scotch12 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hi All, after installing OSX several times, trying out patches, fixes and so on ..... The best result i could get was: Audio working but only Stereo (edited kext) Network working (using skge.kext) Firewire working out of the box USB Working out of the box ICH8 Support Jmicron PATA and SATA working (edited kext) ATI X1950XTX 512MB , no dual screen, have to use DVI to VGA adapter, QE and CI supportet, resolution 1600x1024 (not native resolution, would be 1680x1050, but was not possible) This was already a good working mac, but not perfect enough for me, so i was thinking about to stop that project. Last try with a Nvidia (7900GS) card from a friend: Put in the card and made a new installation. Installed Natit for Nvidia and patched the other things (audio, nic ....) Result: DVI out is working, Dual Head only Mirror mode, power saving not working and my Monitors were recognized correctly !! Ok this is better than with the ATI Card, but to buy a new Nvidia Card just for a better working mac clone ? NO ! So, the test with the Nvidia Card was interesting but thats it, and i changed my ATI back into the machine. Bootet up in to OSX without to change somthing. And Voila, DVI was working and a the resolution was 1024x768 not changeable. Now, copied the natit_edited kext file into the Extensions folder, cleaned up the system and reboot. And to my large astonishment, everything is now perfect !!! Full Dual Head Support, DVI out for both LCD's, powersaving is working, QE and CI support !!! Juppiiiii !!! I am so Happy now !! Nearly a perfect mac clone !! mery christmas to all Marcus PS: see my screenshots !! screens.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse00 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thank you so much! Finally this card is up and running One question though... is there a way to control the fan speed? when i boot into osx, the fan seems to be at max speed, which is quite loud. also, i'm not so sure if it's good for the cards lifetime to keep running at max speed.

roger santos Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 it worked for me too but the noisy fan (at max speed) is a problem =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
