X1900GT Boot 132 10.5.5

I just got Boot132 up and running, all the updates went through so easily. However, I cannot get my graphics card to show more than 1280x1024 resolution. I have had this card running 100% in Kalyway upgraded to 10.5.4. I was using the Jcool installer and the ATI utility. Since I have switched over to Boot132 DFE/Chameleon. I cannot get this thing running. My card is an X1900GT (724b), any driver suggestions? I am at the point where I am starting to get tired of this card, and I see on this forum the 8800GT is highly supported and I am debating just buying one of those.

 

My setup

ASUS p5k-vm

E8500

4GB RAM

Sapphire X1900GT

 

 

Update I was able to get resolutions fixed with the jccool 1950xt software. However I am still miss QE.

Problem solved. In 10.5.5 you must use the X1950GT for the X1900GT cards. As well as modify the ATIX1000 kext file to include 724b. I then used EFI studio to add the card (X1900XT). It is all working again. I hope i do not have to go through this graphics card {censored} again. I am really thinking about just getting an 8800gt later this week. Thoughts?

Hi there,

 

I also got the 724b x1900GT card...i am on 10.5.5 and i got all resolutions etc but NO Quartz extreme.

I tryed every possible install package, the one from JCool 10.5.5(9f33) which comes with a couple of kext and opengl framework, i tryed the ATI_x1950_7288_Leo package but still the same, all resolutions are there but no Quartz and I tryed the Skull package....

 

I even used efi studio to put in the string and changed the device id to 724b...still nothing.

 

I think i installed too much now....what would be your CLEAN way to install everything for the x1900gt on a blank 10.5.5 chameleon v11 system, could you just give me the steps and the order waht to install or NOT to install that would be great.

 

Thanks! ;)
