[jimmijimboy]

[Devout]

is this work on hd 5550 ?

 

add your device-id to ATI5000.kext or use an injector.

[vnephos]

Thanks tdtran1025! Just an FYI, I noticed that your kexts already existed in Extensions in 10.6.7 so I just copied in the ATI5000Injector.kext into /Extra/Extensions, rebooted and it worked! Thanks again!

Sorry For My English Bad

My graphics card ati radeon hd 5450 working on snow leopard after installed 10.6.6.

 

And how do make them work

 

Only For Kernel Vanilla

 

Waring Backup Your Data

1.Download the all_in_one.rar(down)

2.Install ATI Chameleon bootloader for Radeon HD5000 or kabyl boot

3.The ROM image under /Extra should be named <vendorid>_<deviceid>.rom(ATI 5450 is 1002_68f9.rom)

4.Install Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext to S/L/E (ATI5000Controller don’t need)

5.Edit com.apple.boot.plist

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>UseAtiROM</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>AtiFb</key>

<string>Hoolock</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>Your Resolutions </string>

 

ATI 5450 tested Fb working on Uakari,Vervet,Hoolock and other untested.Recommend Hoolock.

 

6.Install update 10.6.4 reboot and install graphic update 1.0 (if you get kernel panic after installed graphic update 1.0,try boot –x to safe mode and remove all ATIRadeonX3000.kext,I use hfs+ for windows to remove it )(the graphic update 1.0 only for 10.6.4)

7.Open OSX86Tool repair permissons.

8.Install Update 10.6.6 will add ATIRadeonX3000.kext,ATI5000Controller.kext

 

After reboot will it work,you need to do step by step,If you get any error tell me.

Hello, i'm already on 10.6.7 with my ASUS 5450 silent, which pkg of solution for me

 

I've just finished having my hd 5450 working and booting ok with

 

ati kext from 10,6,7 because i'm on 10,6,7

rom 1002_68f9.rom in /extra

Chameleon_HD5000.pkg

removed all ati3000 kexts in S/L/E

 

Issues : can't change resolution, only the resolution in boot file is accepted

Can't recognize that it's a 1Gb Hd 5450 not a 256mo

QC/I not enabled

 

Helllllllppppp

 

Edit :

 

ati kext from 10,6,7 because i'm on 10,6,7

removed all ati3000 kexts in S/L/E

ATI5000Injector.kext in /extra

 

Issues : Now recognized as Aty Megalodon 256 mo

[grillingmachine]

hey dudes,

 

here is, what i did:

 

1. i installed 10.6.3 retail with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]-Supported (darwin 10.4.0 kernel)

2. made the tutorial

3. after installing 10.6.4., then rebooting: "DSMOS arrived" but nothing happens ( also with -x )

 

my hardware:

 

( hp pavilion dv6-3101sg)

hd 5470 (same rom: 68f9)

core i3 m370

 

special:

 

i have switchable graphics (hd5470 + intel GMA) but there is no option in the BIOS to disable this.

But when i put the 1002....rom in the extra folder, i don't need to disable "switchable graphics", RIGHT ?

 

do you have an idea?

 

and sorry for my bad english

[briwil]

I'm using an HP TMT2 running 10.6.6 with ATI 5450- I've followed the instructions here several times, but I'm also getting a "unable to open ATI video bios file... Wrong BIOS signature: 0000"

 

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is it possible that it's because the tm2t has two video cards? I don't know how to turn the intel one off, there's nothing in the BIOS setup screen about that. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply, but are you suggesting I buy this other card?

Because I'm pretty sure I can't swap out the card from the laptop.

Can you tell me what you did,I have not encountered this error

[pdp1]

I'm "downgrading" from a nVidia 9600GT to an ATI 5450. I already have 10.6.7 installed. How would this scenario affect me in terms of the instructions provided in the first post? Would I need to do anything different?

Anyone have any idea please? Just let me know if you think its not working because of the dual video cards or something else, give me some sort of direction to head in. I'm losing hope

[fattire357]

How did you modify the 5450 ROM you attached in the OP? I'm asking because mine must be slightly different (XFX?), and the 5450 ROM you attached doesn't work under /Extras, and if I try to flash it to the card ATIFlash returns an incompatibility error.

 

I'm thinking if I re-traced your steps in modifying the BIOS then I can get an XFX version working.

 

Thanks.

[michaspoli]

Thanks a lot.

You can use GPU-Z for create file .bin and download ATIRBE (radeon bios editor) for convert .bin to .rom.You can use ATIRBE to modify rom.

Sorry for my bad english...my video card is a Ati Radeon 5550 2GB, with your "all_in_one" run on 1920 x 1080 dvi-dvi. Buth not work with Qe Ci enabled, any idea?? Tank's

Wondering if someone can help me.

 

I recently installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 onto my computer with the ATI Radeon HD5450 512MB card.

 

The native resolution is on 1024x768 so I wanted to use this guide to sort that out.

 

Firstly, I followed TonyMac's guide to install Snow Leopard - http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html

 

So this means I am on version 10.6.7, do I need to rollback to version 10.6.4 in order to get this working? If so where can I download this from?

 

Secondly when I tried to install the kexts mentioned in step 4 (Atiframebuffer.kext and ATY_init.kext) to System / Library / Extensions the following error message occured.

 

 

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/ATY_init.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

 

What am I actually supposed to take out from my com.apple.boot.plist file to add the lines mentioned in step 5?

 

Thanks

[PGHammer]

so..

to get QE/CI working we needto update to 10.6.4+gfx update

and 10.6.6 (this should include gfx update from 10.6.4).

 

for ppllike me with SLOW connection i cant stand to download >1gb file.

so my point is.. if there is anyone who kind enaugh to upload their KEXTS (X300plugin.bundle,GA,GL..forgot the name) from 10.6.4+gfx / 10.6.6 we really appreciate that it willbe a BIG HELP to us.

thanks.

 

No; just any combo update later than 10.6.4 (10.6.5 Combo Update or later).

 

Here's my current post-install chain:

 

The files in this thread; the latest version of Chameleon RC5 (SL-only; the SL/Lion version is earlier in the trunk than either this version or the current Snow-only version, hence no native support for the AMD modifications), and 10.6.7 CU+[url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] (in order, with the last two literally one after the other, since the CU requires a reboot) - I have all four files on my custom off-site storage drive's Utility Belt (a 40 GB PATA WD custom-partitioned for the purpose; partition one is a clone of the SL install disc, partition two is my Utility Belt, with partitions three and four reserved for Lion).

 

 

 

How did you modify the 5450 ROM you attached in the OP? I'm asking because mine must be slightly different (XFX?), and the 5450 ROM you attached doesn't work under /Extras, and if I try to flash it to the card ATIFlash returns an incompatibility error.

 

I'm thinking if I re-traced your steps in modifying the BIOS then I can get an XFX version working.

 

Thanks.

 

Actually, if you dual-boot with Windows, use the Radeon BIOS Editor *or* GPU-Z from techPowerUP (http://www.techpowerup.com) to extract your GPU's BIOS (either utility will do). Both save the file with a .BIN extension; simply rename it so it has a .ROM extension (either in Explorer in Windows pre-copy or in Finder post-copy) and use the renamed extracted file instead of the one from the archive.

So I've been trying get this to work to no avail, and the other day I went into AtiFlash and it listed my 5450 card as 68e0, not 68f9 as was listed here... so now I'm confused and not sure which ROM to use (though neither has worked).

I'm on a HP Tm2t with dual Intel/Ati card. Anyone clarify this for me?
