Tek_No Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Funny, there is hardly anything to find on this new (?) ATI gpu. Vendor and device id: 1002 9593 I have really been reading a lot (and I mean a LOT) about ATI drivers and Mac Os X (I'm running 10.5.6 at the moment) but still can't figure out if this gpu is supposed to be working with QE/CI and framebuffer (resolution changing) or not. Then I read on NetKas's site that Snow Leopard will have a new ATI framebuffer... So many questions: is there already a framebuffer and drivers that will get my gpu running? Will the new framebuffer in Snow Leopard give resolution change for my gpu? What kexts should I currently try for my gpu (what other gpu comes very close to mine???) ? Thanks for any reply Take care, Tek_No Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/150194-ati-mobility-firegl-v5725-as-in-hp-8730w/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
