vilpostus Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Actually just install. Nothing special about it. If it doesn't work, it just doesn't work. Though may try inserting device/vendor ID. Can't tell you if it help. Google for it.

Joe Grey Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 hey, i´ve googled very long, nothing could help me... Where to insert the vendor id? greets Joe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187048-resolution/#findComment-1270514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36764 Copy ATIRadeonX1000.kext from /System/Library/Extensions to desktop. Go to ATIRadeonX1000.kext>Contents>Info.plist Open it with PlistEditorPRO. Locate lines: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x71871002 0x72101002 0x71DE1002 0x71461002 0x71421002 0x71091002 0x71C51002 0x71C01002 0x72401002 0x72491002 0x72911002</string> Insert your Vendor/Device ID. So the edited lines should look like this: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x71871002 0x72101002 0x71DE1002 0x71461002 0x71421002 0x71091002 0x71C51002 0x71C01002 0x72401002 0x72491002 0x72911002 0xNewString</string> Now remove the original kext from /System/Library/Extensions. Use OSx86Tools to install the new version. Don't forget to backup the original extension beforehand. May also try the same with ATIRadeonX2000.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187048-resolution/#findComment-1270723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilpostus Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, don't try to use them both at once. Modify one. Reboot. Then restore it. Modify next. Reboot. Also don't forget about correct permissions. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187048-resolution/#findComment-1271790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
