tha_toadman Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 guess i'll give that a try then. thanks! i'll be back with results if it doesn't work (i'm not doubting the installer though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha_toadman Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 u should try installers.dl.am ! well i did..2x... 1st attempt: updated to 10.4.7 (since it said those drivers would work) and then installed - rebooted and got a garbled dots but could still see what was on-screen. a few seconds after booting, it'd lock the machine up but it was in the native resolution for the monitor (1600x1200). 2nd attempt: just tried JaS 10.4.6 only - still the same result as above 3rd attempt: tried to NOT apply '10.4.6 update' from JaS's DVD (hoping that 10.4.5 would be waiting for me) but it wouldn't boot ...continuing to reinstall again. after typing this, i stumbled across this post here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfindlay1 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi!Again: my name is NeoPheus! And no, no one needs to replace the device id in the installer! Just install it, reboot and it has to work... If not, then there is a problem with your system! The installer works correctly on a normal system! That's not necessarily true Neo, I don't have a "weird" system by any means. I built my system around certified HLC parts. I did my research and went out to buy an X1600 card, with your installer already downloaded. I installed, rebooted, and - yeah, QE / CI, resolutions, they all worked! No ripple effect in Dashboard and WEIRD colours in Quicktime videos. Final Cut Pro's video windows looked all garbled and couldn't be used. I was all depressed, thinking I'd have to return my X1600 and just wait for the MacVidia drivers, UNTIL- I said to myself "self, why not just try to manually install the Boris method." I did, and now all the above mentioned errors are gone away. I get the ripple effect, FCP works like a dream, and Quicktime can play all day. To anyone else having trouble after using NEO's installer, just do it manually and see if it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 To anyone else having trouble after using NEO's installer, just do it manually and see if it makes a difference. Neo's installer does more than just modify the kexts per the Boris method. Those other modifications may be the source of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liooil Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 To anyone else having trouble after using NEO's installer, just do it manually and see if it makes a difference. Same here. I did first do the manual mod. Worked perfectly. But i've made a new install of my system and then choose the easy way, the neo's installer. Everything didn't worked perfectly (the ripple effect...etc..) So i've uninstalled and done the manual way. The ripple effect is back. Sorry Neopheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdraggy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 About NeoPheus solution. It works for me. 10.4.6 updated to 10.4.7 using Jas installer + 3.2 NeoPheus installer. No glitches, no artefacts, dashboard effects on, QE/CI - all on. Didn't test sleep - I don't need it. DVI works through adapter - my display has only VGA. Sapphire x1600 Pro 128 Mb PCIe. Strange thing - it "sits" on a PCI in System Profiler, not PCIe as it should. Beside that everything is ok. I have a feeling that bus must be PCIe. Am I wrong? For example - Sandvox uses splash effect when swithing site design. On GMA900 this effect is very slow and sometimes "partial". Latest Sandvox build (1.0.3) uses this splash effect only when card supports it. So, in my setup this effect is gone. Again, I'm sure x1600 must be on PCIe in System Profiler. I've tried 10.4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 kexts both modifing manually or with installer (deleting other ATI, NVIDIA, GMA kexts) - no luck, it still on PCI. As I said earlier,CI/QE supported in every case. All Universal games have very bad perfomance compairing to Windows versions. Can someone explain this to me? What I need to do to "put" x1600 on PCIe?

miramar Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Here's another succesful attempt with the manual Boris method. After running 10.4.5 quite happily with onboard GMA950, I decided to try the Borisbadenov Method with a X1600 Pro. I bought the MSI RX1600PRO-TD256E which I believe is the same card that Boris used. I did a fresh install from the JaS 10.4.6 DVD + PPF1 patch, then applied the manual Boris method and rebooted into 1680x1050 with full QE, CI & rotation support. This is using DVI(digital) to my Dell FPW2007. I've yet to try dual monitors but I have tried connecting a single CRT to the VGA port and the DVI with an adaptor but neither works. To sum it up, the MSI RX1600PRO-TD256E works with JaS 10.4.6 with full QE, CI & rotation but output is DVI digital only. mir... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 If you download the 10.4.5 Intel update from Apple and use Pacifist, you can extract the kexts you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnz0432 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I am wondering if you might be able to help me out. I tried your instructions on my Sapphire x1600xt I was able to get the full resolution and hz adjustment. I ened up losing QE and CI in the process. I was wondering if I might be able to get some help with getting it back. barnz0432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnz0432 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I tried the autoinstaller on a new mac install.....and I have about half of the screen completely gone with artifacts and the other half is plain blue. I ended up being closer by editing all the files individually eventhough I lost OE and CI. I would like some help with trying to sort this mess out. barnz0432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanis Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Using manual borisbadenov method worked for me but I had some weird glitches with Unsanity haxies and a ugly IOKitWaitQuiet() error at bootup. I used NeoPheus installer though and it worked like a charm . No errors/glitches at all! I used it on a Connect3D X1800GTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 will this work on an ATI x1600 pro agp because I don't have PCIe. If so then I will buy it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
