Uhh I don't have time to test this... but you can try following a guide for the hd 2400... The hd 3200 is just a stripped down 2400... but I'm not sure if it's been changed enough to make it no longer driver compatible.

 

So i guess I'm telling you to use the ATIx200 and not the ATIx300 and see if that'll work.

i also have a 3200hd, any one tested SenVa idea ?

 

is there any solution for the 3200hd ?

 

I've tried using these, without any success.

I'm running on:

- Asus 3A-HDMI (HD3200, SB700, 780G)

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.7Ghz

- 4GB memory

- Kalyway 10.5.2

 

I've also searched pretty much everywhere and haven't been able to find anything useful for the HD3200 on osx86 :D

It's an IGP that uses shared memory you wont get qe/ci on it

 

The HD 3200 uses shared memory, but also has 64 MB of dedicated side port memory. If having shared memory is a factor for not having QE/CI, pretty much every notebook shouldn't be running OSX.

 

Anyways, has anyone been working on this?

waiting... :D

 

no light at end of this tunnel as yet :(

 

it is surprising that ATI HD3200 card has such a large install base (almost all new HP laptops)

is supported in Linux but still nlo resolution for more 1 year+.

 

I think there will never be a driver for this card ever. ...

yes, it works very smooth in Ubuntu, should i give up ?!! I have been waiting more than 1 year :wallbash:

Constructively speaking, how does one develop a driver for this arch? Is it simply a ported BSD driver? What group / person has done a bit of driver coding for other ATI cards?

 

I too have this video card in my system and of course would do some leg work to help out the community on this.

EDIT:

To answer my own question it seems the majority of ATI support is from the Natit drivers? (correct me if I'm wrong) and that these drivers are reconstituted Mac drivers. So it looks like that for the ATI side b/c they don't have a unified driver scheme (like nVidia) each driver has to come from a real mac, which means if a mac doesn't come with this video card it won't happen.

has one tried this?

people have reported success on DV9000. let me know if it works.

 

 

Open Terminal from the Utilities Folder, then run this:

sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

the system ask for your password, then add it after the

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>

not working... but how should if no kext for the graphic card is loaded...

first a working kext is needed...

I did try this and it worked . I dont get full 1680 X1050 but I get 1400X 1050 instead. Which is acceptable.

 

I need to get Atheros 5007 & sound card working on 10.5.4 which is another big challenge.

My experiences with getting a better res is that it 'works' but it seems widescreen res' is not possible and it maxes out at 1400x1050 (I tried 1680x1050). Besides just editing boot.plist for a better res isn't exactly QE/CI.

 

Anyhoo, I popped into the RadeonHD irc chat to talk to the guys that make these ati drivers and while not conclusive they said 'probably not going to happen'. Since they are the ones that would make a hd3200 driver if anyone, it really does seem like this card will never see a proper driver. :C
