chico_stang Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Did you do a clean install? If not, do it. That's another possible solution. I think you have installed many drivers and perhaps there are conflicts or something. I say this because after you update to 10.5.3, you're card won't be recognized until you install Modbin's 10.5.3 package. Follow the installer instructions, and then edit the file he suggests in the installer, and then reboot. That should be enough for your card to be fully recognized, cause here it did with no problems. Also, if you're computer boots, but when loading the desktop shows a white or black screen, that means either that it wasn't installed correctly, or you are using DVI instead of VGA.

Colask8 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 with VGA cable same problem black screen , i really dont know what's the problem about, i have Asus ATI Radeon x1650 PRO SILENT 512mb DDR2 on PCIe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico_stang Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Strange. Although you card is not exactly the same as mine, it belongs to the same family (X1650), so it should work. If you've done everything we've told you in this thread, and still can't get it to work, I'm afraid I can't help you. I do not know what could be the problem.

Also, if you're computer boots, but when loading the desktop shows a white or black screen, that means either that it wasn't installed correctly, or you are using DVI instead of VGA. Well, I did a fresh install of Zephy 10.5.2 r2. I installed the 10.5.4 update via Zephy ASU (10.5.3 no longer available as standalone). I installed modbin's 10.5.3 pkg. I edited the ATIRadeonX1000.kext to use 71C7. Authenticated, Saved, Repaired Permissions, Rebooted. Using VGA output for monitor, booted using variations of -v -x -s. All produce white screen and freeze upon loading of LoginWindow. I'm out of ideas here, as it booted once previously using the above method, but after a reboot all was lost. I restored the kexts, but it's back to square one. I'm going to patch the kernel to modbin's 9.4.0 to see if that helps. Doubt it, but it's worth a shot. My last stand before I buy an Nvidia.

Did you install any graphics drivers when installing the system? You should not. Anyway, I recommend trying with Leo4All, and if that doesn't work, buy another video card.

Sean222 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Would appreciate anyone who could help me out ! My Graphic Card Config. Sapphire x1650 pro PCI-E GDDR3 256mb GPU: RV530 Dual DVI plug-in Vendor ID: 1002 Device ID: 0x71c6 (primary) 0x71e6 (secondary) Expected Monitor resolution: 1440x900x32@60hz OSX Version Kalyway 10.5.2 Mother Board Gigabyte P965 DS4 version 2 ICH8R Bios Version: 11H Have already tried all methods mentioned in this thread & other threads with no success Not until I changed the Device ID to 0x71c6 on ATIRadeonX1000.kext, Natit.kext & other .kext from a patch of ATI 1950 pro by using Kozlowski's method (no hex editing was done) Now, QE/CI is enabled but the screen resolution is still stuck at 1024x768 (resolution can only be changed to 1152x864 if the com.apple.boot.plist is amended with <string>”Graphics Mode”=”1440x900x32”</string> Could someone provide me with a detail instruction on solving this out Is DVI output really impossible for this graphic card ?

Haven’t tried Bronya’s drivers yet….. Thank you Go get SwitchResX (as I mention in the first post) and set it to your resolution. You might have to enter a Custom resolution in case you dont get the correct output, like Front Porch, Back Porch etc.) You can get these numbers by booting to Windows, running Powerstrip, then manually enter them to a Custom Resolution Mode in SwitchResX for Mac.

Thanks for your reply ! I'll try it as you suggested I reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 again (a clean installation) & updated to 10.5.3 with Kalyway installer. I used Modbin's drivers this time & amended all 71c0 to 71c6 along with hex-editing. Everything goes fine but I've got other problems ..... 1) "cursor glitch" right after the QE/CI has been enabled 2) "rotation" remains disabled Just to share my experience ..... I've found that no matter what particular driver patch is being used, 71c6 (or whatever the device ID is) amendment must be done manually or you'll get an ever-ending black screen at boot up. My only solution to get back to the home screen is to use -v -x -f Once the ATIRadeon X1000.kext is recognized by the system as main driver of the display, any insertion of Natit will be useless and you'll get another black screen (I've tried that many times) why is that ???? Now, my OSX is running pretty smooth but I'll try as many times as it requires to get things go better ....like DVI output....I'm sure there must be a way to work this out Hope you could help me with #1 & #2 ....thanks again!

Denicio Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 How come u need to edit your 0x71C6 Modbin patch since it is made for this specific iD? And also, I had experienced the Mouse tearing issue when I only had modified the ATiRadeonX1000.kext myself and didn't install Modbin's package first. Dunno if that's your case. As for rotation it is always enabled in my case, can't help you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico_stang Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sean, if you have 10.5.3 installed, you need Modbin's 10.5.3 package. After you install it, you only need to modify ATIRadeonX1000.kext, finding "0x71C6" and replacing it with your Device ID. If your Device ID is the same (71c6) there is no need to replace it, and so you don't have to modify anything. Also, why did you replace 71c0 with 71c6? You don't have to. That's probably what is causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colask8 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 OmG i was so stupid i just needed to use D-sub splitter for VGA, now i have all resolutions, but, QE and Rotations still won't work EDIT:ok, now i have rotations, but i dont have QE... And if some1 can tell me what is rotation, QE, i mean they r for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean222 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sean, if you have 10.5.3 installed, you need Modbin's 10.5.3 package.

That's probably what is causing the problem. I did install Modbin's 10.5.3 without any changes several times and got black screen again & again. I did not choose either Vanila or Modbin 9.3.0 kernel. Here's what happened after using -v I just don't get it. I'd checked the device ID of all kexts & found nothing wrong including the <string>1.5.28.21 (5280)</string>. Permissions were also repaired. Perhaps, something's wrong with steps of initial installation of Kalyway or its' 10.5.3 upgrade ?! But I just did a plain & clean shot (no extra driver whatsoever was installed). So weird ..... I've also tried Kozlowski's suggestion to adjust the resolution by SwitchResX .....but no luck even with DisplayConfigX. I got a headache so big that I couldn't think of any reasons for this One thing I've found pretty interesting is that the GPU written in the kext for Sapphire ATI x1650 pro is RV535 instead of RV530. Mine is difinitely a RV530 as confirmed with Everest. Something must have been messing up there ! Any suggestions or elaborations....please provide..... as I will keep trying....'cause OSX is really something ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
