eyecrax Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 So I've built this hackintosh box for a friend using a MSI 945gm3-f mobo (has a GMA950 onboard), she received an ATI (powercolor brand I think) x700 pci-x card free from a friend for this project. uphuck 10.4.9 installs just fine, my problem is getting a video driver that will work with the x700 at 1440x900 (grrr, i really wish she hadn't purchased a widescreen LCD). I've been trying to use the Callisto drivers b003-8 with no success thus far. I'm sure I'll probably need to edit the radeon9700 kext and the ati kext but havn't really got that far yet and thought I'd ask for some advise before I began. If i recall correctly the device id is 5e4d. I've been reading up on the x300-800 install guides and none really seem to have a definative solution. So my questions are... how difficult will this be to get working/can it work @ 1440x900? Should i just give up and use the GMA950/ does the GMA950 work at 1440x900 without any/much effort? Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62395-pci-x-ati-x700-1440x900-driver-help-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisvj Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have a widescreen lcd and with the normal vga port didnt get 1440x900 but once I put it on the dvi port the resolution was there . If you dont have a dvi port maybe you can try switchresx to add the resolucion manually. http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/About.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62395-pci-x-ati-x700-1440x900-driver-help-needed/#findComment-441953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
