Charbucks Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I tried searching, I followed all the guides I could find everywhere, and to no avail... I'm running 10.4.6 with a Radeon 9600 Pro (128 Mb) graphics card, Samsung 17" CRT monitor. I added the Callisto 008 kexts (didn't change the device ID because it's the same as mine), edited the EDID to match my monitor (from SwitchResX) , installed AGPGart, and changed the framebuffer to CallistoFB. I also edited the ATIRadeon9700.kext with a hex editor according to a thread that I can no longer locate, and made sure that all my kext's have the proper owner and permissions... all of this does not work. This is the output from my system profiler: Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4150 Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported It's odd that it identifies it as having 256 MB VRAM, when really it's only 128. Other than that, it seems to be a problem with the kext not being loaded. I know this question has been asked repeatedly, but none of the currently posted solutions seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the only thing left to making my computer run, aside from a weird issue with usb drives not being loaded...

Charbucks Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Update: Tried callisto 003, which mostly worked... it's now detected as what it is, ATI radeon 9600 pro, agp, etc. I am given a list of resolutions in the preferences pane, but I get the dreaded black screen when I try and select one! This is also what I see after I log in, unless I'm in safe mode. I think the major problem is that my monitor isn't being detected properly - it still says "Resolution: 1024x768, Refresh rate 60Hz". I used SwitchResX to get my EDID, and I pasted this with plistedit pro into the callisto.kext info.plist file. Is it possible my EDID is wrong? By the way, SwitchResX doesn't list the brand or anything, just says "CRT Monitor"... is there a particular Samsung driver that I need? (It's a Samsung 753DF).
