betam4x Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 [RANT] I am working on getting lion installed via the USB guide at the top of this thread. I currently have a radeon 6970 which has always been problematic under OS-X. Once i created the USB stick and booted into the installer (passing in 1 parameter, "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32", I notice that i'm getting full hardware acceleration, 1080p resolution with extended desktop (only during installation though ). Why do we have so much trouble with these cards after installation? Also, anyone have any tips on getting the networking functional on the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z under lyon? Worked fine under snow leopard. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/272769-semi-rant-someone-explain-this-one-to-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Andy^ Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 That would be because you are not actually getting any hardware acceleration at all during setup - the gldriver bundle is not even loaded. If you want to be able to boot with a 6970 after setup has completed (at which point it will attempt to load the gldriver bundle and fail) then you need to boot with -s and delete the ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle, clear the cache and reboot.
