NeoSkedar Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So, I was able to get my card recognized as a 512mb card and im able to change my screen resolutions to whatever i want. However, i still dont seem to have QE support and my CI says software. Here is what my graphics adapter shows: ATI Radeon X1800 Series: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon X1800 Series Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x7100 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: E17T4W: Resolution: 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected All I want is QE to work so I can use imovie, FCS, and even play some games like wow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search the forum for more info about editing plists inside kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoSkedar Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I dont have an atix1000.kext file. i have an atiradeonx1000.kext and i put my device id of 0x7100 in there already. Its weird that my card is fully recognized but still no CE/CI. Maybe its just not possible with this particular card?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadeef Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have the 256mb variant of this videocard and for 10.4.5 (Tiger) I only have half QE+CI supported, which means i dont get the flippy effect on widgets. Im not sure if the card is supported in leopard but it was only half supported in Tiger with graphic artifacts. I believe the x1800 series core is too different from the other 1000 series Radeons that are supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snerler Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The x1800XT is supported perfectly in Tiger. I have the card and its both QE and CI. I havent updated to Leopard yet, but I read that its also fully suppoted there also. (At least the 256 MB version) dadeef, I suggest you look around for the boris badenov (sp?) meathod. Also it may be your 10.4.5 version of Tiger is too old. 10.4.8 and later releases have full support for this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Xero Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I've managed to get mine working with full support - I used the method using ATIinject and HEX editing the ATIRadeon kexts - its in the Genius Bar (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirc Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am also curious about what is needed to get an x1800 working in 10.5.2 with QE/CI. I am using Leo4All, and I have gotten my x1800 to at least let me change the resolution, however I cannot get QE or CI working. I used Natit.kext, renamed it to ATIRadeonX1000.kext. I had no ATIRadeonX1000.kext to modify, I assumed I had to just replace it with the Natit.kext. I'm not sure if that is what is meant by entering Natit.kext into ATIRadeonX1000.kext. The device ID in my ATIRadeonX1000.kext are correct to my x1800. I also followed the BorisBadenov method as much as I could. Some steps I could not change, more specifically modifying ATINDRV.kext. Anything else I should try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
