imzxh Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Did you do "mount -uw /" first? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6822-problem-cannot-delete-ati-kext/#findComment-42944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
devDelay Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) first of all don't delete them, just move them to Extensions.disabled folder, done. #sudo mv /System/Library/Extenstions/ATI*.kext /System/Library/Extensions.disabled second I read everyone saying to do this...I did this and it hasn't changed a thing because the system will not load these kexts anyway. Has anyone ever got them to load because I think if you have ATI the driver is loaded as generic hardware. Am I wrong or is there working support for ATI video and audio. I have Radeon 9000 IGP and I tried editing ATIRadeon8500 with no avail.
