ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB Retail 0x4e441002

[shoe79]

Some background first, as I've read pages and pages of posts, searched endlessly for days and finally found Pags' post at (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=55534) and applied some of the principles in that post and thought I would get somewhere, but i'm still stuck.

 

I'm running uphuck 10.4.9 1.4i r3, and have graphics in VESA on my ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Retail (0x4e441002). I've modified the built-in osx atiradeon9700.kext, modified agpgart.kext (2.2), but i'm still stuck in VESA. Although the system profiler shows atiradeon9700.kext being installed:

BUS: AGP

VRAM (TOTAL): 128MB

Under System Profiler -> Software -> Extensions I see ATIRadeon9700.kext and the following:

 

ATIRadeon9700:

Version: 1.4.40

Get info string: ATI Radeon 9700 1.4.40.4 (3952)

kext version: 4.4.0

So what are the mods?

 

ATIRadeon9700.kext Added the line:

<key>com.apple.kpi.bsd</key>

<string>8.0.0</string>

 

AGPGart.kext replaced:

<string>pciclass,060400</string>

 

with

 

<array>

<string>pci10de,e2</string>

<string>pciclass,060400</string>

</array>

 

I've tried following Omni's callisto instructions to the letter but ended up getting a panic crash. I've since reinstalled uphuck completely and started over.

 

My ideal scenario would be to have qe/ci running on the 9700 Pro, although osx86 is running nicely as it is.

 

My backup at this point is a HIS Radeon 9550, or a MSI Nvidia MX400, neither of which I'm too thrilled about installing.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Where did you get these instructions? I'm trying to get my ATI X700pro PCIe working properly. (Other than VESA mode)
