Nickh Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I've installed 10.4.5 on my IBM R50p laptop. At first boot, I went into the terminal and removed all ATI video drivers (/System/Library/Extensions/ATI*). Now my laptop boots fine, but of course it doesn't detect the video card, which is a ATI FireGL T2 with 128MB RAM. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to install some sort of a driver for this videocard? Here's some hardware info: Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4e54 Revision ID: 0x0080 Regards, Nick Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13253-getting-ati-firegl-t2-to-work-in-ibm-r50p-laptop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumi Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I have an T41p with the same graphics hardware (also the same Device and Revision) and it works fine for me, even the 1400x1050 resolution works fine if I use the Mousepose-Tool.

Nickh Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Wolfgang, Can you please check if you have Quartz Extreme and Core Image support with your setup. My laptop works fine with OSX, but I would like to enable hardware acceleration and for this I need a driver.

··· Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Also, I'm seeking instruction for firegl 9000 which come with t40p thinkpads. When I edit com.apple.Boot.plist and add 1400x1050x32 after a reboot, only the mouse cursor is displayed correctly, the remaining is drawed like if it was out of sync on an oldschool CRT display (ie: display 100hz on 60hz crt), anyone know what the issue is?
