xavinoiz Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi guys this is my first post, this forum helped me a lot and i aways find a solution to my problems here. Well, not this time. Im tryin to install OSX in my main PC wich has a PCI-E ATI HD2400PRO (0x94c3) from Diamond, everything is going well until i try any driver for my videocard. Ive tryed like 5 different OSX installs, inumerous Natit's, triakis, and so on. In Leopard i get blue or black screen dependin on drivers, and for Tiger screen freezes at the grey apple. As soon as i remove Natit.kext it boots "fine" (No res change qe/ce). I have searched this and other forums for a solution but i just cant do it. Im starting to think theres no way to make this videocard to work in OSX. Any ideas guys?

Krazubu Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Tried to plug on the other output ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99956-diamond-ati-hd2400pro-pci-e-0x94c3-problems/#findComment-715880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavinoiz Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hey Krazubu, i forgot to mention, yes ive tried both outputs (an DVI and an VGA) and also tried the DVI->VGA adapter on the DVI output. At this point i think the drivers dont support my specific model (i dont see anyone using this card manufactured by DIAMOND). Ive successfully installed in other PC´s with other videocards, i know the basics of drivers and etc.. Maybe ill just trade my card for a similar but supported one like 7300GS/GT? thanks xavier Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99956-diamond-ati-hd2400pro-pci-e-0x94c3-problems/#findComment-718828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 You probably miss something, I doubt your model has anything specific that would prevent it from working. Read again the tutos, don't forget anything, it has to work. Random things to check : - Device IDs in all the required files (injecter + kexts) - Are the OSX and kexts versions correct - Is it the right injecter (Anyway, I move the thread to hardware graphics forum, Xlabs is supposed to be a place for development) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99956-diamond-ati-hd2400pro-pci-e-0x94c3-problems/#findComment-719171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavinoiz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 thanks and sorry krazubu.. it was too late when i noticed that. ill have another "try session" today, double checking everything. Ive found more ppl having same problems with same dev id i got, in this thread {HOW TO} ATI Radeon HD 2400 / 2600 / 2900 / 3850 / 3870 on Leopard, Full QE/CI/OpenGL & DVI - it is easier than you might think . Anyway i got a deal and will change my card for a 8400GS in a few days, hoping for better luck with that one. Thanks and bb Xavier Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99956-diamond-ati-hd2400pro-pci-e-0x94c3-problems/#findComment-721880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavinoiz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Finally i did it. Ill write a little resume here. Remember this is for Leo 10.5.2: 1. This video card has a DVI and a VGA output. Make sure you have your monitor connected to the DVI output BUT using the DVI->VGA adapter. The VGA output DONT work after the video card is recognized. 2. Followed this instructions -> [HOW TO] ATI Radeon HD 2400 / 2600 / 2900 / 3850 / 3870 on Leopard (Credits to mcsmart) 3. Rebooted, altough my card is been recognized as HD2400XT, everything went fine, i could change res, but no QE/CI. 4. Opened Terminal and typed: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AtiRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist and replaced one of the Dev ID for 0x94c31002, CTRL+O to save. 5. I rebooted and still no QE/CI so i opened Terminal again and typed: sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info After this i rebooted and yes, got QE/CI and Rotation. But Dual Screen is not working (Dang, a must for me). ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2400 Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x94c3 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B1480A-236 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.236 Displays: SyncMaster: Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected So, i got my 8400GS on the way, is there any chance to get Dual Monitors working with it? Its something i really need. Thanks everyone, i hope i can help ppl having the same issues.

Darwinson Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey guys just have to say im really new at this but after 6 hours of readings this is the eassaies and most effecient way i found QE work Dell inspiron 530s 1.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GB Ati HD2400Pro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99956-diamond-ati-hd2400pro-pci-e-0x94c3-problems/#findComment-1055119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have now any DVI adapter (maybe I'll try one on Mondays), but after three or four reinstallations I can only have Leopard using safe mode. The rest of times I have tried to install drivers for this card I have had blue screens.

ffxireks Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi guys. I have been reading through all these threads about the ati hd 2400 pro problems and i am trying to get QE/CI to work but like you guys experinced i got the screen with garbled out put after boot up too but then... I found the FIX!!!!! I changed the device id in the AtiRadeonX2000.kext/info.plist then in the com.apple.boot.plist i added the lines <key>GraphicsEnabler</key><string>y<string> then installed Triakis_2400_2600_3800.zip, then deleted the extension.mkext. I rebooted and i can change the resolutions and i have full QE/CI support. Im running iAtkos v7 with an Ati HD 2400 Pro device id 094c3.
