Ooze3d Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi all, I just installed OSX on my computer. Almost everything works but I need help with my graphics card. I've got an Ati HD2900XT 512mb. I know it's a pretty recent one but maybe using some kind of standard ati driver for PCIe cards... All I need is 1920x1200 resolution at 32bit and opengl. I'm asking too much am I not? I don't know anything about OSX86 yet but I learn fast. I say this because I'm reading lots of things about getting hardware to work in the forum and I don't understand half of it so if I have to edit files and change permissions, please tell me how to do it. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56486-his-ati-hd2900xt-impossible-yet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
delish Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 At post if it says VESA 3.0 and sees much VRAM you can try setting "graphics mode"="1920x1200x32" no chance for core image, quartz Extreme or openGL before apple starts selling x2X00 HD cards or puters with them.

Windows RG Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I Dont think natit or titan works withthe x2*** series cards either just too new. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56486-his-ati-hd2900xt-impossible-yet/#findComment-403590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooze3d Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Ok. How can I do the "graphics mode" thing? What do I have to edit? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56486-his-ati-hd2900xt-impossible-yet/#findComment-403597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows RG Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Well its quite simple. boot up the machine and keep pressing F8 until an OS X boot screen pops up telling hard drive info and telling boot parameters such as -x and -v. once youre there type "graphics mode"="1920x1200x32" with the quoataion marks. and hit enter. you should boot up into tht resolution. but no QE/CI will be enabled. you might want to try some new Natit releases just to test it out but dont get your hopes up. p.s QE and CI are the same as DirectX and Open GL in windows. Without those you cant do much graphical stuff. what chipset does your mobo have? i could have QE/CI enabled.

Ooze3d Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 BJMoose told me I needed to flash the rom in order to have the card working. Is it difficult? How can I do it?

Ooze3d Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Any news? Now I have 1600x1200x32 but I can't get to 1920x1200. Everything looks stretched and I still need QE/CI. I guess I still have to wait... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56486-his-ati-hd2900xt-impossible-yet/#findComment-409332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
