Hello,

 

I have a laptop with an integrated Graphic Card ATI Xpress 200M.

 

I succeed with the 10.6.8 install. Display is working without kext, with a bad resolution (1024x768) and no QE acceleration.

 

My native resolution is 1280x800.

 

My laptop is a Toshiba L30-105(PS33).

 

1002:5a62 ATI RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]

 

Is there a solution ? A kext ? A work around (force my native resolution) ?

 

Any ideas ?

I found a kext Callisto Kext "Callisto_b003fixed" and "koverg-patch9700-v0.2". With It now I can work in native screnn resolution but no hardware acceleration QE / CI.

 

And I follow the html file tutorial in the zip attached to install Callisto kexts :

 

- Modify device Id

  1. vi CallistoHAL.kext/Contents/Info.plist
     
  2. Replace my own PCI device ID with yours under the IOPCIMatch key (5a62 is mine...)

- Clean up display settings

We might need to clean up some of the display settings files, so proceed with the following inside the terminal window:


    • sudo rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.window*
       
       
    • rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.window*
       
       
    • rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.pref*

- Apply koverg-patch9700-v0.2, run sudo ./patch9700.sh

 

- Launch Kext utility, and reboot
