fOZf8 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Just curious if there is any way to tweak the x1600s in OS X, aside from when in a 3d environment, is there any way to control global aliasing, antistropics, and what not?I see there is an ATI control panel for the older cards, up through the x800...but none afterwards?

Dr. Heckles Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 There is a good chance this will work: http://floam.sh.nu/guides/atidisplays Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44566-mbp-x1600-applet-or-control-panel/#findComment-319755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fOZf8 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 aye ,thanks, thats wicked groovy...seems I keep messing it up though...something with the replacing the sysctl part I must be messing up Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44566-mbp-x1600-applet-or-control-panel/#findComment-320185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Download the latest X1900 G5 driver from ATI. Now we need to trick the installer into thinking we have a PowerMac G5. The installer will use sysctl to check the hw.model attribute. We are just going to temporarily replace the sysctl binary with something that always outputs what we want. Copy it somewhere safe. sudo cp /usr/sbin/sysctl /usr/sbin/sysctl.real open in text edit sysctl select all and cut it then add in just #!/bin/sh echo "PowerMac11,2" Make it executable sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/sysctl Run the installer just like anyone would. Put the real sysctl back: sudo mv /usr/sbin/sysctl.real /usr/sbin/sysctl done. Sadly it does not work...

Dr. Heckles Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Which mac and video card do you have? Same as original poster? I have been told it works on an iMac with the X1600, in addition to the Mac Pro.

fOZf8 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I hope so...I love my new macbookP, but I'll be damned if anti-aliasing isnt screaming for me to install xp on it...

fOZf8 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I used nano, other's have suggested pico...I'm sure there are more options as well, I just don't know them myself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44566-mbp-x1600-applet-or-control-panel/#findComment-345622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fobis Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This just doesn't work on Core2 Duo MBP's at the moment. Every success story I've read about this on MBP's have been Core Duo MBP's, and every report I've seen on Core 2 Duo MBP's have been failures. Has to do with the EFI ROM version, I believe.
