macindude Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm sorry if some of this has been covered, but the forum's search function returns an error for me. I have the following machine: Dell Optiplex GX270 Intel P4 3.0ghz HT 2 x 512MB Kingston PC3200 (Dual Channel) ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB AGP Mac OSX 10.5.1 (iATKOS v1.0ir2) I'm looking for a driver solution for my video card. It currently has no QE or CI support, and I can only use 1024x768x32 resolution. the card ID as displayed by the system profiler is 0x4e48 I feel like the standard radeon 9700 driver should work since the info.plist in the kext includes 0X4E481002. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoper Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've been down this road and still fiddling for the H*ll of it on my 2nd rig..... but the 9800 pro does use the 9700 kexts, the only problem is that circa tiger 10.4.4 , the kext's became PPC only. and would no longer work for intel based mac's... I've found that a handful have gotten QE/CI it to work, however it requires a bit of elbow grease and even then is a bit quirky... you'll need a handful of tiger kexts, 9A321 9700 ga bundle , callisto, koverg patch, and a bit of luck (there are a few other variants on methods, read the whole post, it covers alot of things people have tried... or you can invest in a new video card that's on the HCL (wiki seems down at the moment) here's a few links to start if you care to tackle it : ATIRadeon9700 Patch?, QE/CI wanted New AGPGart, AGP driver for all chipsets Callisto Archive [How-To] ATI Radon Mobility 9600 AGP with QE/CI on 10.4.8/10.4.10, Might very well work for other Radeon's too...
