UPD:

10.5.8

Kernel: 9.8.0

Never use Atiinject together with Natit, and never use 2 instances of Natit ...

Try this tyanshow_Natit.zip there are 2 instances of Natit (use them separately) if one is working no need for the other one, also use the updated and patched kexts for 10.5.8 from here

 

Up righteye !! -_-

Try this AkdM_New_Natit.zipRemember there are 2 instances of Natit; use them separately ... and the files for 10.5.8 update

your device id please ... then i can help you

also if you want to edit the info.plist inside atiinject just use Property List Editor then you will find a string called LVDS,EDID ... there you must put the EDID in the same < > as it is the other one

i got another question...

what is the most accurate way of obtaining EDID info...

what program do u use under OSX and under windows

 

it seems that he Edid i gave u above is incorrect..Different to windows...

The EDID must be extracted from Windows and with the proper drivers installed using Phoenix EDID Designer

As regarding the mouse artifacts ... hmmm ... possible to be from the EDID or from Atindrv that is not patched. It is just my guess.

ok i fixed the resolution and the MOuse cuorsor it was the EDID which was bad i used the tool you specified earlier to get the correct EDID and put it atiinject and

 

BAM! full resolution everything working full hardware Acceleration etc..

but one PROBLEm

 

after like 3 mins the screen starts to glitch and shake ..

how do i know my ATINdrv.kext and radeonx1000.kext etc is patched correctly ...

i just downloaded it from first page and used Kext helper to install

if you have acceleration and native resolution that means all the files are correct patched ... the glitch and shake ... hum, that is odd ... how about in another operating system ? hope is not a hardware failure or a bad connection somewhere ... try everything that has to do with permissions and kextcache, it might help.

try a different atindrv from someone else ... mine was prepared initially to recognize the 512MB of my video card so there could be a problem

the files supplied in the first postfor 10.5.8 dont work...

the ATIradeonx1000.kext there is not place in that file to put your EDID..

4ATINdrv.zip..

 

the file is not even complied properly to KEXT format...it is just a zip file with a folder inside..

 

to fik...

add .kext extension at the end of atindrv vfolder.

install atiradeonx1000.kext

 

also use the atiinjection from older packages....

 

WORKING in 10.5.8 :P

Although it is working it is not very usable...

the x1700 with 256MB VRAM will not work as in my case..

 

if u do anything that uses a bit of Vram the screen will start glitching with lines across the screen..

and wont go away until you reboot..

 

not sure what the problem is...dont know where to find atindrv for 256MB x1700

Hi ! It's me again :)

 

I've tried to enable Quartz Extreme, but no ways... On Apple>About This Mac>More...>Video Card it says that my card is not compatible with Quartz Extreme, but, some have this to work with the same card O.O ...

Why not me ?

 

Thanks for reply ;)

Thanks :D

Thanks ;)

for dual screen you have to add this:

<key>DFP1,EDID</key><data>and here goes the EDID for the second display</data>

right under ore above the

<key>LVDS,EDID</key><data>and here goes the EDID for the internal display</data>

in the info.plist of the injector (atiinject or natit or evoenabler)

after that you have to boot with the displays connected and never do the "detect displays" thing

Thanks righteye ! It works !

 

And, for my 1st question: How can I force enable Quartz Extreme ?

So ... your system is 10.5.8

device id is 71D5

you get the native resolution

but you can not get the Quartz Extreme

What is says about Core Image (is something like Software supported ?)

Try this files and use KextHelper to install the files. Just drag and drop the files after you decompress the archive. After that do not reboot ... from Utilities ... Disk Utility ... do a repair permissions on your root drive.

It must work

Cheers
