I have a ThinkPad T60 and recently updated from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6. In the process I lost CI/QE hardware acceleration. I added the device ID to Info.plist as usual and cleared Extensions.mkext, but cannot get hardware CI/QE. Does anyone know what changed from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 that would cause this? I see the ATIRadeonX1000 driver is a newer version, but just the driver alone causing it doesn't seem to make sense, as I had CI/QE in 10.5.2 through 10.5.5. Everything that did work still works (no sleep or battery meter), but I cannot get the video working. I'd like to keep 10.5.6 because to me it feels a bit more responsive. Any help appreciated.

Did you directly added your card info into the newest updated ATIRadeonX1000.kext and ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin? :(

I didn't have to change ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin before. I compared the Info.plist for ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin from my working 10.5.5 image and it's identical except for the CFBundleVersion which is 5.3.0 for the 10.5.5 one and 5.3.6 for the 10.5.6 version. I started with Kalyway 10.5.2 and used the kaly 10.5.3 patch then used Apple updates for 10.5.4 thru 10.5.6 (adding EFIv9 and dsdt.aml along the way) Like I said it's bizarre that from versions 10.5.2 thru 10.5.5 all I had to do was add the 0x71491002 id to IOPCIMatch and boom, CI/QE worked. But under 10.5.6 that process doesn't work anymore. If I do a kextload -v on ATIRadeonX1000.kext I get:

extension ATIRadeonX1000.kext has potential problems:

Thanks for the idea, and I'd appreciate anything else you could recommend
