Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to Macs in general. After about a dozen re-installs of my JaS 10.4.8 DVD, I finally got to version 10.4.10! I tried to watch a movie with DVD Player, but I get an error message saying it could not find a valid video device for playback. Here are my specs:

 

OS: Mac OS X (x86) v.10.4.10

Computer: HP Pavilion zd8205us

Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon x600

(Here's what it says on System profiler:)

Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) (PCIE):

Chipset Model: Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) (PCIE)

Type: Display

Bus: PCIe

VRAM (Total): 128 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x3150

Revision ID: 0x0000

Displays:

Color LCD:

Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Not Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

 

I assume that the problem is CI and QE not being enabled, but I could be wrong. I've searched the forum for a fix for this, but I can't find anything that I can understand. (Terminal isn't exactly my thing :thumbsup_anim: ). Does ANYBODY know how I can fix this with easy-to-follow instructions? Thanks!

UPDATE: I tried using the koverg patch on another partition with 10.4.6, and it worked, but there's no way to change the resolution. Here's what I learned...

 

- The 10.4.6 partition has only the koverg-patched ATIRadeon9700.kext (No Callisto Drivers, and no resolution changes are possible) The card is identified as a generic VGA Display with CI/QE working, but I can't change resolutions.

 

- The 10.4.10 partition has the Callisto.kext and CallistoHAL.kext installed. I have control of the resolution, but no CI/QE. The card is identified as an ATI x600. Patching the ATIRadeon9700.kext does nothing.

 

 

My question: Does anyone know how to modify the Callisto kexts to enable CI/QE? Or is there any other way around this? PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! :(

My first post here, Ive done tons of searching and seem to have gotten myself to the same point as Goopnzaopleopz9. I also have an ATi Radeon x600 Mobility with Device ID: 0x3150. Tried Kovergs patch on 10.4.8 and 10.4.10 to no result. Any pointers?? thanks!
