DrDevil Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi, I recently had to format my iAtkos v.4i and before reinstalling I had my x1950 Pro AGP work perfectly on the machine. after reinstalling I downloaded MTZeon's driver for 7280 and did everything by his instructions but it wont work. I got into safe mode (-x) and checked the system profiler for graphics... it identified my card and all of the stats are correct. any ideas? anyone? I had a successful install before reinstalling iAtkos v.4i so there has to be a way. please if anyone can - give specific instructions, step by step. sorry for any English mistakes, and thanks in advance for all replies.

vbetts Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 What's not working if it's identified everything correct? Are you getting QE/CI, res change?

DrDevil Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I get res change and I get everything but I can't get it to start - upon loading the screen would just turn skyblue and I can see the mouse but nothing else. while booting in safe mode (-x) I am able to see everything and the system profiler identifies it. I think I need an older driver (MTZeon) because my father managed to make it start once but not anymore, as for I reinstalled it. ~Thanks in advance.

aqua-mac Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Don't know if this will help, but with some nvidia cards that exibit this same problem, if you delete AppleHWSensor.kext, then they boot up OK.

aqua-mac Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Bumpy Knuckles, Shame that did not do it, but, if you boot with -v what info is given on your screen when your computer gets stuck?

aqua-mac Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 A couple of things to try - the other DVI output then the second PCIe slot (if you have one) and set bios to boot from that.

Bumpy Knuckles Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 i#ll try the second output, but its a agp card, so i can't try another port edit: second outputport doesn't work, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143298-x1950-pro-agp-cant-successfully-install-it-anyone/#findComment-1024817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDevil Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm here. umm erasing the nVidia kext didn't work for me so I will boot with -v and we'll see what happens. I will upload the pics as soon as I'll transfer them to my PC. ~Thanks again.

Bumpy Knuckles Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Now it's working, with only 256 mb ram and a bit mouse tearing i only deleted the natit.kext of my package and installed agpgart271 and used the second monitor output. the resolution i had to change by editing the bootlist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143298-x1950-pro-agp-cant-successfully-install-it-anyone/#findComment-1026109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpy Knuckles Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 i found another solution, install mtzeons pack and replace his natit with the one i postet at the big 1950 thread. no the graphic errors and tearing are gone Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143298-x1950-pro-agp-cant-successfully-install-it-anyone/#findComment-1030670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
