuffer will work either. I haven't gone through the whole range of buffers but Uakari leave me at a black screen (though i can tell it gets to desktop).

For what it's worth I'm running 10.6.8 on AMD with nawcom's legacy kernel. I'm considering returning this thing to Newegg and getting a better supported card but since this is a rebranded 5770 I would hope I could get this fully working. Does anyone have any real suggestions as to where I can go from here?

Easiest way to get a 6770 working is to use RBE and edit the device id in the vga bios to match the device id of a 5770.

Hi,

I've spent some hours yesterday finding a way to make my Saphire 6770 work with full 3D under lion.
Finally there is an easy way to do this.

1) Install the last Chimera
2) Download the Radeon Bios Editor here: http://www.techpowerup.com/rbe/
3) Read the flash with Radeon Bios Editor (also backup it)
4) Change the manufacturer id to ATI (0x1002)
5) Change the device id to Radeon HD5770
6) Flash the card
7) Reboot

That's it!

[Mauricio Zarate]

I have no succesfull install, I changed manofacturerid and device id to hd5770, also installed chimera with anval but it reboots before showing gray screen, what shoul'd i do now.

Ok so i modified mine, from asus 6770 to ati 5770. Tried it in windows first, got bsod, but that was a pagefile issue. Now im in windows ive installed the drivers again, and windwos has stopped the device code 43 on device manager. I also tried the ati 5770 drivers to no avail. Have you guys got it working on windows again once you modified them, or am i stuck with changing its bios everytime i switch between windows and os x?

[fantomas1]

at the beginning, I had the same problem with the drivers, but that was because I had chosen for Subvendor ID (ATI 1002). As soon as I

put the default Subvendor ID from my Sapphire HD 6770 (174B), I had no problem.  

But in two cases, my card worked fine in Lion.  

[rgray99c]

ok, so i modified the manufacture back, but kept it shoing as 5770, and lion boots, recognises it as 5700 series, but i cant change resolution from 800x600 :S there anymore steps i havent dont?

[fantomas1]

On Windows, put it the last catalyst driver (12.1 i think)and you'll find all your resolutions .

On Lion, your graphic card must be recognized OOB !

That's how i did !  

[ham4ever]

can this also work in ati 6650m ??
thanks for sharing

If this is a certain XFX 5770, it won't work w/ lion w/out flashing the bios

Blogs being lame
Finally, after months of pissing around, i got the nerve up and fixed this HD 5770 card for OSX.
All you do is flash it.
First of all, grab the right BIOS file
XFX.HD5770.1024.090926.bin
Then grab the flashing utility
DOS
Windows
Flash how ever you want, this isn't a tutorial on making a dos USB boot disk..
Then remove any AtiConfig you have in org.chamelon.Boot.plist, set GraphicsEnabler=YES
reboot.
DONE.

Hey guys. If I flash 6770 into 5770, in Windows it will be
