Jaw3000 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Is there any way to enable Quartz Extreme on the ATI Radeon 2600 XT Pro? I have the proper kexts from IRC installed and working great, but Quartz Extreme is not enabled. Maybe this can't be done, but I thought I would ask. Thanks!

naddy69 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Did you enter your Device ID in the info.plist in the X2000.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw3000 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I checked the info.plist file, and it appeared that the device ID (as shown in System Profiler) was already entered. System Profiler reports the following: Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2600 Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9588 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B2250F-207 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.207 Displays: L90D+ DVI: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected In info.plist: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x94001002 0x94011002 0x94021002 0x94031002 0x95811002 0x95831002 0x95881002 0x94c81002 0x94c91002 0x95891002 0x94c31002 0x94c11002</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw3000 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Can anyone provide any assistance to getting Quartz Extreme enabled? It appears that the model is already listed in the info.plist in the X2000.kext? System Profiler reports the following: Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9588 In info.plist: <key>IOPCIMatch</key><string>0x94001002 0x94011002 0x94021002 0x94031002 0x95811002 0x95831002 0x95881002 0x94c81002 0x94c91002 0x95891002 0x94c31002 0x94c11002</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddy69 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 There are 2 sets of files on the irc - the Triakis 2400 2600 2900 driver and the 2600 ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle OpenGL fix. Did you install both? Did you delete Extensions.mkext? Although in your case since your DevID is already 9588 you probably don't need the 2600 ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle OpenGL fix. That is for the 2600 Pro version of the card with DevID 9589. This is the card I have and I needed this file. You should just have to install Triakis, delete Extensions.mkext, repair permissions and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw3000 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have installed both sets of drivers and the OpenGL fix, and did exactly what you indicated to no result. My card works fine in Leopard, I just can't get QE enabled. As you can imagine, without QE, a few applications (such as Toast) won't open. As it seems others with the same card (2600 XT) have no problems, I have to assume my issues have something to do with my card's specific manufacture/model (Sapphire 2600XT model# 100218L, 512MB GDDR3 PCI-Ex 16x). I hate to keep asking, but if anyone has had a similar issue or knows of something to possibly try, please let me know! I'd love to get this working! Thanks!

wahwahman89 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Force check the extensions using the flag -f at booup. Try that. Also did you repair permissions? I think I read somewhere that full support is coming in 10.5.2 anyway... Good for you if you're using a stock kernel and PC_EFI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the -f boot flag, and it didn't help with enabling quartz extreme. I have repaired permissions. I have the driver working, just not quartz extreme support. By the way, do you have a link to where you read about the 10.5.2 support? I'm curious to read more. I am using stock kernal and PC_EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz101 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 will try 2600xt 10.5.2 9.2 EFI ... tomorrow ,... from what I heard, in 10.5.2 with the graphics update it should be supported native, have an Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R too,... card MSI 2600xt fanless 512MB ,.... replacing my 7300gs, really wanted to get the HIS version, it's a better design,... but found, somebody else got the MSI working with no problems,.... I'll post back my results and xbench,... currently , iatkos , EFI, not vanilla kernel, 7300gs, with netkas drivers, plan: -> 10.5.2 combo update, kernel update to 9.2, and graphics update,... oh, need to backup first,... if I got this straight,.... I can do the upgrades, and then install the graphics card, since the kext are loaded from kernel ?? is that right, or do I need to physically install graphics card first, before 10.5.2 ?
