Mr Props Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi Community! I installed Snow Leopard with this Tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213366 I've got a MSI 770-C45 and a Pheneom CPU too, so everything worked fine. My problem is my Graphiccard: Saphire ATI HD 5670 During the installation, i had a higher Resolution as 1024x768, i think it was smth like 1280x800. When my OS X started, it had gone down to 1024x768 Resolution. The good thing was, that my Graphiccard was installed without any Kext: Display: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x68d8 Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes But as you can see, it detects my Display as a 1024x768 Resolution Display, but its a 1440x900 one. In options, i cant select another Resolution. I tried to edit the apple.boot.plist (or smth) and added the Boot Graphic thing with the right resolution, but that didnt work for me. I dont know, maybe i did something wrong with the syntax. Can anyon post me the right plist setting (completly)? Also I tried to add the Drivers by following this Tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=241064 I dont wanted to try that, because my OSX detected and installed the driver already, but after i couldnt change the resolution, i hoped to fix it by trying it. After i made a Software Update to 10.6.4 (it was required), i couldnt start my OSX anymore. So it couldnt helped me .. i installed my OSX again. I hope someone can help me! It really would be great!

David23 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 delete sleepenabler.kext, run the update to 10.6.5 (better than 10.6.4), before restart change your kernel with legacy_kernel for 10.6.5, after reboot, install the new sleepenabler for 10.6.5 and the kext in that guide and change the boot file with this after reboot with -f and you'll have QE/CI enabled and resolution change. It's better if you made a backup with carbon copy cloner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATIRadeonX3000.kext 2. ATIRadeonX3000GA.plugin 3. ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle 4. ATIRadeonX3000VADriver.bundle or both? And what do you mean with change the boot file with this one? Wich boot file i have to overwrite with the boot.gz of the topic? Sorry but im not sure .. how can i boot with -f, and how can i do that automaticly always? Thank you!

Thank you! both kexts, and for the boot file you have to extract it and replace with your in the root of your hd (it's a hidden file), you need chameleon rc5 installed before. boot with -f it's only for the first boot after the update for permissions, pres f8 in chameleon and write -f.

Mr Props Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ive got another Problem now: After the Update to 10.6.5 i cant boot anymore. It stops at the apple and the turning cyrcle. I can boot as single user or with a live CD, but i dont know how i can fix it. I deleted the sleepenabler.kext and the cache kext in startup folder. Before i restart after update, i installed the legacy kernel for 10.6.5! I had the ANV 10.2.0 before. Anyone has an idea how to fix this? BTW i used the combined update of hazard.

Mr Props Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Boot with -v flag and post an image of the screen. With -v i get this: If i try to boot normal, i can see a new loading bar wich is going away after the half! Maybe the problem is this "getCPUID unknow ID"? Thank you really so much for your help! BTW: Happy new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio_multi Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Delete ATIRadeonX3000.kext and ATI5000COntroller.kext, enter in the system and reinstall the right kexts for 10.6.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Props Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi! Thank you for the help! I could boot after the update by deleting the two kexts before. Like David23 said, i installed all the kexts of this Guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=241064 Then i installed Chameleon RC5 and tried to reboot with -f, but i get panics at the grey apple logo. Maybe i shouldnt install all the kexts of this guide? Wich kexts du you mean with "the right kexts for 10.6.5"? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
