MD-8818 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I had my System up and running with a NVidia GS 7650 Card and installed upgraded to a ATI 4670. Of cause it didn´t really work with OSX booting as usual. When I enter -x "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" at the boot prompt OSX starts up in the desired res and almost everything works. Sound doesn´t work. But on the other hand it now shuts down correctly which it didn´t do before. I know there is no driver for the 4670 but since I am using OSX86 for iPhone Development I can live with the VESA mode. But how can I switch the driver? Bonus question: What can I do that the shutdown Problem is away when I dont boot with -x? What drivers are other 4670 owners using? my Config: iPC 10.5.6 updated with iDeneb 10.5.8 Comboupdate ALDI MD-8818 PC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192407-how-to-switch-from-nvidia-to-ati-4670-or-vesa/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD-8818 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 osx doesnt work like windows, osx make desicion about what kext to attach to what device on every boot. OK, so how can I tell it to attach the standard VESA driver (or whatever driver it decieds to use when booting with -x) everytime I boot? Problem is that the NVidiea driver ist still installed but I changed the graphics card. ATI 4670 don't works in Leopard and Snow. Giorgio Hmm... it works in my system at least when I boot with -x I can work with it. It doesnt support acceleration, though.
