Xenokira Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 ok ok ok, I ment wake me up when we get higher than 1024x768 on an X300 in a dell 9300 with a 1440x900 native screen(back to sleeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppp ....................... its odd that people with 1680x1050 screens get kicked back to 1440x900(at least to my understanding), but 1440x900 isn't supported by itself......and me, I just want 1280x800. Oh well, Beggers can't be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandfish Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I got my x800 XL AGP working w/ QE&CI perfectly! The only downside is that im running a 24" LCD.... anytime I try to get it to 1920x1200 res, it kicks it down to 1600x1200. Any chances of getting this to work? Thanks!

Niarlototep Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 X800GTO/Saphire (Device id 5d4f) not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonajona Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 It works for AGP cards as well. I have an X700 Pro AGP and it's working like how it's supposed to. The only problem is the mouse tracking thing they talked about here, and iPhoto. Everytime I play a slideshow on iPhoto it messes up the mouse fully - to the point where I can't even see the mouse. I would have to restart or reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpoppa Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I just purchased an ATI x1600 Pro thinking it would work without changing any files. Installed from the 10.4.4/10.4.5 patched DVD and no luck. I've read for hours but don't understand what I have to do to get QE support for this card. Please help point me in the right direction. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhkl Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I can confirm that Warcraft III (PowerPC) works flawlessly (well, haven't tried multiplayer yet).Yeah, I also have the same problem (BTW I also have an X800XL, but PCI-e). What's Beam Sync and how do you disable it? Edit: N/M I found it on another post. I also tried the Warcraft III demo and it works perfectly. Marble Blast - the PowerPC version that came with my Mac Mini - also works and doesn't leave a funny mouse cursor at the end. Viewing presentations in the PPC version of iWork '05 ends up f'ing up the mouse cursor. Once again, just some observations. But kudos to Koverg for making this possible!

jccool Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Can someone please explain to me why ati doesn't just make x86 drivers for there cards, afterall, ppl do use os x x86 legaly, m-audio came out with x86 drivers and now my fw 410 works great.

rav Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 X800GTO/Saphire (Device id 5d4f) not working. I have exactly the same card (same device ID) and it doesn't work for me either. So at least we can wallow in self pity together. A question though. Has anyone tried the same trick using ATIRadeonX1000.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualeviathan Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Can someone please explain to me why ati doesn't just make x86 drivers for there cards, afterall, ppl do use os x x86 legaly, m-audio came out with x86 drivers and now my fw 410 works great. They have no need to. 1. All the official x86 Macs out already come with perfectly working drivers. 2. None of the x86 Macs out (mini, iMac, Macbook Pro) can be upgraded with a new video card, thus theres no chance that you could replace the built-in video. This will change only when the Intel-based Powermac is introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0ReDump Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have exactly the same card (same device ID) and it doesn't work for me either. So at least we can wallow in self pity together. A question though. Has anyone tried the same trick using ATIRadeonX1000.kext? Same here tried different things but no luck...but it's fast for general use running 1280x1024 although slow in video (not accelerated) for my liking. Hopefully when thery release desktop model with desktop chip and wider choice of video cards, we might be lucky if they include support for x850XT (same chipset as x800gto) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guvenck Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I am reporting that the X700 Mobility in my HP Pavilion Notebook is WORKING. ATI Mobility Radeon x700 Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x5653 Core Image: Supported Quartz Extreme: Supported Openmark Benchmark Result (ATI Radeon X600 Pro OpenGL Engine): 11290 !!! For now, I can boot into 1024x768x32 only, however... I wish I could boot into 1280x800x32, as my screen is widescreen. And no, the "Graphics Mode"="1280x800x32" did not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesce Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 x1400 -- tried it tonight, but no luck. It completely scrambled the screen on boot. Rebooted in safe mode and put my original extensions back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylew Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 the kext is 10.4.4 did not u read my info? "instead it just freezes on the sping wheel" if u get this try reboot again. if freeze again then reboot again till it boot. after it boot everything will work. (eg CI & QE) sometime it takes 2 reboot and sometime it take 6. anyway try it. I rebooted 15 times and it never worked. I am running 10.4.5 with this kext file and an x850 PCI-e. Has anyone at all had success with this configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanutz Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Got my Radeon x800 pci-e 128meg working! Although OS X thinks it has 256 megs... Warcraft III runs like a freakin' champ! I just have a ton of mouse artifacts when I quit the game. Not a huge deal though. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercon Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 My Radeon x600 PCIe works like a charm, thanx koverg. By this time everything seems to work including wifi. My computer is an HP zd8000 laptop The only thing missing now is the freaking resolution. I want to set 1440x900x32 but no luck, stuck at 1024x768. My drivers are vesa 2. Honestly, will there ever b a solution 4 this issue....., is there a way to make it work. A lot of discussions about this issue is floating around in this forum. Is anybody close to resolve this.

tokra128 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, I think that until apple will not release a G computer with intel chipset, and ATI vill not release a driver for that computer... we are doomed ... At this point I have my x800gto with koverg patch working .... but ... no rezolution change, no tv-out and the most annoing bug the broken curson when I get out of games ! I think that the only solution is that a programer to start creating using reverse technology a driver.... otherwise we are stuck with vesa, like nvidia users !!!!

Cyman Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 It works for AGP cards as well. I have an X700 Pro AGP and it's working like how it's supposed to. The only problem is the mouse tracking thing they talked about here, and iPhoto. Everytime I play a slideshow on iPhoto it messes up the mouse fully - to the point where I can't even see the mouse. I would have to restart or reboot. Do you think it would also work with 1920x1200 resolution? I need confirmation that at least ONE AGP card does support widescreen resolutions as UWXGA. Shouldn't the X1600 Pro AGP support it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djvibe Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Can someone help me configure this? I've been tearing my hair out all day. I have an X800XL with device IS 0x554d. I go into terminal, type in sudo nano -w /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700.kext/Contents/Info.plist, and type in my password. Here's where I get confused: Do I have to do a CTRL + W to do a where is, and find and replace? I've done that to no avail. I've tried the hex editor posted in this thread but it won't let me save changes, I assume because I'm not root. I've tried the binmay program that comes with the koverg patch but can't seem to use it. I'm going nuts here! Can someone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djvibe Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks for the reply, but that's the problem. If I scroll down I don't see 0x5b60. I have to do a ctrl W. Also, when I hit ctrl O, do I have to hit enter afterwards to save? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
