spvc500vn Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Leo90 very thanks for your guide to enable QE/CI for mobility 4570 on dell studio 1555. I have success on my laptop but still a little problem that the logo of apple on the top left change color to green not black. Do you have any ideas to fix it?

Muhammad Adnan Asim Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 After following your steps my audio and Ethernet was messed up. Now I just change kernel flags from -v to arch=i386 in com.apple.boot.plist file in EXTRA folder and now my audio and Ethernet controller is working perfect. I did not even install Chamelion bootloader RC5, I am still using MYHACK bootloader. Except my wireless now my mac is full functional. Cheers to you mate. I have waited one year to enable QE/CI for my video card. Cheers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treied update to 10.6.8 but i get grey screen and no spinning circle. If I use -x -v, system stop at PCI Configration. Any help plz..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilj Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I also updated to 10.6.8 but I don't think the drivers work for graphics with this release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjz Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Would this work on other laptops with a Mobility Radeon 4570? Namely the Sony Vaio NW11S? Only minor differences in specs, same graphics card though. Installed iDeneb a long time ago and had everything functioning but the Wireless (not gonna attempt that again) and QE/CI. Also, what install method should I use? Just vanilla 10.6.6? Not taking any risks haha. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie. Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I tried with these kernel extensions on my Studio 1555, but they don't get me anywhere. I can get native resolution, however no QE/CI. Could someone give me any suggestions on how to enable this? I'm at my wits end here. Regards, I forgot to include the other ATI Framebuffer kexts. Silly me. Anyone got a fix for the OpenGL problem?

hari.iiitb Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I am going to try this today! Thanks for giving me hope. EDIT: Got my Graphics card working in just 5 minutes. As I already had Mac OSX installed, I merely copy pasted three kexts into Kext helper and installed them. Then pasted boot under /. Then the two .plist files into Extra. Rebooted and that's it. Worked like charm with the translucent QE/CI. Installed Xcode and saved myself from buying a Macbook Air worth $1600 [i use Tata Docomo 3g for internet, so WiFi/Ethernet is not essential ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulcopy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I wonder if this trick works in Lion too! I have found a couple of ATI Mobil 4570 Pack in this Forum. But None of them give me a information about OSX Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostanime2001 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What is the "/" directory ? Do you mean the partition I have mac installed on ? My mac partition is called "mac" it's this gray hard disk looking thing on my desktop. I cannot paste my boot file. The error msg that came up said "The item "boot" can't be replaced because it's invisible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mac partition is called "mac" it's this gray hard disk looking thing on my desktop. I cannot paste my boot file. The error msg that came up said "The item "boot" can't be replaced because it's invisible" Yes it's the name of your partition(for me it's called Snow Leopard). It should already contain an existing boot file. http://cl.ly/101f143p2H0b2M0i3t2R You need to delete your existing boot file and then copy over the one from the archive, otherwise it will display the error that it's invisible.

ghostanime2001 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I could not even see the boot file in my partition. I ended up having to re-install and then I saw it lol. Also, 8)Open /Extra and paste com.apple.boot.plist and Smbios.plist that you find in the archive sounds a bit odd. What do you mean by saying this ? Copy com.apple.boot.plist and Smbios.plist from archive to /Extra folder ?please clarify your steps... a little clarification goes a long way.
