Don't change/replace any kexts, ATi 4890 should work with GraphicsEnabler.
If it doesn't work, look in ATI4800Controller.kext and check if the ID of your card is in the info.plist.

i managed to open the controller kext but i can not see anything inside ? i opened it usin terminal any ideas ? thanks for replying

[Gringo Vermelho]

Don't do that, just right-click -> show contents in the Finder. Kernel extensions are just like folders but with a different icon.

[buoo]

• Go to System/Library/Extensions
• Click on ATI6000Controller.kext, then Show Packages Contents
• double click on Contents folder, then open Info.plist

my g card id is 0x9460 i can see a line that starts with <string> listed is 0x94601002 and there is 4 others listed but diff numbers ?

<key>IOName</key>
<string>ATI4800Controller</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x94401002 0x944a1002 0x94601002</string> add your device here
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>65000</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
<key>aty_config</key>

Hi thanks for your reply how do i edit the kext and save it ? thanks can i just add the line you have highlighted in red 0x94601002 is already in the kext ? my device id is 0x9460 do i just add that in the string ?

[buoo]

4 different numbers? Do you mean the vendor ID?

listen to me:

Right ID = Device ID + Vendor ID


i.e. Follow this way:  > About this Mac > More info > System Report > Graphics/Display

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

In this case you have to add 67381002 in info.plist

The kext is perfect!
If you don't get 3D acceleration, try adding GraphicsEnabler=Yes in org.chameleon.boot.plist in your Extra folder.

[undadogz]

mate i can't even boot up its stuck on the apple logo i am running in safe mode at the min have you any ideas i stupidly installed the kexts i uploaded on this post over my lion kexts without backing them up it was booting up before i did that I'm just hoping i can undo it perhaps ?

[JamesLittler]

Type GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v at the chameleon boot prompt, this is before you would see any sort of apple logo


EDIT

Hold on, are you using a real mac?

[undadogz]
