ATI Megalodon on HP NX9420

[vlad2005]

Hi all!

I have installed Snow Leopard into my HP NX9420.

I try to make to work my graphics card at full. System profiler show me that name of my graphics card it's ATY, Megalodon. In many post's i see the name for ati x1600 like "Wormy". According with this post, Megalodon name seem to be for ati on desktop computers.

My question now:

1. Need to change any instance on name "Wormy" with "Megalodon" in my kexts?

2. What kexts need to have? Is a bit confusing. I read about ATIinject, ATINDRV, EVOenabler, ATI1000, ATIFramebuffer, ATI1600Support. What i need to have?

By the way could you describe your Snow Leopard installation. I am in 10.5.4 and trying to upgrade in a nx9420.

 

Thanks

This was some time ago. I know that post and test some solutions from there but not work.

For now I gave up installing OSX on my laptop. Currently I using Linux that running great and Windows XP for some programs.

I'm curious at 10.5.4 everything goes ok on NX9420?

For Snow Leopard i used Kallaway distro but don't remember exactly what kext was selected on install.
