Hello,

I've installed 10.4.5 and even set it up to dual-boot. I'm still pretty much a newbie to OS X86, but I'm fairly famliar with the Mac - so basic applications and other commands are fine with me. I even pretty much understand the terminal commands, however I cannot for the life of me enable QE or CI. My graphics card is AGP and contains a TV Tuner (I know this will never work) but its TV Out is somehow supported if I use 1024x768 resolution. System profiler says this:

 

Display:

 

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller

Bus: PCI

VRAM (Total): 64 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x4966

Revision ID: 0x0001

Displays:

Display:

Resolution: 1024 x 768

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Not Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

 

 

So, since it says Not Supported am I out of luck? I've modified the ATIRadeon9700 and verified that it loaded, but then again I've had the ATIRadeon8500 loaded before. They're both loaded now, not sure if that is a major problem or not. I'd really like it to work as I would enjoy using iMovie and iDVD. OS X runs flawlessly other than this issue, even the DVD burner works without me doing anything at all. Let me know what I need to do in order to get QE and CI working. I'm pretty sure QE should work, but definitely not expecting CI.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried uninstalling/removing the 8*00 kexts, patching ATIRadeon9700.kext and then also adding my id to both 9700 and Radeon kexts. I then removed the extensions cache and repaired permissions. I've tried all possible combinations of the above and all left me unable to boot (hangs at white screen with grey apple/spinny wheel). So I used the -x to safe boot and then repaired everything to the way it was before, so now I use the 8*00 kext and everything seems to work.

So...to sum it up, I still do not have QE, but I do have a working installation. Anyone else have any bright ideas? I appreciate the help, just didn't work for me.

Thanks again.
