Just tried in Firefox and it worked too.

I had hoped that this would also work with my X1650 PCIe-card.
But it doesn't. With DVI i get a black screen on Output1 and a white screen on Output2. With VGA i get white stripes resp. red stripes.

But thanks very much for giving me another little chance, and the others a full supported video card

Can someone tell me if this will work on a sapphire x1650pro 512 mb 8x agp?
I found a pretty good price for that card in a local shop, and I would like to upgrade from my 9800 pro.

Hi folks,

i have now had the time to check where the problem lies. graphics board or motherboard. It's the motherboard. The board i checked back with is i915p-based (my mums pc).

That means: modbin's installer works like a charm with the PCIe-Version of the X1650Pro Card (in my case manufactured by MSI).

The problem seems to lie in the VIA-based mainboard...

You can renamen the thread to x1650agp/pcie.

Will now have to find the problem with the VIA-chipset PCIe!?

Or could it be the TFT-Screen? (I connected it with the same DVI-to-VGA-connector that i used on the other pc with it's CRT).

Edit: I took the working CRT-monitor over to my desk and hooked it up to my pc (see signature). Ran the x1650-installer. Rebooted and it worked. Then i took away the CRT and put on the TFT (with the running system) and it recognized the monitor-resolutions (a lot less than the CRT offers). Perfect.
Then i rebootet with the TFT-monitor connected. Back to my picture with only colourful stripes. Seems that my monitor is not appreciated on start...
Tried already another TFT-monitor. Didn't help it.

Sorry for spamming the thread more or less. But i'm hunting the solution. Seems to be out of reach for me. Perhaps somebody else will find my results helpful (for not having to find out everything by himself).

Anyone have tested this with an x1600pcie? you believe that could work? I´m tired of messing around with mi x1600

i downloaded the installer, and after loading it is freezing the window, im getting the spinning beach ball, i am having to transer the file from windows in vmware by mounting my windows drive, and dragging it on to the desktop, i have tried running the installer in vmware and native and had no luck. any ideas?

Hi,
Is it supposed to work with a PCIE Shapphire ATI RADEON X1650 XT ?
I tried it but it didn't work: black screen after first reboot

Has anyone succeded with a X1650 XT ?

Thanks,

Seb

ATI SAPPHIRE pciE X1650PRO after installation BLACK SCREEN. Solution? Work this is driver for PCIe?? Please solution

I want to try the driver again after I make a restore image disk of my OS X, I think I try the driver b 4 and my OSX would not load just showing the Apple logo and spining away for ever!!!

Works on my HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB DDR2 AGP card, DVI & VGA output enabled, CI, Q2E, QE etc. all working, only thing it may be worth mentioning is it thinks it only has 256 MB memory!

Cheers for all your work!
~mac.nub

I have a ATI 256 MB 1950 pro it doesn't work mine is PCIE!!!

@mac.nub

are you really sure, that you get the x1950pro working?? i am very intrested in your "about your mac" screenshoot with qe an ci enabled.
what´s the device id??

greetings dbasta

blank screen here also. i get the apple sign then the monitor shuts off.any ideea how to fix this ? gigabyte ati x1650 pro pciexpress here.thanks a lot

This driver works / installer works ok with my ATI Sapphire x1650 XT PRO 256MB AGP.
Installation is smooth but it'd only work through the VGA (no DVI).

Has anybody been successful with a DVI connection?

Thanks.

before I got the video card (X1650 PCI-E) i checked if there is a driver for it. it seems that those drives wont work at all. thanks for that. and good bye to osx on this system

Just to clarify, I think mac.nub has a X1650Pro not a X1950Pro. See his previous post:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry343707

As for X1950Pro support, I'm still waiting for some type of driver that supports this card. NATIT and JJCOOL's method didnt work at all for me.

THANKS MAN!

OSX 10.4.8 with JaS Update to 10.4.9

Graphics: ASUS X1650 Pro PCI-Express with 1 VGA and 1 DVI

After Installation of the patch: QE / Resolution / Rotation works fine
DVI only with adapter. Dual screen not available, both screens show the same :-(

Hi,

I tryed out the modbin installer on my PCIe Saphire 1650 Pro (0x71C6) and it worked, after I uninstalled the natit_uni installer. The System Profiler says QE/CI + Rotation works, but sadly after some time these squars (I guess you call them artefacts) appear all across the screen.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

Thanks in advance EISBEIN

Hiya

ive got a AGP 1650 pro (0x71c6) and im running 10.4.7

Once i install the driver i cant get CI/QE running, they both show as not supported, also i only get output from the dvi connector, the vga just turns off my monitor.
any thoughts?

Please help me.

I have a GeCube ATi X1650 Pro 256MB PCIe (0x71C1). I haven't found a working method till now, can someone help me?

i also have gecube x1650 pcie(cx71c7).i just hexedit atiradeonx1000.kext and now i got qe/cl but canot change resolution only 1024x768.and sometimes there is mouse artifact(have'nt tried dvitovga adapter only use dvi) and dont have solution yet

Please can you point out the correct way to edit this kext, i'm almost sure i'm messing up the permissions...

What I do, is to drag n drop the ATiRadeonX1000.kext to the desktop, edit the .plist file, and replace 0x71C01002 with my 0x71C11002. Then I drag n drop my edited .plist file, back to System/Library Extensions and it asks me to Authenticate and Replace ATiRadeonX1000.kext. So I do that, then I repair drive permissions, and on reboot I get a Kernel Panic.

you can use hexedit or any hexeditor to edit atiradeonx1000 binary.i searches the closest number in reserved order.(in my case 71c6,so i search c6 71 and replace it with c7 71;maybe u can search 71c0 jst try it) and ofcousre you must edit all x1000 kext info plist to macth your id.
after that what i do is run terminal and type
sudo -s
(type ur password)
chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions
chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions
diskutil repairpermissions /
reboot
and when you do kextstat in terminal you should have atixradeonx1000 loaded and have qe/ci enabled.i think it slow but at least i can run dvdplayer and iwork06.i use jas 10.4.8 hope it helps

Hey, thanks a lot for this. I will try it ASAP.



EDIT: Ok, I followed your steps and I wasn't succesful, here's what happened:

I installed 10.4.9 uphuck's DVD, then I downloaded and installed modbin's release for 10.4.9.
I hex edited ATiRadeonX1000 binary and replaced the only C6 71 occurence with C1 71. Saved the file.
Edited .plist file from ATiRadeonX1000.kext where I replaced 0x71C61002 with 0x71C11002.
Next .plist I edited is from ATiRadeonX1000GA.kext or .bundle (don't remember the extension), and changed 2 occurences of 71C6 to 71C1.

That's all the steps I took for editing.

Then in terminal, I sudo, chown etc. no problems here...
Do I delete the kextcache? I tried both methods, deleting and not.
Both on reboot give me Kernel Panic.

This means that I didn't succeed in taking your final step, which was to "kextstat" in terminal.

I would appreciate a feedback, thank you.

maybe u shoul edit 71c0.the 1st time i try to edit 71c0 to match my id,i get kernel panic too.so i said the closest number with yours.when i tried 71c6 it works.just trial and error.(if you search 71c6 you get 2 occurence,71c0 only 1 occurence.but i edit only 1st place and it still work.the second place i edit make no differnece still work too)
