nintenno Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 ok so i have a ati 2600 pro. i cannot get it to work with the gfx strings method. Every time i try, i get this: (the red light is the camera flash, and the tint is off just to show what happens) any ideas on why this happens? this also happens when i try to boot without any NATIT (which i use); just OOTB so can anyone give me some help or a gfx strings crash course for this card (i dont understand why the packages i downloaded have a .hst and .bst either) Thanks in advance!!

dopyoman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 have you tried installing it without any video drivers and booting with -v -x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintenno Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 installing what? I removed natit, but that screen comes up every time I boot normally. When I boot with -x, I have no qe any ideas why? can someone give some help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopyoman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I cant really help you too much since I dont know how to work with mac yet, but it sounds like your just missing the proper drivers for your vid card. I know that when you boot with -x it boots without any gfx drivers so obviously no qe since there is no gfx acceleration. When I said, "Installing" I was referring to the OS . Before the instillation there is a customize option where you can select drivers etc. You might want to try installing a different ATI driver for your vid card. The only way i know how to properly install the gfx driver/kext is by reinstalling OSX and selecting the proper driver in the customize window. Sorry dude I dont know the fancy terminal codes to install kexts yet but im sure someone here does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintenno Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 ok, but I already have the proper drivers. I installed natit, but I am trying to get it working by way of efi/device strings. So if there was any information that anyone has about getting a radeon 2600 hd pro working with Efi strings, please share it with me. Thanks for your help anyway!
