hi all,

 

sorry for being a noob, but i'm new in the mac world

 

 

im trying to get ati 4850 1GB installed under snowleopard

what program do i need,how to find my dev-id, and where do i add/edit

 

 

 

please guys as i am really stuck..

 

10 years in windows and is all different here.

 

will really appreciate any help

 

 

cheers

some updates folks,

 

I managed to find some info reg my spec card:

(PCI Device 1002-9442 / 1787-2266 (Rev 00); Chip Type ATI display adapter (0x9442)

 

i suspect 0x9442 is my dev id ?

 

 

i went and bought PlistEdit Pro so i can edit the plist and enter my dev-id

 

At the moment i only have 3 patched Ati related kexts on my S/L/E

 

1.Ati4800Controller.kext

2.AtiFramebuffer.kext

3.AtiSupport.kext

 

i found all these patched versions here where people said will work on my card.

in fact i had to delete all other ati files and insert these so i can boot in normal mode

 

 

ofcourse i am now stucked in 1024x768 fixed mode and without qe/ci

 

 

i need to now which of these 3 kexts needs editing, and blind me i tried opening one just for test and i saw so many strings and keys, do i need to start a new key/string? if not which one do i edit..?

 

 

 

thanks in advance
