valdanta68 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Anyone having any success with this yet? Works fine under 10.5.8, but hearing some bad things about it and snow leopard. Like only 1024 res, etc or just black screen. Maybe the thing to do is just ditch ATI and go with a cheapo GeForce 8600 or 8800??

crazyJAT Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 So, I have the black screen issue with Snow Leopard and my HD2600xt. I removed ATIRadeonX2000.kext and ATI2600Controller.kext and am able to get 1024x768 working. However as I understand it there is currently no QE/CI support for the 2600 series. This disappoints me as I have a GA-EP45T-DS3R Cross Fire board with 2 x HD 2600 XT cards running very well in Leopard 10.5.8. Even worse, I bought a copy of Snow Leopard. Not only that, but there is no current or planned support for OpenCL with a 2600 series card, even on real macs. I have the 2.8 GHz 24" iMac c2d with a 2600 XT in it which I bought last year and I wont even get to take advantage of part of the new OS. Is there any hope of QE/CI on the hackintosh with this series ATI card?

Sysagent Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am waiting as well for a solution to get my 2600XT working with Snow Leopard, I am wondering if it will ever be possible?

Konami® Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Oh well, I returned back SL to amazon before they even charged me for the product, I will not going to buy something that does not work under 2600XT. I will just stay with 10.5.8, works pretty well.
