Hello. This is my first post on InsanelyMac. Well, okey, heres my situation:

 

CPU: Intel Celeron D 3.2 Ghz (profiler says 4) (fully working)

RAM: 1 GB (Fully working)

MB: Asus ProActive P5GPL (Fully working, sound, network (Marvell Yucom GigaBit++)

HD: 200 GB PATA. (Fully Working)

GPU: Sapphire Radeon x1300 512 MB PCIe (partially.)

OS: Mac OS X 10.4.6 pathced DVD.

 

Almost everything worked straigt out of the box.... I Read the HCL for 10.4.6 and all my hardware should be suppoerted,

Well, the only difference is the GPU listed there wich are a Sapphire Radeon x1300 256 MB PCIe.

But since they are using same chip, i thought it would be piece of cake. Well i was wrong (sorry, OS X noob :unsure: )

The card is detected as a ATI x1300 Series. With 256 MB ram (yes, it only detect half of the vram, but that is actually not a problem for me). On the fresh install, i couldnt even change resolution or Hz stuck at 1024x768 @ 60 Hz. I searched around on the forum, and i read about Natit, wich should fix this and enable QE/CI. So i installed, and everything went well with the installer (yes used a install package dont remeber which, will add it as soon as i have time to check.) Now i could change resolution and Hz, but still QE/CI. So i cant even watch movies. I thought Natit supported x1300 (it does). And i have read about other users who have manged to get this card going, but their ways didnt seem to work for me :unsure: . If someone could help me, i would be extremely grateful. I really need to get this going. Going to a LAN-Party in a week, and want to show it of to my linux buddies. But also for my personal use. I wathces a lot of movies, and really needs this.

 

If you have any suggestions, anything at all, please help me. (dont be afraid of postig som kext modifying or terminal codes, becuase i have used *nix for several years, and feel quite comfortable in terminal.)

Thanks in advance.
