Load Callisto driver

[duckpond]

I have installed JaS 10.4.8 natively on a Dimension 9200, which has ATI Radeon x600.

 

Of course I got 1024x768 out of the box;-) Fine, went ahead installed Callisto b008 (and all other versions), followed instruction to the letters. Reboot, nothing happened, as if I did not installed any thing, still can't change resolution. I then checked Extensions in the Profiler, and don't see Callisto listed there, manually loaded with kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/Callisto.kext, report loading successfully.

 

I suspect somehow the system is not able to load the package at boot time, then I add the above line in to the top of /etc/rc file, on next rebooting, I saw the message says loading Callisto.kext is a success.

 

Weird part: Callisto is still not listed in the Profiler -> Extensions, I did manual loading again, and report says it was a success again. Only if I do a second manual loading, the message will say that "Callisto is already loaded".

 

My question: why is Callisto not loaded at boot time? even though I added the manual loading command in the /etc/rc file?

 

p.s. I am new to Mac but not new to linux, so consider myself understand Omni's instruction hence followed w/o error.

 

A side question:

1. The card has 256MB, but system reports 128MB;

 

2. I have not even tried koverg's patch but QE and CI are already there:
