kseelbo Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 First off, please don't start flaming me for asking for help. I have read pages of posts for days looking for the answer. SO, my problem is that I have a giga-byte x1600 pro installed (256mb/PCI-E), edited the plist with the correct ID, repaired permissions, rebooted, and the kext loads. However, I have no QE or CI support. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and figured it out. I am thinking that there is another .kext that needs edited somewhere to "Turn on" QE and CI. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14825-x1600-pci-e-kext-loaded-no-qe-or-ci/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboss Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Have you tried the koverg patch? Also, what version of OS X are you running? 10.4.3 -> 10.4.x should give you x1600 compatibility but maybe your video card bios is the issue which is why you are not getting QE/CI.

kseelbo Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi, my understanding is that the Koverg patch is for x800 and older ATI cards, not the x1000 series. Also, I am running 10.4.5 natively. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14825-x1600-pci-e-kext-loaded-no-qe-or-ci/#findComment-95121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasthonda450r Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 how do you repair permissions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14825-x1600-pci-e-kext-loaded-no-qe-or-ci/#findComment-95189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kseelbo Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I use the terminal to repair permissions. I seem to have better results than with using disk utility.

kseelbo Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I finally got it working. After numerous attempts to make it work (and reinstalls!) I managed to get QE and CI supported. I edited my X1600.kext and added my device id, then edited the X1600GA.plugin with my device ID. Rebooted and still no QE or CI (but the kext did load). Deleted all ATI files from the extensions folder except the X1000 specific ones and the ATINDRV file. Repair permissions, reboot, and viola! QE and CI are supported! Unfortunately, I am now getting mouse artifacts, but otherwise I'm a happy camper. One thing of interest is that 10.4.5 and 10.4.6 have an extra ATI folder in extensions that 10.4.4 does not have.

kseelbo Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I think it has to do with your card being an "XT". Apple has 3 device ID's listed in the kext, so maybe yours is one already in there.

johnw Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hi Merak, Can you post the X1600.kext here ? Thanks MODERATOR EDIT: No, he can't. X1600.kext is copyrighted Apple materials, and posting it here could get us shut down.

Swad Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 borisbadenov's fix was so potentially important that I gave it its own thread (in the Drivers forum). Go here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=17767 Great work!
