Article: OS X 10.8.2 Update
Jaystrou:
Thanks for this post. It MIGHT go a way in explaining what went wrong with my Lion install, and why I seem to be having the same problem with ML.
1) I edited my ATI6000Controller.kext for Lion and got the Lotus FB loaded with full graphics acceleration and HDMI Audio
2) After some update, don't know where, don't know when, Lion quit seeing my card as other than HD6xxx
3) I installed ML on a separate partition, and can boot to either Lion or ML, but both fail to load a FB
4) Re-installing my edited ATI6000Controller.kext fails on both Lion and ML, and gives degraded graphics and NO audio
5) Reverting to the stock ATI6000Controller.kext on both Lion and ML restores audio
QUESTION: which specific versions of each kext referenced above did you use from Lion? Were any of them edited? I'm hoping that using older versions of ATISupport.kext and ATIFramebuffer.kext in conjunction with a (newly) edited ATI6000Controller.kext might get me back in the game, but I don't want to try just any old version of kexts from Lion, as I suspect that a Lion update is what trashed my fully recognized graphics setup.
Thanks again.

You are going to have to re-install the working ATI kexts from Lion to Mountain Lion using kextbeast. These are: ATI6000controller.kext, ATISupport.kext and ATIFramebuffer.kext in S/L/E. The update installed new drivers that do not work.
