kernalzero Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 some people have no trouble installing the radeon x1300 256mb pro. The install recognizes it with QE & CI but there tend to be resolutions problems, which seem to be easily resolved by natit drivers. Diabolik has been working on x1x00 kext files and has released them including one for the x1300. My x1300 hasn't been so lucky, it's a pulled card from a dell optiplex and I'm having the worst time getting it to work, best I got was max resolution without QE or CI which blows. anyway here is diabolik's threads: My Natit Site, Diabolik's x1600kext. hope this helps some Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-320614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernalzero Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 can we all start posting deviceIDs in the future, I'm guilty also. It'll make knowing what works and what doesn't easier. mine's: Radeon X1300 Series: Chipset Model: Radeon X1300 Series Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x7183 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-322657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddew Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Here's my card, reschange works but high contrast and no QE/CI: Radeon X1300 Series: Chipset Model: Radeon X1300 Series Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x7183 If I manually add the Device ID to ATIRadeonX1000.kext the system kernel panics.

kernalzero Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 ddew - that's the exact same thing that happens to me...if you come across any solution please PM, I'll do the same if I find anything. I have tried diabolik's natitx1300.kext and it's a no go. v2 causes bootup to start at the login startup phase (i never actually get past the apple spinning logo, or startup in verbose mode) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-322707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Some problem. High contrast and no QE/CI.

ddew Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Been messing around with the various .kext's out there and the best I can get is resolution change without any acceleration at all. Video playback won't work although the display seems faster than VESA. I'm starting to wish that there were GMA X3000 drivers available so I could use my integrated video instead.

Virgo Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I hope. I also have GMA X3000 on motherboard. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-322747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 it'll come i imagine the x3000 will replace the gma950 in the next gen of macbooks...still would prefer to use my x1300 over my gma950...more power Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-322757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddew Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'd be happy to just have a working system where I can watch video etc. So far it's the only thing holding this Dell E520 back.

DivideOverflow Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey, I have devID 7183 too...Can't get it to work at all, my installation DVD has X1X00 PCI-E drivers, I tried modifying the kext with my device ID but kernel panic as listed in posts above...Been PMing DiaboliK and no joy still (he suggests flashing the BIOS to another version but I searched online and couldn't find much, plus it's risky...) I've got a Dell Dimension 9200 aka XPS 041, this beast can't wait for OSX...If only I could get it working! I can't access USB drive with single user mode, and am unsure of how to copy files anyway (I'm new to this Darwin/OSX86 business, reminds me of the good ol' days of MS-DOS 3.11)...Any help much appreciated! Forgot to mention, my machine reboots after spinning wheel screen...verbose mode shows 'display: specific family matching failed' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44771-ati-x-1300-pro-256mb/#findComment-333022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=49112 Hopefully diabolik will finally shed some like on the x1300 problems!
