OSX 10.4.5

Hi everyone,

After days and nights of trying I've made it. I have ASRock ConRoe865PE Motherboard with Intel Celeron 352 (3.2GHz, Sck775, 512K, 533MHz), and Manli ATIRadeon 9600SE. To make this work out I had to (maybe not) flash Radeon with ATI BIOS. In fact originaly this card ID is 0x4151. With flashing is changed to 0x4150 (I saw some users with this ID had success). After instalation for the first time I saw intro animation rolleyes.gif , and in profiler I've seen that CI & QE are suported thumbsup_anim.gif . Right away I have installed callisto driver 008 with this installer Click to view attachment. After installing i had to reboot. No difference, nothing changed unsure.gif . But then, with little change i Have done it. went in system/library/extensions, found CallistoHAL.kext, right click on it - choose Show Package Content, right click on directory named contents, choose get info and set premissions so I can change it. Then I opened it, and opened with text edit application file named info.plist. Here I've changed ID of my Graphic card this way:

I pasted whole script to make it easier. Originally ID in this script is 0x4153........... so I changed it to mine. Saved changes, and cosed all. Then I started Terminal (utilities).Please follow exact these script and you may not fail. After every text line pres ENTER, than go to next line. At the end type exit, then enter. Here' script:
Open the terminal (application>utilities>terminal>
type sudo -s and then press enter (enter your password, then press enter - zou won' see anything during typeing password)Click to view attachment
type chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/CallistoHAL.kext press enter
type chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/CallistoHAL.kext press enter
type rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
type rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext press enter
type exit press enter
Restart osx and (with F8) type -v press enter.
I hope you will see loading Callisto and supported resolution. If so, that's it.
this is my profiler:

Yes, I have some. The only problem is I can't do the same with 10.4.8 - Problem seems to be caused by IOPCIFamily.kext.
