Hi all Leopard 10.5 osx86 devs, experts and the like.

 

Apparently my fairly new install of 10.5 on my custom built PC seems to work (for the most part) however my System profiler mentions that Quartz Extreme as well as core image are both disabled and not working at all. I have actually hard modded (flashed) a 9600 ROM onto my original 9550 ATI built Radeon card. The flashing process had no errors. I did this with the assumption that it would help me get this whole thing working.

 

The system specs for this current machine are listed below.

 

But yeah, one thing is right though, I can change resolutions and hertz in System Pref -> Displays but no 3d acceleration yet, or so far.

 

I have, in the recent past, tried the following drivers:

 

1. Auto Install script for Callisto, Framebuffer and a certain replacement for ATIRadeon9700.kext. (various different times)

2. ATI Radeon 9600 Driver Installer package (from the Italiano section, after I flashed the video card.)

3. ATI Radeon 9550 Driver Installer Package (before I flashed the video card).

 

None of these configurations have worked thus far.

 

My computer specs are as follows:

 

Antec 900 Gaming Case

Pentium IV 2.4-B Ghz - 533 Mhz FSB - 512 KB L2 Cache

1 Gig Kingston DDR-400 (running at 333mhz) RAM

Sony DVD-RW Burner (writes CDs too)

3 120 GB Hard drives (360 GB total)

ATI Radeon 9550 256 MB Video Card (flashed to be a 9600 Pro XT, or similar, at least 9600)

Onboard AC'97 Audio (mobo supplied)

 

If there is any way in heck of getting this 10.5 working properly with full QE/CI please either PM me (on this forum) I'll find a way to reply back, or just email me:

 

the techno jedi @ gmail dot com.

 

It is as it looks. Except for no spaces and use @ instead.

 

Thanks!!!
