SaxMachine Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Delete GeForce kext and Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache reboot!! This problem is caused of NF4 chipset, GeForce kext load chipset and have kernel panic! If you have many squares on desktop put another monitor to VGA o DVI but off...otherwise try kext ATINDRV and IONDRV from 10.4.5 Edited December 31, 2006 by SaxMachine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37221-x1600-pro-512mb-pci-e-how-to-get-working/#findComment-265351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNILEator Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 ok if i delete the geforce kext and the extensions and reboot i get squares then a blue screen that is all it loads up to unfortunately. If i place in the kexts i got from 10.4.7 JAS install DVD after sudo chown and chmod'ing them and reboot i get a black screen with mouse only (however the system works because i heard someone sign in on messenger) Boris i still get squares I have an adapter that plugs into my DVI port allowing a VGA monitor to be plugged into the back i tried my VGA monitor in both connections any more ideas or a more detailed set of instructions?

SaxMachine Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) IONDRV and ATINDRV from 10.4.5 not from 10.4.7!! Download update 10.4.5 from apple and extract with pacifist or install...Repair permissions manually and with utility disk... Put your device id (0x71c21002 i presume because i have same video card) in PCIMatch ATIRadeonX1000.kext sudo -s chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/* chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/* rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache repair permissions with Utility Disk and Reboot!

aNILEator Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I used the kexts i had from 10.4.7 because i had full resolutions and QE/CI after customizing the installation with the boris patch, I still have full res and qe/ci if i use the 10.4.8 AMD SSE3 combo update (from demonoid a few months ago) on top of this install, however doing it this way i do not get latest kernel and what not The instructions you give, is this the method that you used at all? Thanks for your help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37221-x1600-pro-512mb-pci-e-how-to-get-working/#findComment-266642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aNILEator Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ok Do i only need those 2 kexts then? Not to be a pain or anything but It would be a great help to me (and any others) if you could provide the needed files in a .zip (presuming you still have them of course) Great help thanks a lot P.S. - I have the following Discs; JAS 10.4.7 AMD/Intel, 10.4.8 AMD SSE3 Combo Updater (old kernel I'm sure), 10.4.8 AMD TEST, 10.4.8 AMD FINAL, I shall use AMD Final to do your method if that is adequate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37221-x1600-pro-512mb-pci-e-how-to-get-working/#findComment-266652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaxMachine Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Unfortunately for the violation of the DMCA I cannot upload the two kext.

aNILEator Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Formatted Installed 10.4.8 AMD FINAL Installed Pacifist Downloaded 10.4.5 Extracted with pacifist ATINDRV.kext and IONDRVSupport.kext (I couldn't find a IONDRV.kext, so judging from other posts i assume you mean this one...) I'll wait for you to confirm next procedure before i continue In other words What shall I do next/I don't like touching terminal that much I have a feeling you want me to re-install 10.4.8 and customizing install with the atix1000 patch option.... (which I didn't do to install the system this time....)

~Neo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Install Natit_uni and put your device id in info.plist on ATIRadeonX1000.kext with this command This is NOT needed! The kexts are prepared that they detect the cards by itself. 0x71C01002&0xFFF0FFFF You see? It matches all 71C cards as X1600! cYa ~Neo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37221-x1600-pro-512mb-pci-e-how-to-get-working/#findComment-267073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aNILEator Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Same boat as me I've PM'd Neo but he has not replied yet (all tested with both VGA and VGA-2-DVI converter) I tried 10.4.5 kexts + boris - geforce = squares 10.4.5 kexts + natit - geforce = squares natit = kernel panic natit - geforce = squares boris = squares boris - geforce = squares 10.4.7 JaS DVD upgrade to 10.4.8 JaS DVD + ppf1 = back to 1024 x 768 no QE/CI etc I think it must be to do with the new kernel somehow 10.4.7 JaS dvd is great for me on resolutions etc, rubbish for compatibility and smoothness 10.4.8 is much improved compatibility/functionality but looks ugly, out of focus and i can't do video and graphics work like that would really appreciate a fix/help whatever soon, i wonder if Myzar or tubgirl will be releasing 10.4.9 anytime soon with suitable fixes, same for neo with natit 0.2 Edited January 23, 2007 by aNILEator Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37221-x1600-pro-512mb-pci-e-how-to-get-working/#findComment-282689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
