funnypanks Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 hi i've installed the natit and pciex1000 pkgs on jas's dvd and my x1800gto (1002:710a) only works sometimes. by that i mean, sometimes it turns on and works really well. but othertimes right at startup it boots up and flashes vertical alternating black and white lines for a second and then stops at a black screen. what can i do to make it stop flashing the black and white lines and have it always boot into tiger thanks in advance. and if this is one of those questions that have been answered a 100 times then tell me so i can search harder, but so far i haven't found a solution since the times when it does boot qe/cl and resolutions all work. then other times randomly just lines then black screen. -v -f have no effect, since even with those the likelyhood of it working is still completely random. methods tried boris manual boris 3.5 manually changing it to alopias boris 3.6 natit natitauto natitedited natitx1800 v2 boris with 10.4.5 kexts boris with 10.4.6 kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macintox Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 bump For Tiger, the best kexts for X1800/X1600 series are from an installer made by Diabolik. Worked for me with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Worked for me too, use Diabolik's NatitX1800.kext and edit /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext/Contents/Info.plist with your card details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnypanks Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 thanks for the reply but i did use that installer and i did add my id into the kext. still its a crapshoot weither it boots to black screen or to osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try removing the kexts and use only framebuffer for fewer hours to certify your system is stabile. Do some restarts too. And please, always post complete info of your system (mainboard, chipset, osx version, display type, etc) and not only the device you think is problematic. This can help a lot another members to figure out what is happening... TIP: Put your system specs into your signature, like I did. cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviant0ne Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I had that same card on an older AMD hackint0sh, and it never gave me any problems. I installed my card manually using the Boris method, so that might be something you could try. The Boris method can be found here. If I were you, I would delete any Natit, etc. kexts you installed, and start from scratch. Keep in mind it might not be the video card, but rather your MoBo chipset, etc...

funnypanks Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 ok so it seems its the closest so far. installed the 10.4.5 atix1000 set and then made all changes and put in the 10.4.5 opengl framework. now i just get a black screen with the mouse cursor(which i can move around) but nothing happens after. i will be searching the boris post, but its taking a while since its 70 pages. if anyone can help, please do.

funnypanks Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 sorry can someone help me out? i looked around and didn't find anything. the one thing i can think of is maybe i need other frameworks aside from opengl. which other ones should i use? or what should i change?

PPZ Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 First of all, WHICH card do you have (ID?) My X1800GTO worked in Tiger with Natit Installer v 3.6.In Leopard worked with NatitX1800.kext... But my device id was 7102 if I am not mistaken.....(Sapphire X1800GTO) Maybe it would help if you flash your card with bios from some other in order to change ID?

PPZ Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 So try to flash it with other firmware.It will change card's ID and hopefully fix your problem.Strange thing is my Sapphire card have same ID as yours... http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.p...E&memSize=0 From what I see just GeCube BIOS is changing device id, all other are the same.Be carefull about which memory you have on the card, as I see it is for Samsung memories...
