I finally managed to get hardware acceleration on a Radon X1550 (0x7143) PCIe x1. I used the MacMan2007's instructions as a baseline, but had to try several times to find the ID that could be changed without messing up the driver code...

 

I'm using iDeneb 1.6 (10.5.8) without display drivers and edited the original ATIRadeonX1000.kext .

 

- Edited info.plist, changed ID 0x71421002 to 0x71431002.

 

- Hexedited the binary and replaced 3 occurrences of "7142" with "7143" and 1 occurrence of "4271" with "4371".

 

- Installed with Kext Helper and VOILA!

All is not well, mind you - I have some graphical issues now and then...

 

Update I: Aaaand another thing. I only have 1024x768... I tried changing the ATINDRV.kext, and that messed everything up pretty good. Blue background is all I get, and it starts about an half an inch diagonally from the top left corner. Fun. Would you believe it, I just changed it back!  ;)

Update II: I also tried the (unneeded) ATIinject.kext described in MacMan2007's post with the same result as the ATINDRV.kext. Suggestions?

NO NO NO

To have fully resolution you must only install the RadeonHD kext from Dong (see the Topic in the ATI Framebuffer Section in this forum).

 

Good job for ATIRadeonX1000.kext. remain only to install RadeonHD.kext

 

Good Luc

 

DANGER!!! RadeonHD works very fine ONLY without injectors.

NO NO NO

To have fully resolution you must only install the RadeonHD kext from Dong

 

Okay, I tried the 10/28/2009 version for 10.5:

 

 

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001AC599): Kernel trap at 0x439b3f35, type 14=page fault

 

(...)

 

Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):

  com.dong.driver.RadeonHD(1.0.0d1)

    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.7.3)

    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6)

    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.7.3)

 

Sure didn't do the trick for me... :)

Update 1: RadeonHD.kext with debugMode=true still causes Kernel Panic...

Well, I just had a look at things again. I did a fresh install and hexed the kext again. Turns out you ONLY need to change the single "4271" occurance to "4371" to enable CI/QE, I guess this is the same for other cards as well. I still have a bit of mouse artifacts, though.

 

 

And I used the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist trick to set up my desired resolution:

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32"</string>

 

 

 

 

 

I also retried the RadeonHD.kext with the newly edited driver, but it still causes kernel panic...
