I tried to install the 4850 working driver from another OSX install but i could install only half and now it boot but the screen turn off just before arriving on desktop! what driver did you install let me give you a tip.

SilentViper Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 if you can boot in safe mode in finder go to system library extensions and look for all Files that start with ATI there are 2 main files that need to be there. ATIRadeonX2000.kext and ATI4800Contoller.kext. ati4800controller is where you need to add your device id Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210678-switched-from-x1950-to-4850hd/#findComment-1410752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentViper Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 if it says something like /sbin/mount -uw and /sbin/fsck -fy or something like that you need to type /sbin/mount -uw to mount the drive read write. then you need to type cd /system/library/extensions/ and thats where you need to determine if you have AtiRadeonX2000.kext and ATI4800controller.kext you need to cd into ATI4800Controller.kext/contents/ then type sudo nano Info.plist and add you device id, mine was 0x94421002 or something like that and hit Control X hit yes then enter and then reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210678-switched-from-x1950-to-4850hd/#findComment-1411006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
^GoJo^ Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm going to try that, but if it doesn't work (cause my device ID is different) how can i get it? Mine is Goldent Sample 4850HD 1st edition (i think).

SilentViper Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Either install lspci or go to your utilities folder open the system profiler app. And go to graphics card.

^GoJo^ Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 How am i supposed to do that if i can't boot any OSX on this computer?! Anyway i tried what you said, it didn't work, i tried many things (making me crazy!!) here's capture : Here he started doing something endless & crazy with that HDA thing and it never ends, like infinite loop... wild reboot. Here he just stopped after the last line, like dead, wild reboot again. In this one, i boot in normal mode with just -v and.. that's it!

Alex HQuest Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Your first screen has nothing about HD4850. This is VoodooHDA, a sound kext. Unsure why it messed up with you. Second screen is showing Natit "working" -- unsure where this Natit.kext came from, but I strongly advise to remove it and update Chameleon to 2.0RC3 or latest, or PC-EFI 10.5 or latest. Last screen appears to be the lack of the "Graphics Enabler" feature -- which may be fulfilled by either a recent Natit.kext or -- my recommended approach -- a boot.plist "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" flag with Chameleon/PC-EFI. Surely you can find a lot of good threads in here about what and how to install these named tools. Last but not least, sometimes 60Hz based resolutions doesn't work. In that case, you may be able to use a lower display resolutin with higher frequency, but not your optimal monitor resolution.

^GoJo^ Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Well thanks for the answer, i didn't install anything else tjan the x1950. Driver found here, also my chameleon is already the one you said i think. I did all i could, remember i can't boot so if you don't tell me what to do in txt mode, im stuck EDIT: I just tried to reinstall 10.5 (iAtkos v7) on another disk, if i use the ATI HD driver they offer, i get KP, if not then i get artefact in verbose mode... Damn i really can't get an install with this card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210678-switched-from-x1950-to-4850hd/#findComment-1411526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn i really can't get an install with this card artifacts are good. in this situation. that tells you that ATIRadeonX2000.kext found your card but you need to add your device id to ATI4800Controller.kext with the method i mentioned before.
