FCP not working for me

[meisterk]

Sorry to post a dupe, but i'm losing sleep and almost getting depressed because i I cannot figure out why FCP is not working on my rig.

 

FCP crashes on startup

 

I carefully chose compatible components: I have QE / CI working with a Gigabyte ATI Radeon X1600 pro

 

Full specs:

 

Asus A8N5X nForce4 chipset

 

AMD 64 3200+ with SSE3

 

2X512 Corsair

 

Gigabyte GV-RX16P256D-RH X1600 Pro

 

JaS 10.4.6 DVD Install AMD SSE3 kernel

 

10.4.5 ATIRADEON kexts, the ones from the JaS DVD give me cursor on a black screen.

 

 

UPDATE

 

QE accel is weird, e.g. I have the wave effect with dashboard but don't have cube transition effects or the scale effect in fullscreen iPhoto

 

It seems that the crash comes from GLengine:

Anyone succeeded using Aperture/FCP with an AMD and a X1600 pro?

 

Cheers,

I'm on intel with a Saphire x1600 but I have tested both of those apps with no problems, they ran great.

 

Did you use the Boris methoid to get the x1600 pro working? I think these cards work partially with some graphic errors right out of the box. But search the forums for the boris method, it will get everything working great with resolution and refresh rate control in system preferences.

 

Sorry if you've already used this method. If you have and you're still having problems, then it's likely a problem with that maker of the x1600 card, or it could be an AMD issue, sorry if I"m no help.

I was having a similar issue with my new x1600. FCP wasn't running properly, getting scan lines in the viewer windows, making the program unusable.

 

I had previously installed the Boris method with the NEO installer, so I uninstalled it, and ran through each step in the BORIS method MANUALLY.

 

Now it works like a charm.

 

Give that a shot
