FilipeTS Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have and ATI Radeon HD3650 PCIe graphic card. It has 512MB of DDR2 memory and works in 128bit. It's a very good and not expensive graphic card but people are having issues with it while using Mac OS X Leopard. I could find two working drivers. One enables QE and CI but don't show resolutions higher than EDID allows. The other one, developed by Netkas (netkas.org) shows a lot of resolutions, like 2048x1280 while my monitor's EDID tells that 1680x1050 should be the limit. I prefer to use higher resolutions and bypass/ignore EDID information. The problem is that Netkas driver don't support or don't enable QE and CI. What should be great: merge the two drivers or add QE/CI to Netkas driver (I prefer). This driver is developed by Netkas. It shows a lot of high resolutions, bypassing EDID information. It's great because higher resolutions allow us to work with a lot of stuff at same time. But QE/CI don't work and everybody needs these features working. HD3650_NO_QE_CI.zip This driver enables QE/CI but don't support higher resolutions than EDID limit. This low resolution thing is a big limitation. Would be great to have QE/CI and 2048x1280/32bit/60Hz or higher resolutions together. HD3650_QE_CI_LOWRES.zip The question is: can someone delevop a driver based on Netkas nice work but enabling Quartz Extreme and all the other cool stuff that this graphic card supports and a good Leopard PC should have? I'll make my donation and I'm sure that many people will do the same.

Boombeng Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 You can try : 1 Install QE CI Low Res pkg 2 Delete Natit.kext, ATINDRV.kext and ATIRNDRV.kext from Syst*/Lib*/Extensions 3 Extract Natit.kext, ATINDRV.kext and ATIRNDRV.kext from NO QE pkg with Pacifist and instal the 3 kexts with kextehelper 4 Repair permissions and reboot Hope it will work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162111-challenge-ati-radeon-hd3650-with-qe-ci-and-higher-resolutions-than-edid-limit/#findComment-1133390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
