Using a sapphire HD6870 1GB once I've installed (i.e. remove ati6000controller then installed then re-added it) it will boot with chameleon and and graphicsenabler=no happily. Editing my org.chameleon.boot.plist to graphicsenabler=yes personality=duckweed and use atirom has no difference - the card works perfect with either. I've tested HDMI and DVIx2 but not DP

I dont think much difference between 6870 and 6850.I have done enough replacement so i will reinstall the ML GM again.

INtrestingly for anyone thats bothered I could also install using a hd5770 fine, then boot in to os x and fix permissions and swap the hd5770 for 6870

Hi Skreel,
I followed your guidelines and put personalities and many like duckweed,bulrush and more but no luck.I can boot in -v -f with GE=no all i have is low resolution with choppy graphics.The card is not even recognized i think.
All this on a display port.Let me know what you think .

It seems half of the problem has been solved and the card has been show on system info both in display and PCI card info and this happens only when i boot in safe mode - v -x -f.When i boot with -v -f i get Aty_init starting then it stuck.Any more ideas?I used Duckweed and 4 ports.

I recently heard no need of adding device id as with newer chameleon.Also is anything like ATIRadeonX3000 needed to run 6850 because i deleted 4 such kexts as it caused KP.

hello

i never read that

and if read the post, in ml no atiradeonx3000

now is amdradeonacelerator and is in p.list by familly of the card

good hack

have you tried with GraphicsEnabler=No
this makes a difference with a personal ati6kcontroller

With graphics enabler no = White screen
With graphics enabler yes stuck in Aty_init.kext starting.
I am going to reinstall as i have exchanged many kexts and still problem exist.
I will reinstall and place your kext and let see the results.
Thanks

With the help from other posts i used the DP3 ATI kext with GE=no and personality Duckweed and atiports =4 and its now working perfect.Many thanks for all you guys helped me especially skreel for sending me the patched kext.

I got my 6850 (MSI R6850 Cyclone) working:

I removed the device ID from the ATI6000Controller to run the installer (boot with -x and GraphicsEnabler=No). Before i only had a white screen.
After the installation i went back to Lion and added the device ID into the AMDRadeonAccelerator and ATI6000Controller kext in /S/L/E of my Mountain Lion volume.
