Hi, I've read everywhere that CE/QI can be enabled with the ATI x1400 chipset. Can one of you who got it working share with us how you did it? It would be nice if I can get mine to work (It's the only part that doesn't work!) A few months ago there was nothing for the x1400, and now suddenly it's revived. Share the wealth ! :(

I installed 8.8.1, then installed the driver from installers.dl.am (3.6). Now, I can change my resolution at will, which is pretty cool. However, CE/QI is still disabled. I even changed my Info.plist to match my device IDs (0x7145). Then I deleted my kextcaches and did a Repair Permissions.

 

All that and still no CE/QI, but with resolution changes. Any clues?

 

And what is this ATIinject I keep hearing about, and Caretta? Do I need them, and where do I get them?

In my Extensions in my System Profiler, I get ATIX1000.kext to show up, but it says:

ATIRadeonX1000:

and my ATY_Caretta.kext says:

obviously, it shouldn't be like that, as other pictures have said that dependecies should be complete.

 

Anyone know what I did wrong? Thanks

I do not have any of it. I think Carreta is located inside of ATIRadeonX100GA.kext. ATIInject.kext was deleted, some suggested to use NATIT.kext instead, but that did not work for me. I had (on my first try) some success with ATIinject.kext (CI, QE, but no res change). But I messed my ATIInject, so now does not work anymore and I have made no backup.

 

If you would be so kind and send me your ATIRadeonX1000* kexts and IOFramebuffer, IONDRV and any other conncted to your working configuration would be great. mybe I will have some success and I WILL report here like allways. if any other reading this and having any clue, please help us.

 

p.s. my email is: glastrica(at)gmail.com (for kexts)

Thanks

 

greetings

sure if you can answer my initial question...

replace your ATI* kexts with the kexts extracted from the official Apple 10.4.8 update. Then rebuild kextcache (-f on restart) and insert correct device ID (0x71451002) into /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext/Content/Info.plist.

Then run following commands in terminal:

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext

then reboot and enjoy with QE/CI.

I already have 10.4.8, so I guess I won't really need to extract anything huh.

 

instead of rebuilding in restart, wouldn't it be same to do the following commands:

 

rm Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

 

in System/Library?

yes. you can remove caches manually.

meh..that didn't work..

 

you said i have to get the kexts from the OFFICIAL update...that means JAS's intel update won't work?

 

how do i extract them if i were to download the one from Apple's site? Thanks

Use Pacifist. Extract them and then overwrite existing kexts.
