Requirements:
- Multibeast 2.5.1 viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8155
- Device ID of 57XX or 58XX
- Snow Leopard Graphics update (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4286) or 10.6.5 combo update (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1326)
- (Optional) Kext Utility (see Multibeast > Advance > OSx86 Software > Kext Utility)

Determine your graphics card Device ID:
- From Windows Device Manager, look for the card's VEN and DEV ID's. You'll see something like PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6898. This string means that the card's VEN ID is 1002 and DEV 6898.
- The Device ID is in the format of 0x<DEV><VEN>. In this example, the card's Device ID is 0x68981002

Preparation:
- Install the Snow Leopard graphics update or 10.6.5 combo update. These update contains the ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext.
- Make an original copy of /System/Library/Extensions/ATI5000Controller.kext and /System/Library/Extension/ATIRadeonX3000.kext (in case you screw up).
- Edit /System/Library/Extensions/ATI5000Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist and add your Device ID. Look for "<string>0x68981002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 </string>" and insert your Device ID. My card's ID was already included, so you may not need to do anything.
- Also edit /System/Library/Extension/ATIRadeonX3000.kext/Contents/Info.plist to add your device id.
- (Alternatively) You can also edit the copies of ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext then install them with Kext Utility.
- Remove any graphics enabler kext, such as ATY_init or NVEnabler

Multibeast 2.5.1
- Systems Utilities - Rebuild Caches/Repair Permissions check both
- Advance Options
-- Chameleon - Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental
-- com.apple.boot.plist - 64-bit Apple Boot Screen

*Edit: add device id to ATIRadeonX3000.kext
 
May I correctly assume that the 5770 device ID does not have to be added as it is a standard GPU for Mac Pro's?

Is there anything special that has to be done on a new install?

Am I correctly assuming that GraphicsEnabler=Yes must be enabled?
 
@diver

I didn't assume that the device ID of my card (XFX 5870 HD-587X-ZNFC) was already included in the ATI5000Controller.kext. But it turned out that that the device ID was already there. It doesn't hurt to check.

The Device ID string that I posted in my earlier thread has all the ID's that comes OOB in ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext. If you don't have Windows, try searching interwebs for Device ID's.

Here are the default Device ID's already present in ATI5000Controller.kext:

0x68981002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002

And here are the Device ID's already present in ATIRadeonX3000.kext:

0x68881002 0x68891002 0x68981002 0x68991002 0x689C1002 0x689D1002 0x68801002 0x68901002 0x68A81002 0x68A91002 0x68B81002 0x68B91002 0x68BE1002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68C81002 0x68C91002 0x68D81002 0x68D91002 0x68DE1002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D01002 0x68D11002 0x68E81002 0x68E91002 0x68F81002 0x68F91002 0x68FE1002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68F01002 0x68F11002 0x67011002 0x67021002 0x67031002 0x67041002 0x67051002 0x67061002 0x67071002 0x67081002 0x67091002 0x67181002 0x67191002 0x671C1002 0x671D1002 0x67221002 0x67231002 0x67261002 0x67271002 0x67281002 0x67291002 0x67381002 0x67391002 0x67201002 0x67211002 0x67241002 0x67251002 0x67421002 0x67431002 0x67461002 0x67471002 0x67481002 0x67491002 0x67501002 0x67581002 0x67591002 0x67401002 0x67411002 0x67441002 0x67451002 0x67621002 0x67631002 0x67661002 0x67671002 0x67681002 0x67701002 0x67791002 0x67601002 0x67611002 0x67641002 0x67651002

New installs, you have to install either the Snow Leopard graphics update or 10.6.5 Combo update, but NOT Reboot, before you run Multibeast. Make your edits to ATI5000Controller.kext's and ATIRadeonX3000's Info.plist to insert the Device ID.

The Multibeast part to support these cards in 64-bit remains the same:
- Systems Utilities - Rebuild Caches/Repair Permissions check both
- Advance Options
-- Chameleon - Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental
-- com.apple.boot.plist - 64-bit Apple Boot Screen

*edit: added default device id in ATIRadeonX3000.kext.
 
Getting today my Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X (Should be 0x68B81002).
I'll try my existing GFX to change and but with iboot to make the changes.
(so only Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental to chnage).

Same config, zero problems, smooth install. Thanks.
 
With iBoot i got KP.
So booted with old GFX card, installed boot ATI experimental, installed new card.
Reboot, fine :) ... till now...
