I am a noob about this.

 

How do I get this working? I really want to install Mac OS X on my laptop, and it seems some have made it succesfully work with Radeon 5850.

 

What should I download here, what should I download else where, what guide should I follow?

 

Can someone please, very short, write me a mini guide how I shall get this working?

It would be freakin' amazing if someone would give their time to do that for me. Really.

 

I am using an i5 Intel 430M CPU and my laptop is GX640 from MSi.

 

Thank you VERY, VERY much in advance!

Heyyo,

 

Hello guys,

 

I have a Club3D 5850, Gigabyte p55m-ud2 and a intel core i5 750, does anybody know

if this setup is OSX compatible (I was searching on some sites but I couldnt find the right info).

 

And if it is, could somebody please tell me how. I really want an OSX dualboot ;)

Yes it is. The vidcard might work with this new aty_init.kext that Netkas is working on for proper screen resolutions and so fourth. For setting up OSX use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]:

 

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/

 

And once installed? use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] which is on there, and you would use the UserDSDT and grab the DSDT.aml that goes with your mobo.

 

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (Check the vids on how to set it up with UserDSDT):

DSDT.aml file you will need:

Hey guys I have a problem with my Radeon 5850. Looking forward to getting it to work with OSX but now it won't even let me boot. When i boot with Chameleon I type:

i386 -v

 

After Chameleon loads some lines my entire screen turns black and my graphics fan starts spinning like mad. After a few seconds my monitor is starting to switch continuesly between analog and digital, indicating there is no input anymore. One guy one a other board said I had to put something in my second DVI-slot for it to boot, he said a DVI -> VGA dongle would do the trick but it didn't work for me.

 

My OSX install did use to work on my other graphics card (Nvidia 6600GT). It was a pretty easy job getting it to work on that card: I didn't have to do anything and I immediatly got FullHD and QE/CI. Strangely however, booting from my HDD instead of the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD always got stuck when not in -v mode. Now it doesn't let me boot at all with the CD nor my HDD in -v mode.

 

My system:

 

- Intel core i5 750

- Asus Radeon 5850 1GB

- Gigabyte GA-P55m UD2

- OSX 10.6.3 installation on AHCI HDD ([url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] way)

 

I would appreciate any help :thumbsup_anim:

did you try at least reading the message from -zero- that is 3 post above you?? it sure wouldn't hurt you to try

I'm sorry but i actually have been following this topic for quite some time. I know that updating to 10.6.4 is a must and it was stupid I didn't realise i have to use my old card first because otherwise I can't boot into OSX to perform the update. I guess I'm going to do that first, after installing the kext I will pop in my 5850 again and we will see.
