Multi-Video Driver Installer

I made this little installer using PackageMaker. It has most of the popular video drivers, such as Natit, Titan, and Callisto. Simply download, mount, and install the driver of your choice.

 

MAKE SURE TO INSTALL ONLY 1 DRIVER

Includes all of the drivers in the above picture.

 

Thanks to DiaboliK, Prasys, and Omni.

Please notify me of any bugs as soon as possible, so they can be fixed (although, there shouldn't be any)!

Actually, DiaboliK told me to put it in here, so I assume this is almost the right section.

 

I have your old avatar? O_o

I personally don't need it, but I have a friend who just got started with his first ihack and hsas been looking for drivers for his ati x800. This will be a blast for him, double click and install. Thanks for your work!!

Natit v.02, probably.

 

Edit: I ran into someone who used this, they said repairing permissions afterwords didn't work. However, chmod does work This time, make sure you do chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*.

Great program idea! thank you!. However I just tried to install the natit driver and got the following error upon restart:

 

"/system/library/extentions/natit.kext was installed improperly"

 

Here are my basic installation steps.

 

1. Downloaded multi-video diver .dmg file from link above

2. Saved .dmg to desktop

3. Ran .dmg file to start installation

4. Program starts, selected only netit v2

5. Finished install

6. Opened terminal and tried the chmod command as remm suggested above.. seemingly this command did not fix any permissions (got an error on every file for permission change)

7. Ran disk utilies -> fix permissions (no permissions changed here either)

8. Reboot jas os x 10.4.8 ..

9. Error message "/system/library/extentions/natit.kext was installed improperly"

 

System Config

Dell 8600, Nvidia 5200 gfx card

 

Again, i'm guessing the error is rooted in a flawed install process or my inablity to chmod correctly after a successful install. I am new at this so perhaps I am vastly wrong in my analysis. Any helpful ideas? I can privide more information if needed.

 

thank you

heres how to do it:

 

open terminal :

sudo -s
(your pass)
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo chmod -R 755 <name>.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel <name>.kext
diskutil repairPermissions /

 

now reboot and all should be well again

hey im trying to fix a setup at work. its a p4 i think running a agp fx5200. i know dual monitor isnt supported with this card. so i went and got a matching fx5200 pci card for the 2nd screen, but when i have both cards plugged in i get a kernel panic on boot... i didnt install any drivers and my agp worked with qe/ci out of the box, running 10.4.9 with 8.8.1 kernel. wondering if any of your drivers can help remedy this prob?

I have specs almost identical to Crash 4419. I also have the Lenovo Thinkpad T60P with the FireGL 5250 and I've been extremely hardpressed to find a working solution.

I've yet to find any edits that work with my device ID (0x71D41002). No QE/CI support, and no support for the native resolution of the screen - 1680x1050.

 

ANY Help would be great! I'll be sure to keep all the other T60P Widescreen owners out there updated if I find a solution.

 

Thanks,

P2

 

I do not mean to bug you in anyway but I have yet to find a solution to the ATI FireGL 5250 on my T60P. I tried the solution here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry284741 , but I am unsure on how to edit the Info.Plist.

 

Does your mobility driver work? If so how do I use it?
