Hi,

I just upgraded to 10.4.9 and upgraded the kernel to the latest release according to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=45283

I have a ATI FireGL V3100, it's a PCIe video card. It has dual outputs: a VGA one (which I'm using) and a DVI one. Here's what my system profiler says:

Display:

Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5b64
Revision ID: 0x0080
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

My question is:
How do I get the video card properly set up? I read about Natit but is that still fresh and relevant? It seems to not have been updated for a while.

Thanks guys.

Natit will work if it worked brfore..... it doesnt need updated only new versions come out for new cards. it gets QE/CI so it relly doesnt need to be.

so get natit it works with 10.4.9 but not sure about 10.4.10

I ended up installing Callisto and it works. However, it still says core image and quartz extreme are not supported. Any suggestions?

callisto does not enable QE/CI its very old and only enables resolution changing.... like i said there is a natit or titan for your card....get natit it will enable QE/CI. once you have QE/CI it doesnt matter if the driver is a little old. It works and OS X has controll of your card.


edit--- ok forget my last posts..... i have an idea that worked on my sisters laptop 2 miniuets ago so i think you should try it....firt i need your device id's

Device ID: 0x5b64

ok well your lucky its not complicated... my version of natit already has your card enabled..... it adds your device ID to ATIRadeon.kext already so ill upload the version of natit i have on hand and it should be good to go.

luckily you have 0x5b641002 FireGL 3100

Ok well did it work in other versions of OS X because my 10.4.8 already has the card working without natit.......

try getting the ATIRadeon9700.kext from 10.4.6 and 10.4.8 for the FireGl 3100 uses this kext


UPDATE: ok try this kext

here how

copy to system/library/extensions

then in terminal do this

sudo chown -R root:wheel System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700.kext
sudo chmod-R 755 System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700.kext
diskutil repairpermissions /

then reboot.

i don't see a kext link. and is there actually an easy way to install the natit driver manually? i tried the natit 1.0 installer and that crashed my system when it rebooted.

thanks
