Dont know if ATI HD3650 will work on Hackintosh..
As I can see 3800 series works..
But haven't seen 3600 series works on it.

Is there any tutorial or solutions that will make HD3650 works?

Thanks!!

No one knows?

Using Natit 3870x2 complete pkg and works at changing the resolution

if u have some .. u would go to irc and ask me for some special x2000.kext, but since u haven't, enjoy ur no qe/ci

Ah so is that why I get just a blue screen?!?! I added Natit.kext, did the chown/chmod, deleted Extensions.mkext, and repaired permissions. Rebooted to a blue screen and no cursor. Running a Sapphire 3650. So I just need this special x2000.kext to get rid of the blue screen or is that another issue I need to solve first? This is on 10.5.2 with the Graphics Update.

this is another issue

Hi Netkas,

I am new in OSX86.
I do want to fix the qe/ci. Will the kext from Triakis works. Or I need a special x2000.kext from you?

I have ASUS HD3650. Natit pkg for 3800 is working. just install it and restart it. thx

I'm wondering if I had an old package at first that caused the problem. I got the latest 9.2.0 kernel and the latest 3800 complete package off irc last night. I have a fresh 10.5.2 install on an external drive that I will try it on later today. Hopefully that will do it and I'll just redo it all on my internal drive. Keeping my fingers crossed!

But screenshot shows QE/CI not supported/Software Mode.

Well I've switched to the mach_kernel off the irc channel and installed the latest 3870 package. Still boots up to a blue screen. When I boot off my external drive, what files do I need to remove/replace to remove the package. Is there any other info I can provide that may point to why I get this blank blue screen?

Oh, my Device ID is 9598.

Apparently I missed the Natit.kext the first time. I removed it and got back in. Here's some more info. I added my device id to ATIRadeonX2000's Info.plist and got the same result. This is with 10.5.2 with the Graphics Update. However, if I load it onto a 10.5.2 install without the update I get a blank white screen.

My situation is same as you, but using a new pkg from irc yesterday.

My test results are as follows:
3870x2, 10.5.2, and graphics update can change resolution w/o qe/ci (X2000.kext not manually loaded).
3870x2, 10.5.2, graphics update, and added device id to X2000.kext (X2000.kext manually loaded); black garbled screen with white squares and freeze after logo.
3870x2, new pkg, 10.5.2, graphics update, X2000.kext loaded manually; blue screen and freeze after logo.

I hv provided some info to Netkas yesterday in irc. If I hv time today, I will provide more info to Netkas to study on it.

Glad to know it is not some problem with just my card. Hopefully Netkas will be able to track down the issue. Right now I'm reinstalling 10.5.1 as I cannot get either of my two 10.5.2 installs back up without a blank screen.

gt3gt3 with latest setup (with 3650 pkg and without ATIRadeonX2000GA.bundle) make benchmark tests in glview and post here sshot of  results window.

Netkas, just tried 1 hr ago (before go to work).
I got black screen and no response, even waiting for half an hr.
I also choosed not to test in full screen mode, I received white screen. Can see the menu bar, but the cursor keeps spinning.

Updated the Glview database, same result.

Any thing I can do or any info I can provide for my 3650? I'm thinking of just ordering a Sapphire 3870. With that I should just be able to install the latest package, new Natit.kext and the white menus fix correct? It seems the package works best with the 3850/3870. Although if I can provide any info or do any testing to help get the 3650 up, I'll try.

looks like opengl engine of 2600 will not work with ur 3650

If that the case, I ve to stay with using current kext.
Without QE/CI will it affects the performance of photo editing?

Well I'm not waiting for another Leopard Graphics Update from apple for an updated engine. Ordered a 3870. The 3650 will go in my Gentoo box I guess. Hopefully it will arrive Friday!

Netkas, I can run the test now; but without QE/CI. Bellows are what I did:

1. Re-install 10.5.1
2. Upg to 10.5.2
3. Graphics Update
4. Install Natit.kext dated 26 Feb and reboot. I haven't install 3870x2 and the 3650 pkg
5. Run the glview test

What next, I shold do?

No luck here with the 3870 I just got. Under 10.5.2 w/ the graphics update I just got the blue screen again. Under 10.5.2 without the graphics update I get a white screen. It is a Power color 3870 with dev id 9501. It is already in ATIRadeonX2000. I guess I'll send them both back and try and Nvidia card. Ugh.

Congrats on getting your 3870 to work, Aikidoka.

Any news on the HD3650? I saw a comment on netkas' blog that someone managed to get it working, but sadly no details. I'm beginning to fear only another graphics update from Apple is gonna help.

I also want to know that. Tried many times can't get QE/CI working.

Tried the suggestion in the 3850/3870 thread suggested by firstcolle and wait for 10 minutes (with dev id in x2000.kext), I got blue screen with cursor moveable; but without the menu bar and icons.

accroding to ur pics, u have software renderings , not a hardware, that's why glview works.

i also tried the 2/26 netkas.kext and solid blue screen, but i believe that with enough people trying this out, we might get it going. Cmon guys, lets keeping testing, Netkas, any suggestions?

there is no support for opengl on 3650 in macosx drivers
so only framebuffer (res change) for u. with latest natit and 10.5.2 with graphics update.

ok, but is there any way to hack or sort to get that engine to work with us or is our only hope a new apple update. in case you need a guinea pig, im it!

Dangit lol . I just ordered new parts for a desktop setup becouse my inspiron 9300 seems to do everything fine but crash in wow every 5-15 min with 10.5.2
I just so happen to get the 3650 graphics card for the build. I thought i had done all the research on most compatible parts. I just assumed the 3650 would work as the 3870's and the 2600's do. Oh well i'll wait. I'll test any new stuff if needed. Newegg should have everything here this week.

this is driving me crazy. i tried, kalyway 10.5.1, kalyway update 10.5.2, kernel update, graphics update then one time the 3870x2pkg and another time the lone natit.kext of 2/26 but on both i am getting solid blue screen. advice anyone?

owners of 3650, meet me in irc, we can make it work

which irc? irc.osx86.hu???

yes, #radeonhd

works http://netkas.org/?p=61 !

I sold out my HD3650 and bought a 2600XT two weeks ago

How is the heat on it? Does it run full tilt?

Also does the 3450 work? Does it have heat issues?

i dont know how to use irc...
can anyone tell tht can irc get the hd3650 driver?

I just checked and I didn't see the 3650 package posted yet. I'm anxious to test mine even though I have a 3870 running.

Do you know when there will be a HD3650 package or driver availible?

The HD 3650 kexts are available now on irc.

Unfortunately, I'm still without CI/QE. I've tried installing 3870x2 pkg, then installing the 3650 kexts but I just get a blue screen on reboot. Also tried just installing the latest natit and the 3650 kexts but no go. Tried both dvi ports. Haven't tried dvi2vga yet.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: DVI2VGA isn't working either.

I have a 3650 and getting the blue screen with the new 3650 drivers from irc as well.

This is on either DVI port or using a DVI to VGA adapter.

I installed Kalyway 10.5.2 with no graphics drivers, installed the new drivers (both kext and bundles) via kexthelper.
Was that the wrong way to install them?

I do the same thing and I have a blue screen too.

My card's dev id is 9598, too, but still no luck and a quick check of the wiki shows no one has had success with them yet.

Guess this is why it took a month after 10.5.3 to drop to devs before these kexts were released. I don't think anyone ever expected or fully tested them to work.

I've install Leo4all 3, then i tried to work on the 3650 but no luck.
With or without the Apple graphic update, and with 3650 kexts +- natit.
Only 3650 kexts: fuzzy, colored dots all over the screen. If i boot with -x no fuzzy screen but no CI/QE
3650 kexts with latest natit: Blu screen (right after that, when i reboot in Vista, Catalyst Control Center shows high temperature - 70°C - it's passive cooled)
So, it's a failure this far

Lol, it's called busy and lazy, wait for 10.5.3 to get 3650 working fine.

I'm not expecting 10.5.3 to be out any soon.
Meanwhile, i can go with the X1950XT but the HD 3650 has better hardware decoders for HD videos, has HDMI video output audio capable, is less power-hungry, so it's perfect in an HTPC. Since i don't play 3d games, i can't wait to get the 3650 fully supported

Netkas, could you please tell us the exact brand / name / code of the card you showed working here ?
I'd really like to sell my 3650 and get that specific card if there is a 3650 already supported by now.

3650 pkg is up in #RadeonHD with DVI/VGA working

Thanks a lot!
It's working for me with HIS RadeonHD 3650 IceQ.

glad to hear it works
