jagger27 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have a mostly working system with Leo4allv4.1 installed on my Dell E521. I have sound working and ethernet working. My video card (ATI Radeon X1600 Series, PCIe NOT PRO) however, isn't working. This is what the system profiler in Leopard says about it: Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x71c0 Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported I really hope that I can get QE/CI working. My monitor is 22" (1680x1050) and it really sucks at this low resolution. Do I need to get a new video card? I'm thinking GeForce 8800 GS or GT. Maybe a Radeon 2600HD, I don't know what video cards work the best. Fill me in!

jagger27 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's not really all that clear. I don't have some of the files that they're talking about so it doesn't really work.
