Just downloaded it, opened with pacifist, and indeed contains Needed kexts to support our hardware.

 

Someone with balls enough to try this one out? Doesnt startup on hacks, needs editing the installer so that it doesnt enforce the installerchecks.

I downloaded the update, extracted in Terminal using

 

pkgutil --expand path/to/MacOSXUpd10.6.4foriMacMid2010.pkg path/to/desired/directory

 

because I didn't want to install Pacifist. Then I copied

 

  • * ATI5000Controller.kext
    * ATIFramebuffer.kext
    * ATIRadeonX3000*
    * ATISupport.kext

 

to /S/L/E and chowned them. The first boot with ATY_Init.kext was successful but deleting it results in a KP. ATI5000Controller.kext has several PCI IDs in its Info.plist and the one required for my HD 5770 is among them.

 

I know to little about graphics drivers, so I probably won't be able to test various methods.

I tried them now but unlike the ati drivers for the macmini that where released a month again, these ones kicked me into the matrix...

I was using a HD 5750 fyi...

At least these seemed to work with a single DVI, the old ones I'm forced to use a dvi and dvi2hdmi to get it to display anything, not that it matters that much
