Just installed ideneb 1.4. Am in Safe mode. 2900xt radeon driver not working.

 

Just installed iDeneb 10.5.6. My system's Everest Home Editions report can be seen below:

When I tried loading it normally it came up with a fuzzy blue screen. So I am currently in my Leopard install in safe mode ( -x ).

Ethernet works fine but both my Audio and Video doesn't work. Whether the audio is not working because I am in Safe mode I am not sure yet as I need to get the Video working to enter normal mode and see what happens.

 

I have a PCI-e ATI Radeon 2900xt graphics card and can't seem to find any guides on setting it up other then a few mentions that Netka has been able to get it working?

 

When I setup iDeneb after trying just selecting 2900 driver and running into the same problem I attempted an install again and selected all the ATI video drivers along with all the audio drivers (a similar technique although not recommended worked when I first setup Kalyways about a year ago) in the hope that the install would just select and use the relevant one. Didn't seem to help.

 

So I would appreciate your help in trying to help me get this up and running.

Just found and downloaded Netka's ATI Radeon HD 2900 pci-e install package and ran it. It required a restart which I did. Unfortunately it didn't seem to help at all and had the same glitchy small squares moving across the screen when trying to load Normal mode. Now when I load into safe mode ( -x ) I have this error coming up:

 

"System extension cannot be used.

 

The system extension "/system/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext/Contents/Plugins/ATY_Franklin.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update."

 

I have tried reinstalling the package 2 times. Made no difference.

 

Help?
