I installed a Radeon Saphire HD 5450 1GB in an old Dell E520 Core 2 Duo box running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I used the instruction found here:- http://www.osx86.net...id=3043&page=2. The card is working find, DVD Player and Chess work, it shows in system profiler correctly, however when putting the display to sleep, using a hot corner, the cursor disappears, the picture freezes, but the display remains on. The display is connected via DVI. If I tried to sleep the whole computer then the drives spin down, the display powers off, but the display will not come back on again after sleep, although the drives do spin up. AppleGraphicsPowerManagement is not loaded, I'm using a MacPro 3,1 SMBIOS. Any Ideas?

SMCentral, thanks for the suggestion this didn't make any difference. I've tried a few different SMBIOS configurations with no effect on the issues.

 

One additional piece of information, I've tried adding a second monitor using the VGA port and this does sleep when using the hot corner, so it seems to be specific to the use of the DVI port. Any ideas?

FInally got round to digging  further. The card has three physical connectors... DVI, HDMI and VGA, all three connectors work, including dual screens, the issue is the HDMI and DVI do not "Hot plug" nor will they sleep/wake, the VGA will sleep/wake. 

 

I've been investigating how to modify the framebuffer personality,  dumping and analysing the rom on the card I get the following :-

 

redsock_bios_decoder < myrom.rom

2E164000.AM2:

Connector Object Id [2] which is [DVI_I]
     encoder obj id [0x1e] which is [iNTERNAL_UNIPHY (osx txmit 0x10 [duallink 0x0] enc 0x0)] linkb: false

     encoder obj id [0x15] which is [iNTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1 (osx txmit 0x00 enc 0x10?)] linkb: false
Connector Object Id [5] which is [VGA]
     encoder obj id [0x16] which is [iNTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC2] linkb: false 
 
Here's the output from the other bios decoding tool :-

The Ati-personality script floating around didn't work for me on 10.8.4 with latest Xcode command line tools installed. However I found info on the default for my framebuffer and was able to confirm  these values by using hexedit on the AMD5000Controller file within the kext. 
 
I currently use the Eulemur framebuffer , and this looks like 
 

0000000 04 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 02 01 04

0000010 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 71 00 00 12 04 04 02

0000020 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 01

 
 
Any idea how to fix the connectors for hot-plug and sleep/wake?

Made progress, sleep/wake now works. See the table below. I've colour matched the numbers of the outputs of the BIOS decodes to the numbers in the frame buffer profiles, and underlined the values I had to change. My revised frame buffer is shown first, followed by the standard  Eulemur settings I used as the basis. NoOTE the VGA one didn't seem to need any changes.
