I call shenanigans here. You're telling me that your X800 XL, same model and ID as mine, works with an X1000 series solution, which has been reported multiple times not to work with anything else? Mind posting some screenshots?

Notice it says "script". The Neo script does more than the boris method.

The NeoPheus installer: http://www.installers.dl.am/

supposedly uses some kexts from 10.4.5 as well as a 10.4.5 GL Framework. Who knows what else it does - it has never been detailed or explained.

 

I'm not saying that it really will fix an x800 (I have no idea), but ppan76 refers to "your script" and I am thinking he meant the Neo script.

Sorry all I got confused. I am using Koverg's Patch with my X800XL

 

koverg-patch9700-v0.2.tgz

 

Nevermind figured out:

I used Igrab.. it created a tiff file..hmm didn't have option to save as jpeg.

 

 

:(

Sure. I downloaded boris patch and followed the instructions to the letter. Question is how do I post a picture on this forum? And what program to use to take SS. (PrintScreen??)

 

Command-Shift-3 takes a screen print. Command-Shift-4 gives you crosshairs to select a portion of the screen. The resulting picture will be on the desktop.

 

In the toolbar when you reply on this board, you will see an envelope icon. To the right of that is the picture icon.

Hey there... following this thread for a while now... Have Sapphire X1600 Pro AGP w/ 256 MB of memory on a Dell Dimension (P4 w/ Intel MoBo). Using Jas 10.4.6 plus 10.4.7 update + borisbadenov3.2... Great work! Everything works except DVI connector... a few questions:

  • is it possible to change the login window resolution to the resolution of the deskop? Computer starts with lower rez during login and switches desktop to correct resolution once logged in...
  • card is seen as PCI not AGP card... Xbench 2D Graphics Speed is kind of sluggish (30something range) but still acceptable. Can this be changed with the AGPart driver from the other thread? Or should I stay with what I have which is good enough... Better than ATI 9800 Pro with mouse tearing and mouse completely broken after iPhoto slide show, for example.
  • ACPI S3 not working at all... Computer has to be hard-reset... Anybody managed to get around this?
  • slightly Off Topic: Sound works in general but some applications (most noteably Skype and GarageBand) are mute. Though they do work with USB headset...

Cheers

Does it get any better than this:

I finally got my x1600xt fully working with the ripple in dashboard QE CE full Resolution Switching and i have mirror...but it says not supported, but it does work if I use dvi to analog converter on the dvi. Rotation is also supported

 

 

All I did is have it updated to 10.4.6 and edit the ATINDRV.kext and replaced

"<string>ATY,Wormy</string> to this <string>display</string>"

and

<string>IONDRVDevice</string> to this <string>IOPCIDevice</string>

 

I tried many differnt solutions. The Neopheus installer 3.2, completely made my system unusable with artifacts, the boris method only gave me resolution and refresh switching.

 

By just editing the atidrv.kext file made everything function like it should. iMovie, Final Cut, and the DVD player all function like they did with the gma 900.

 

I found out that editing all the other files besides the atindrv seems unnessary because the acceleration works without any editing, the card just needs to be recognized to get the resolution and refresh without the tearing that you would get normally without any editing or just going into the boot.plist to lock the resolution.

 

 

here is just some updated info for you guys. If if wasnt for everyone here at osx86 I couldnt have done it ;)

I just read your post. I had an old asus p4c800e deluxe board that the sound was the same as what you have now. I had to plug the speakers into the line out (blue connector to get garageband to play properly)

For the ACPI S3 : no solution

Hey, I wish you luck. Best I can tell you is just look over all the settings really well. Hopefully there is not much of a difference between the XT and PRO. To be safe, delete all other ID's in the plists. I did not do it the first time and it messed it up. Let me know how it goes

I just ordered the MSI. Hopefully it works smooth. :)

Doom3, Halo, Jedi Academy, Quake 4

Thanks for your reply... I just ran Xbench again for the graphics and attaching the results... This was significantly higher for my Radeon 9800 Pro / AGP. So in general, when having the "right" AppleI386.kext it should be possible to have that same performance on the X1600 Pro AGP as well?

I got the MSI card. It works like a dream. I have an envision '19. It says 'Out of frequency when I fire up doom 3, no matter what settings I change the game to. It wont let me view the frequency while it displays that message. Any ideas?

 

But damn, it runs on high quality / 1024x768 CLEAN. and smooth.

 

Sweet card. No tearing. No {censored}. Install the card, run the software, reboot, and it just works.

 

UPDATE: I fixed the problem in the Doom 3 config. Set refresh rate to 75 instead of 0.

You say you have "mirror"? You mean you can run mirrored dual displays? Are we to take it that you have tried extended desktop mode and that fails?

I am so happy to see so many people having success with thier ATI X16 & X1800 cards and it is great to read some of the new discoveries and all the other work going on in this area. I do not mind answering emails asking for help but in order for me to be of help, and in a timely maner, I need to have certain info about your system; which osx do you have; 10.4.4, 10.4.5, 10.4.6, 10.4.7 and who's build is it, Myzar, JaS, etc? Also, which card do you have, make, model number, etc, do you have an onboard video card and if so, did you turn it off first? How did you obtain the device ID number? Also very important, make sure you did not make any typos and be sure to have read ALL of the installation instructions first. And lastly, if you did ask for help and then got your system working, a polite word of thanks would be appreciated just so I know you are no longer stuck.

I have a Sapphire x1600xt with one VGA and a DVI with a VGA adapter hooked up to 2 monitors and all I get is a mirrored display.
