Hi everyone,

 

After days and nights of trying I've made it. I have ASRock ConRoe865PE Motherboard with Intel Celeron 352 (3.2GHz, Sck775, 512K, 533MHz), and Manli ATIRadeon 9600SE. To make this work out I had to (maybe not) flash Radeon with ATI BIOS. In fact originaly this card ID is 0x4151. With flashing is changed to 0x4150 (I saw some users with this ID had success). After instalation for the first time I saw intro animation , and in profiler I've seen that CI & QE are suported . Right away I have installed callisto driver 008 with this installer ATI_9600_C008_AGP.zip. After installing i had to reboot. No difference, nothing changed . But then, with little change i Have done it. went in system/library/extensions, found CallistoHAL.kext, right click on it - choose Show Package Content, right click on directory named contents, choose get info and set premissions so I can change it. Then I opened it, and opened with text edit application file named info.plist. Here I've changed ID of my Graphic card this way:

I pasted whole script to make it easier. Originally ID in this script is 0x4153........... so I changed it to mine. Saved changes, and cosed all. Then I started Terminal (utilities).Please follow exact these script and you may not fail. After every text line pres ENTER, than go to next line. At the end type exit, then enter. Here' script:

Open the terminal (application>utilities>terminal>

type sudo -s and then press enter (enter your password, then press enter - zou won' see anything during typeing password)ATI_9600_C008_AGP.zip

type chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/CallistoHAL.kext press enter

type chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/CallistoHAL.kext press enter

type rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

type rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext press enter

type exit press enter

Restart osx and (with F8) type -v press enter.

I hope you will see loading Callisto and supported resolution. If so, that's it.

this is my profiler:

P.S.

You may simple copy/paste script line into Terminal and don't forget press enter for each script line.

I will try that out tonight.

Are you getting any Artifacts or mouse tearing?

Yes, I have some. The only problem is I can't do the same with 10.4.8 - Problem seems to be caused by IOPCIFamily.kext.
