http://www.mediafire.com/?nz22gqgggmm - newer version, fixed an error in the second DSDT part SORRY!

 

 

Does it work?

 

EDIT: if you leave your computer alone it can freeze, wake from sleep doesn't work... please help me solve these 2 minor problems..

Anyway now I can use Pages, Aperture & co. without a glitch!

 

EDIT: now I uploaded the PDF file directly over InsanelyMac servers...

Has anyone tried this method with 4xxx mobility cards?

 

I think SilentViper is going to try it, anyway I suggest you trying by yourself (also to have more checks over the method to follow to make ati cards works... Anyway I think it might work as these cards all use similar technologies...

hi everyone,

just coming to telll you that this method is not working for 4770 ( at least mine )

but it seems there is no way to make it functionnal except if Apple release some day a 4770 card....

 

can someone confirm?

 

thanks anyway, it was cool to try ;-)

 

 

(PS : all the procedure went good, it is recognized, but at the end : not accelerated, no resolution choice, juste in the hardware infos :2 pci device shown : Radeon 4770 Motmotparent,& Radeon 4890 )

When I tried that dsdt patch last month (on my 4650), I really had a weird experience - I learned it from tonymac's blog. Instead of detecting my 4650 video card, it detected my G31 chipset/internal video card which is GMA 3100 .. lol. It was listed in my System Preferences .. really really weird.

Has anyone tried this method on ATI Mobility HD Radeon 4570? I really want to enable QE. But the second part of the instructions, i dont get. and some files are also missing in download links.

Sorry for the (massive) bump, but I need some assistance with this guide, and most likely someone here would have the file.

The link to ATI_init.pkg has broken and I urgently need the file!

Thankyou
