MontMac Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That's awesome you got it to work. It would be even more awesome if you uploaded your ATI6000 Kext so others could benefit too. I would have but never figured out how to upload the kext. I have sold the ATI card anyhow and installed the Zotac Nvidia GT640 Silent graphics card. Works OOB without any drivers or hacks. I am using FCP and handbrake without issue. Works great!

I've been trying to get mine to work with all the ports with no luck. Guess it's time to post and ask for help.

Here is my bios dump https://www.dropbox....a58vm/Barts.rom Sorry, it involves a lot of testing and tweaking. Can't do that without the card. Its not that hard to do, lots of tutorials over here on insanely.

fffeee Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 10.8.3 has made a pretty big dent in my extra days off from a vacation — anyone else having some problems with edits to the kexts? My 10.8.2 bundle didn't work as expected on 10.8.3, and doing edits to the 10.8.3 bundle(s) have resulted in some odd hotplug/port behavior. I'm presently limping along with using DVI-D and DVI-S but DVI-S won't become active unless I plug in an HDMI cable, so I think I know where the problem is but my combinations of trans/plug/port haven't come up with a magic combo yet.

PoisonDrop Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just an update, if not for anyone else, then just for the sake of remembering how I got this working again! As of 10.8.4, my Gigabyte 6850 OC works OOB, including triple monitors with an active adapter. The only issue is the framebuffer selection. This card requires Duckweed (and AtiPorts=4). Currently, it appears that the Duckweed personality needs NO editing to run this card. I have found that framebuffer selection varies depending on which bootloader is used. I am using Chameleon r2069 now and I have to manually set it to Duckweed. Previous Chameleon versions selected Duckweed on their own. I don't mess around with my OS drive that often, so when this issue popped up, it had me stumped for a bit. Hopefully I will remember to re-read this post down the line and save myself a few headaches during the next clean install...

ThisName Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hey guys. I have the exact same hardware as Alex and was wondering if this guide would also apply to modifying the updated kexts in 10.7.5, 10.8.5 etc. Or has Alex posted updated kexts somewhere?

hugeschnauzer Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi Guys. I've installed my 7970 adding rampaged code to my DSDT + Sleeptrick at startup. I guess im missing the frame buffer install inside AMD7000Controller.kextIs that necessary? Im getting 41fps at Cinebench 11.5 The steps are a little bit confusing for me: http://rampagedev.wo...er-personality/ Tks!!

Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Okey, so I had my card working perfectly in Lion and Mountain Lion. It's still working under Mavericks and Yosemite, but gives me a major problem: With RadeonFramebuffer it works with Full Res but obviously there is no acceleration But when I enable patched driver (Same hexed patch as before) I don't get any signal on VGA. What can I do? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273937-guide-getting-xfx-hd6850-connectors-to-work/page/5/#findComment-2076528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
interpolgp Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hey all, I am trying to understand the guide as best I can before I start trying this out. One question I have is, I see some post with the following format 0000000 00 02 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 01 06 0000010 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 06 04 0000020 00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 01 0000030 04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 03 05 0000040 vs this format 00 02 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 01 06 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 06 04 00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 01 04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 03 05 What do the extra 7 digits (0000010) at the start do of every line do? Do I need to include them in Clover to get the Kext patching to work?
