H17737 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi guys, after several installations i managed to get snow leopard to boot up (both x86 and x64) on my P5Q-PRO. Unfortunatly i get a blank screen right after the boot finishes. I had the same problem when i installed my 4870 Golden Sample on leopard because of the exotic connectivity and had to plug in the HDMI connector a HDMI-DVI-VGA adpter (on netkas' advising) to override the signal while my monitor was linked on VGA port... Poorly this doesn't seem to do the trick with snow leopard.... if anyonehas a solution PS: here's the port configuration PS2: I tried all 4870 installations - EVOenabler, ATY_init, 4800controller.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185344-4870-golden-sample-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerr Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 hi guys, I also have non-reference (DVI,D-Sub, HDMI, Display Port) 4870 and got it working the following way: 1. Install PC EFI 10.5 2. Add this to your com.apple.boot.plist: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> 3. Make sure to have your card's id in info.plist of ATI4800Controller.kext. Add it if you don't have it. 4. Repair permissions 5. Reboot (with -f if you modified ATI4800Controller.kext) That's how it worked for my Palit without any additional kexts. Good luck with your brands !!! PS: thanks to netkas for this Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185344-4870-golden-sample-issues/#findComment-1346533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
