StarTide Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a Dell Optiplex 755 that I have successfully gotten Leopard to install on (XxX version) with two lingering issues. Sound doesn't work yet, but I haven't spent much time figuring it out, but the big one is video support. Looking around I can't find any Kext's for a Radeon 4550. Does such an animal exist? If so, could someone provide a pointer for me? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163346-radeon-4550-any-kexts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarTide Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Guess I need to find another low profile card then. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163346-radeon-4550-any-kexts/#findComment-1165777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering where the support for the 4850 is? Because as far as I know there are no drivers for the 4850 at present.

Andy4life Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 hey guys, just wondering if there are any updates on kexts for the 4550, I just bought two of these cards and it's basically the only thing preventing me from giving snow leopard a go right now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163346-radeon-4550-any-kexts/#findComment-1233250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeux Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 hey guys, just wondering if there are any updates on kexts for the 4550, I just bought two of these cards and it's basically the only thing preventing me from giving snow leopard a go right now It's possible to run Snow Leopard/Leopard on the 4550 in full resolution in VESA mode, I do right now until I get my 4870x2 delivered. Just remove all ATI Radeon kexts from your system and boot with "Graphics Mode"="1600x1200x32" (or whatever your resolution is) and you're up and running. Not a great solution though obviously since you have no 2d/3d acceleration what soever.

iwcham1979 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 As far as Snow is concerned: Ati 4550 should work after a bit of hacking. Source: http://netkas.org/?p=284 But i want to know guys if there is a way to install Aitkos or iDeneb and get this card working?
