jonlevine Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I fubar'd my machine updating it with the latest Apple security updates (I should had left well enough alone). Luckily, I had a backup of my data, so I went about recreating my machine. My machine is an AMD Sempron 2800+, with a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. My first hackintosh was 10.4.5, updated to 10.4.8 (Jas combo updater). I was using Callisto and enable QE/CI with the "CallistoFB" trick in the ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin. This time around, I started with the same hardware, but downloaded Jas 10.4.7 AMD, installed it, and updated it to 10.4.8 using the same updater as above. I've got everything back to exactly where it was prior to the meltdown EXCEPT for QE/CI. I cannot get this to work. Callisto works perfectly, but every time I input "CallistoFB", I get a scrambled screen on reboot (see picture). I've tried every version of Callisto available, but nothing seems to help. The most frustrating thing is, it worked perfectly before (albeit with a little mouse tearing). Is there something in the 10.4.7 that would prevent me from being able to make this happen? Has anyone run into the same issue? I'm pulling my hair out because I just can't figure out what it is. Any and all help is appreciated.

bottleNeckKiller Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Did you try Borisbadenov's fix? If you did not try it you should try it. I believe this work and I had the same card.

jonlevine Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply. I thought Badenov was only for x1xxx cards and the like? I could be wrong, though, I haven't done this in a while. Do I need to remove the Callisto drivers before I install the Badenov? Thanks.

bottleNeckKiller Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) I think you want to remove those files that are specific to callisto (file names like callisto.xxx) just to get a clean system but do not remove system file. You should ignore all what I just said because I got all my cards mix up, sorry!

joe75 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 You have to use the 10.4.5 ATi kexts unless you use 4.8 new kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?2nqwdjqxqmm Add the kext and sudo chown and chmod on Extensions/* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40550-qeci-gone-on-reinstall/#findComment-289782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlevine Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks Joe for the files. Just so I'm sure: Drop everything from the download into /system/library/extensions then sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/* sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40550-qeci-gone-on-reinstall/#findComment-289784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 then sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions* Repair permissions and make sure to put in your dev id Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40550-qeci-gone-on-reinstall/#findComment-289842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlevine Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks for your help Joe, but unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue. I reinstalled the Callisto drivers using the ones included with the link you sent. Replaced all of the kexts on my system with the ones that were included in that file. Inputed my dev id and changed the IONDRVFrameBuffer to CallistoFB, sudo and chown'd, repaired permissions and rebooted. I am now able to boot without the scrambled screen, but still do not have QE/CI. Man, this is driving me nuts!
