My specs:

 

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard w/ ULi-M1695 chipset

200GB SATA HDD

200GB ATA HDD

Sapphire ATI Radeon x1600 Pro 512mb AGP (Ven: 1002 Dev: 71c2)

Leo4Allv3

 

I installed the extensions and rebooted -- however, I got the black screen. I'm not quite sure what to do here, as I've gotten the black screen with the ATI x1600 drivers that came with Leo4Allv3. Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thank you so much for your efforts! It is greatly appreciated!

 

EDIT: Disabled most of the onboard hardware, but same results. ;) Disabled LAN, Audio, Serial, etc.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I tried Leo4Allv2 which had the same problem with the video and this is a fresh install of Leo4Allv3. I did remove all the kexts starting with ATI* and copied the new ones over then fixed permissions and deleted kextcache. I can't help but think that the problem has to do with my specific brand of video card (Sapphire).

I use Leo4Allv2, and everything works perfect.

Did you remove kexts which are installed before? I mean a clean installation may help you.

 

sapphire 1650pro 512mb PCIE. everything working (71C1, kozlowski, MacMan2007), however only one DVI. Cannot get dual monitor setup to work. will your method address this problem?

thanks

 

btw. what is different in your method from kozlowski and MacMan? in the end they all are just editing the kexts.

THANK YOU SO MUCH OP!!!!!!!!!!! I have been trying for the last 2 weeks to get my x1650 Pro AGP working. I had tried other things, like modbin and MacLovin's attempts, but none worked. YOU KICK ASS! :thumbsup_anim: I now use the extension permission repair app any time i make a change. Thanks! :D

Hi all, I've tried dionysossss' method but it doesn't quite work. I have a 512mb PCIe 71c2 from ASUS and after loading these kext files, I can finally switch resolutions, but it's really hard to read with all this patterned garbage on the screen.

 

Does anyone have an idea of what's causing this?

 

Here are some screenshots... the first is what happens on a normal boot. The second is a safe boot.

I've never used these kexts posted here, but since some people have a similar card to me (ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB 0x71c2), I'd just like to mention my method of getting my card to work with QE+CI.

 

As far as I remember, my method has worked from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 (I think I needed to hexedit at one point, but not any more). I still dislike it because I have to login before QE+CI and the proper resolution works, but ah well.

 

This is based on BorisBadenov method btw.

 

Actually theres no point in writing the whole thing up again, see here.

 

Some notes:

- I use nano instead of emacs, its just easier.

 

- When modifying the Info.plist of ATINDRV.kext, you'll realise what you're supposed to do doesn't make sense, this is because you need to modify the Info.plist of a plugin that works with your card, not the main Info.plist of ATINDRV.kext. For example, I know mine is "ATY,Wormy" so the Info.plist you need is: /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ATY_Wormy.kext/Contents/Info.plist.

 

- Instead of repairing permissions with diskutil, to clean up, just do:

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*
rm -v /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

- Also reboot with "-f"

 

And I think thats about it, have fun!

When you boot up into the darwin bootloader, it mentions press any key to enter boot options, do this, then at the prompt, type "-f" and press enter.

 

This might not even be needed, I use it as a precaution.

What card are you using?

 

I honestly don't know really, the only way I knew mine was from observing the boot messages when I used to use Natit on Tiger (old days :))

 

Then again, you could always just try the same as mine (ATY,Wormy) and see how it goes, its quite possible it will.

 

Need to know your card really.

 

EDIT: Found this:

Caretta = X1300, Wormy = X1600, Alopias = X1800, Sphyrna = X1900

I have a x1600 PCIE like you.

Actually i am running 10.5.2 with QE CI enabled, what should i do to update to 10.5.3?

I already tried using kalyway 10.5.3 combo update package, but i lost QE and CI.

Depends, you could (I think) restore your old 10.5.2 kexts (ATIRadeonX1000.kext, ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin, ATINDRV.kext) from a backup after you update to 10.5.3, or you could use the method I used on the newly installed 10.5.3 kexts.

 

Your choice :D
