kansei-sensei Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Buying a new card works fine until you consider the number of people trying to get this working on Radeon mobility cards So I have a T42 (with a 9600pro) where the os and wired ethernet works, but graphics support is awful. then I have a core2duo Dell D620 that you have to run single core 32-bit, QE/CI works fine (nvidia quadro 110m), but the 'welcome wizard' is in an endless loop because the two intel cards (3945 and pro1000) don't work haha. I guess the D620 is the better choice here. definitely good input thestevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXcalibUr88 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 are their any real macs with the same card that we have that can also run leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJbs Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm with you! Just installed KALYWAY LEOPARD 10.5.1 intel SSE2 and SSE3 today on my good old HP nx8220. It's nearly perfect hardware for leopard Everything works - sound, ethernet, bluetooth, but not x600 =( It is 3510/1002. So if we'll find the solution I'll be very happy. BTW. I didn't patched anything to change resolution, i've just edited boot file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@60</string> And that's all! (If you don't need acceleration You just need to take care about @60 (frequency), it's ~90 hz by default so LCD won't show anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username931 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Buying a new card works fine until you consider the number of people trying to get this working on Radeon mobility cards So write to apple. Take a look back at post number 80 in this thread. It has been done, but only with the beta version of Leopard. You might want to start a new thread and post a link, and/or have a moderator split this one off into a new thread. There was actually serious progress up until a point, after which this thread became pure speculation. I would say after page 6-7 there is nothing but garbage in this thread. You might as well solder a new graphics card into your laptop than write a new driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xavier2 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 seems the 9700GLDriver from the Apple's newest graphich update is still only for PPC Mac not Intels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goopnzaopleopz9 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Okay, so far, we know that the cards are CAPABLE of running QE/CI. We just need a proper plugin. If we compare the PPC plugin with the Intel one, What exactly would have to be changed in to make the PPC one work with Intel systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numberonekiwi Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Is there anyone there who has got DVD Player to actually open with out crashing (before loading a DVD) It is the first time I have been able to do this in 10.5.2 so not sure if it is progress or I am behind everyone else I feel every time I try something I progress 1/2 step forward and 2 backwards with other issues but I will keep trying CI is still software and QE is supported RES change is supported (THNX to Callisto) as well as QE (using 006) I am going to try other versions in the next few days but Today I was still surprised at DVD player application loading (not playing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shako Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I hate to rain on all of your parades, but 1) your wasting your time as decided by everyone else who has tried this and netkas. 2) You'll probably have a better sense of what has been done in the past if you read the whole thread, otherwise your just going to be wasting time doing things that other people have already tried.

Jase Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 So any progress on this?.. I just got iATKOS and i found that my display driver - ATI Radeon 9600 256MB is not supported in any Leopard. I am thinking if I should just get a new gfx card.. if so, which one? But also; Can I install tiger (uphuck) which comes with Callisto 08b and then, install leopard to see if it lets me use callisto drivers in Leopard? I am new to this and I am really stuck. Please anyone..reply back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Delight Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 There is currently no way to get hardware acceleration working for Radeon 9x00 cards in Leopard to enable video playback. Period. This is a dead end. Read this thread if you have questions. Purchasing a new card, as you suggested, is your best bet. Otherwise, stick with Tiger. Check the HCLs at http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for help finding a compatible card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
