[Solved] Asus Radeon HD 5450 Silent and Mountain Lion w/ Dual Monitors?
After quite a long time I finally figured out how to get my HD5450 to work using the kexts from the thread below.
http://www.osx86.net/view/3043-ati_radeon_hd5450_with_full_qe-ci_support.html
I was able to get this working by adding 0x68E11002 to the IOPCIMatch sections of both AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext & ATI5000Controller.kext. I added multiple times into every section of the ATI5000Controller.kext, even though I'm pretty sure I just needed it to be added under the Cedar section. This seemed to be a big bit of info that seemed to be lacking on many threads I read, that the IOPCIMatch values show up multiple times in the file, which I was unaware of.
I'm also a bit hit and miss as far as everything working. The animations seem smooth, the menu bar is translucent, but Chess still crashes when I load it.
Now the problem I have is that I only have one functioning monitor. The DVI connected monitor is working fine, but not the VGA one. I've read from a couple different sources and wasn't able to find anything definitive on the topic, especially since usable ML install instructions seem to be pretty sparse still. I tried changing the AtiConfig to Shrike, Hoolock, Orangutan, Baboon, Vervet all with no result after reading a few different articles about Lion troubleshooting.
With my Lion setup I was able to get QE/CI using this same card, but with GraphicsEnabler=No and no AtiConfig setup. Is there something I'm missing here?
