Sapphire 6670 DDR3 - 10.6.8 Issues

[tlatest]

Hi!

 

I have a Sapphire 6670 DDR3 and I need help trying to get the card to work in 10.6.8. In case it matters, I have an AMD X2 system running Nawcom's legacy kernel.

 

I think i need to modify the ATI6000Controller.kext file with the correct connector info for my card, but I am not sure.

 

I'm running 10.6.8 and I'm always presented with a white/gray screen when OSX attempts to boot into the desktop when connected via DVI or VGA. If i connect via HDMI the system reboots at that particular stage. This occurs when using the Pithecia framebuffer. I've tried nearly all of the other framebuffers and the same occurs or the monitor losses signal and goes into sleep.

 

Even with GraphicsEnabler=No and/or -x I am unable to see anything other than a white/gray screen or black screen.

 

Below is the output from radeon_bios_decode and ati_personality.

Besides buying a new intel based MB, CPU and ram is there anyone here running 10.6.8 with a 6670 in an AMD based system?
