Prasys - Nice work so far, thanks for the effort

I've been trying to work on this for a little bit - I've been familiarizing myself with IOKit et al for the past half month or so but I'm still nowhere near a working product. In the interim I created an installer to install and configure Callisto and AGPGart, but thats as far as I've gotten so far on helping people with 3d accel :/

That said, I'd be glad to test out anything or help any way I can.

I am a Mobile Radeon 7500 and would be happy to test anything you throw up.

It will be nice to unlock CI for Radeon Mobility 9000's in Mac's PPC (iMac, mac mini (ppc), ibook and PowerBook's).
Currently only QE/Rotation is allowed.

Everyone - thank you for your good work. I have a dell latitude d600 with radeon 9000, if anyone need info from the 9000 mobility card just ask me. I am not sure what i can do to help this process. Again thank you very much.

And how about X850 XTPE (AGP)?
Prasys, I hope your script can make any changes for that card!!!
Thanks!

does it works on ati mobility 9700 ? If so, do I have to delete my existing Callisto drivers before I try ?

[hokage-dono]

tried ... doesn't work ... what's wrong with this fu***** graphic card !!!!!! {censored} ...

osx isn't osx without 3D acceleration ...

[MikeBee]

hmmm just a quick bump for this thread. a driver for mobility 9000 would be ace

[swosh]

could not get my mobility 9700 accelerated either.

Could something be done about the ATI Radeon xPress 200 Series?

[captainsquash]

siddharth - Unfortunately the x200 is ridiculously far away from any supported graphics card, I've tried in vain to get QE/CI working on a friend's X200. You may want to try Katana installer to get OpenGL acceleration working, at this point in time I think it's as close as you're going to get.

You can get Katana here --> http://forum.insanel...o...=35345&st=0

But this page: http://www.intel.com...01GGC/index.htm
says that the Video - Integrated ATI* Radeon* X300 based graphics

[captainsquash]

That doesn't really matter unfortunately :/. It's not that the hardware is incapable of displaying the graphics (or that it is used by motherboards made by intel), it's just that OS X just doesn't fully support that card. It doesn't have any computers (or vendors offering a x200/x300 card) which use a comparable card so there's no reason to add x200/x300 functionality. OS X uses VESA (a low-level failsafe method to send understandable data to your graphics card (in essence)) if it can't find a compatible graphics card - which is what you're likely using now. For this reason, you may want to try using Katana to see if it will get you somewhere.

I took a look at the ATIRadeon8500.kext from Darwin 8.0.1 x86. This kext is Intel only. Not Universal or PPC.
