ApolloRocket Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512 MB only working in save boot and no QE, Q2E working Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512 MB Driver Package needed Hey guyz, I am getting nuts with an issue regarding the installation of my Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512MB. The card is running on a ASUS P4C800ed with Intel P IV 3.00 GHz HT and I am using iPC Osx86 10.5.6 PPF5. I have tried installation of different driver packages I found in this forum, which are: - ATI Radeon HD 3800 pcie Series 10.5.6 -10.5.x I modified both ATIRadeonX2000.kext's and NATIT.kext's Info.Plist such that it contains the correct device ID for my card: 0x9515 - ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP - 10.5.x - 10.5.5 I modified only the NATIT.kext's Info.Plist such that it contains the correct device ID for my card: 0x9515 Furthermore I installed AGPGart.kext version 2.7.1 without any modification in its Info.Plist as I did not see any references to the device ID of the graphic card used. When booting into save mode (option -x), the card shows up in system profiler as I would expect it. It even shows that it is an AGP card: ATI Radeon HD 3850: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 3850 Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9515 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B1480A-236 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.236 Displays: B 101910: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected I can enable Quartz GL as well. However, as you can see Quartz extreme is not supported and Core image is on Software. When I try to boot normally, with or without AGPGart, I just get a black or blue screen depending on whether AGPGart is loaded or not. Not even the pointing device is popping up and I have the impression that the PC hangs up completely, as the keyboard's <schift> and <num lock> keys do not show any reaction anymore. I am suspecting, that the driver packages I am using are wrong, but I could not find any other packages which seemed to be worth a trial. As I have seen in this forum, there is plenty of people out there having a xxxxx Radeon HD3850 AGP with device ID = 0x9515, but no where I could find a clear reference to a working driver package for this card. Does anyone have experience and a procedure on how to get this graphic card working in normal boot up and with all the nice QGL, OpenGL, CI, QE, Q2E modes working? - I think this biest should be powerful enough to handle this I think getting this clarified would also enjoy all other users having the same card.... Thanks in advance and btw great www page with a lot of got stuff around osx86 I got all other stuff on my PC working, mostly thanx to all the information here... keep running Apollo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/175718-sapphire-radeon-hd-3850-agp-512-mb-only-working-in-save-boot-and-no-qe-q2e/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link for the AGP drivers (even though they did not work for you). I have only been able to find PCIe ones for the 3850. Also, how did you find out your device ID? Thanks so much.

GodOfSharing Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I got the same card to work via XXX_x86_10.5.6_Universal_Final_V.2 on an Asus P5PE-VM, DualCore Intel Pentium D, 3000 MHz, ACPI x64-based PC, Intel Springdale-G i865G, 2x1GB ram ddr 400, Sapphire 512MB AGP 3850. The installer GraphicDrivers option doesn't have an AGP selection for the 3850, it appears the selection if for the PCI-E version. I tried various drivers of related cards from the selections and so far only "ATIRadeoHD48x0" would work. But the card is limited like yours. From the System Profiler I get: Bus: PCI VRAM (Total) 256MB Vendor: Ati (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9515 Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded DISPLAY: (Only available) Resolution: 1024 X 768 Depth: 32-bit color Core Image: Softeware Quartz Extreme: Not Supported I used OSX86Tools to enable Quartz GL though the card doesn't show up as a device in hardware drivers. It appears as it should in "View PCI Device/Vendor ID". If anyone has a fix for this card on this OS and board please provide the driver or Kext and instructions on how to install it. I have Kext Helper b7, but have never used it. Thank you.
