BobOki Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ok.... I have tried a couple of things to get QE/CI working. First, I have calistro running, and thats working well, I can change my resolution. I have tried both koverg patch and the all-in-one patch, show everything as being done correctly, but do not have QE/CI. This card is a x600 256meg pci-ex card, should work pretty blazingly. I HAD it working when I first installed 10.4.8 on this box.... but then when I added calistro everything died.... Any ideas?

dong Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I guess you are running on a desktop PC, otherwise there is a mobile x600 patch come with the JaS 10.4.8 DVD. I have a 256MB ATI X600 SE card (Device ID: 5b62). All patches you mentioned were tried, just won't get the resolution to 1280x1024. Now have to stick to original out of box driver and force the resolution to 1280x1024 by modifying the apple.boot.plist file. As you know, QE/CI are supported this way.

innit01 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have the same card (5b62), i have tried calistro and Koverg but when i go to change the resolution it says my monitor is "out of frequency". The i have to boot with -x and change it back. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. It looks like quite a few people are having issues with this card.

The i have to boot with -x and change it back. If it's the "out of frequency" problem, you may try this: open Callisto.kext/Contents/Info.plist, find the line: <key>CallistoUseAltPLLMethod</key> and change the following line from <false/> to <true/> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39557-x600-kicking-my-butt/#findComment-282715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
innit01 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I just got home and looked in Callisto.kext/Contents/Info.plist but i couldn't find <key>CallistoUseAltPLLMethod</key> Any ideas?

Based on the changelog, this key only exist in Callisto_b005 or maybe Callisto_b008.

relikwie Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have the card too in a gx620 desktop VID = 5b62 I have tried to find a solution, but lost it with al methods and patches etc.. Is there a solution yet? I havn't patched or modified anything yet as I am confused and dont want to break things. CI/QE works (with tearing), but low resolution. Is the resolution fixable? Oh, BobOki, saw you got your onboard sound working. Any chance you could tell me how? Thanks.

dong Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 My ATI X600 SE (5b62) is actually working now. Previously I failed simply because the S-Video cable was plugged. After unplug this cable, the card is working with Callisto008 patch with EDID data modified. QE/CI is supported again after koverg2.0 patch and CallistoFB thing.

BobOki Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I got my x600 working...... I just reinstalled then instead of using callisto or anything, I did a manual force screen size, and all is well. Yes, to get my sound working I ended up getting the id for my card... then I went to: cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext/Contents nano Info.plist I edited the ICh2 to look like: <string>AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x24458086 0x24358086</string> Where 0x2435 was my id. I saved my file.. then went back to : cd /System/Library/Extensions/ then did: chown -R root:wheel AppleAC97Audio.kext chmod -R 755 AppleAC97Audio.kext Then rebooted... woop sound working. That seems to work for MOST cards..... I have problems sometimes though depending on the pc... but 95% of the ones I worked on, this worked. Now I could not get the onboard one on THIS machine working and added some hunk o junk SB card to it..... it happens.
