Hi,

I installeed mac os x on my pc and everything works well, except the gfx. With the Natit Drivers by Diabolik I was able to change the resolution, but when I try to add my device ID (0x71c3) + Vendor ID (0x1002) to the ATIRadeonX1000.kext Info.plist (Dunno if it's the right name but i think) I get a Kernel Panic on booting

 

I've searched the forums, found a few threads about that GFX Card but I couldn't find a solution for that problem!

 

Is there someone who uses this GFX Card? If yes plz help me...

 

thank you

there aren't too many major differences between 10.4.6 and the new versions! you could just stick with that for now until someone can find a solution. OR you could use 10.4.6, get the card working and see if you could upgrade from there to the newer version! just make sure to make a backup of your install in case the upgrade doesn't work. =)

Just to support what phanguy is saying, it might be worth installing 10.4.6, the WHOLE system, not just the kexts, and see if you can get your card working following the guides....

 

The reason I suggest this is that I have been through a similar situation as you, installing on a Sony VAIO with a mobility radion (I know, I know, not the same card as you but bear with me). It was pure hell getting my video card to support the native resolution and QE/CE, but by following some of the guides here, I finally cracked it, using 10.4.8....

 

So I thought I would try and install 10.4.10 and apply the same patches, but guess what, they wouldn't work!!!! No matter which way I tried (and believe me I tried), no luck... So I simply went back and reinstalled 10.4.8, did all the usual fiddling, then copied out every single kext starting with the initials ATI, and then reinstalled 10.4.10, and copied back the ATI kexts from my old working 10.4.8 install, and voila, everything is fully up and running in 10.4.10... so there is real value in what phanguy is saying...

 

It's tedious as hell, but sometimes you just have to go the long way round....

 

Good luck, hope you find a way to crack it.
