 Device ID:	0x4b4c
 Revision ID:	0x0000
 Kernel Extension Info:	No Kext Loaded

(I fixed my resolution to 1280x1024x32 but my refresh rate still: 60HZ, when I add "@85" to <string>1280x1024x32@85<string> to the "com.apple.Boot.plist" file, my MAC OS can't boot any more!

So now I need another ways to do this, also!)

Guedes Jr,

 

Vou tentar esse aí pq a minha x800GTO nova não aceita mais QE & CI de jeito nenhum, a anterior (deu problema) funcionava muito bem e ambas eram mesma marca e modelo.

 

I´ll try this one because my new x800GTO is not enabling QE & CI anymore. The old one (need to be exchanged due to a problem) worked prety fine. Both were same model and brand.

 

 

EDIT> tried the hint (demon + ati_work) but was unable to find any torrents...

The best driver for your card is ATI9700.kext, but device ID 0x4b4c is not into ATIRADEON9700.kext

 

... you must edit atiradeon9700.kext/contents/info.plist and add to the code 0x4b4c1002 along with the rest of references. With this simply edition must work Core image and quartz extreme, with pretty mouse tearing, je je.

 

With Callisto drivers you lost CI & QE but win change resolutions

......... the easy thing is to go to applications/tools/netinfo, and in menu security to activate user root with password. To leave netinfo, to do logout and to enter like root. soon in /system/library/extensions to look for AtiRadeon9700.kext and with the right button of the mouse to select to show package contents, to open contents and to edit info.plist with textedit, to add 0x4b4c1002 between the rest of codes and to save. Soon to open terminal and to write

 

rm /system/library/extensions.kextcache

kextcache - k /system/library/extensons

 

exit and restart

 

another way to do it is to stop the starting during timeout and to write

 

- s

 

we will enter superuser mode

to write:

 

/sbin/mount - uw/

 

CD /system/library/extensions/atiradeon9700.kext/contents

 

emacs info.plist

 

edit the code 0x4b4c1002 and to press ctrl+x ctrl+c

 

kextcache - k /system/library/extensions

 

exit

I suppose you can't see all of these "codes" that look just like yours and even end in "1002"?

I add like this:

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x4E441002 0x41441002 0x4E481002 0x41481002 0x41501002 0x4E501002 0x41521002 0x4E541002 0x4A481002 0x4A491002 0x4A4A1002 0x4A4B1002 0x4A4C1002 0x4A4D1002 0x4A4E1002 0x5B601002 0x5B621002 0x3E501002 0x4E561002 0x5B641002 0x3E541002 0x4b4c1002</string>

If you read the FAQ that was included with your Callisto package, it says the following:

 

Q. How do I get the QE/CI/OpenGL KEXTs to work with Callisto?

 

A. Look in your /System/Library/Extensions folder for ATIRadeonXXXXGA.plugin/ (XXXX depends on your card model). Edit its Info.plist, under IOProviderClass key change IONDRVFramebuffer to CallistoFB, update or delete Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache, then reboot.

Hi,

I have good news for you.

Your search is over for some time (or for ever).

 

There is no way to run AGP version of x850 on MAC OS X.

 

I was fighting with that sh..t but after month of checking, changing, reinstallation and so on decided to believe that it wont work.

 

 

HOWEVER - if you will do something better than me - please let me know.
