Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) Just wanted to say, my fiddling with the framebuffer tables got reset when I installed Lion, because Lion has a new ATI6000Controller.kext which has different locations for its framebuffer tables. This meant that when I booted up the Lion...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) I found that -v let me know whether or not there was a major error, but didn't seem to actually boot into the requested framebuffer personality. So I would say no...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) I'm afraid I don't know about that. I compiled on 10.6.8, I'll try at some point to compile on Lion, but I doubt it would make any difference.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) I'm pretty sure it's the plain boot file - if you try and read it in a text editor, I think you'll find it's a binary file. Are you sure you've run make after editing ati.c?

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) No, you only need to change the ati.c file once - this is to stop it from being knull - when it is knull, it doesn't seem to load any of the framebuffer personalities you specify. It doesn't have to be the one you end up using, as the plist...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) It looks like you edited ati.c correctly and copied the boot file correctly - I found that when I did this it stopped a message: "Card not Supported" (or something like that) popping up on boot when GraphicsEnabler=yes was set. You shouldn't...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) You need to show all files - there's a utility to do that in the MultiBeast install, alternatively follow the instructions from my link to prasys' blog above - he mentions using killall and some other commands I can't remember.... The file you...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) I haven't tried this but you could try making your own usb dos bootdisk from tonyMac's instructions: http://macmanx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/creating-bootable-dos-usb-stick-on.html and then use AtiFlash -...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) The root of the drive is the top level of your disk that has Snow Leopard on. ie, cd / in terminal. The boot file that is there is where Chimera and Chameleon do most of their work in starting up the computer into MacOs. Hence, when you...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) ati.c is in the Chimera source code, in i386/libsaio. You'll need to use svn to check out the code if you haven't got it. Obviously this might be beyond most people. But instructions for doing this are here...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) Ok, so here is how I got my 6670 card working. Sorry for the long wait, this week turned out busier than I thought it would be! I should probably say that I'm still new to this, and have absolutely no idea if this will work for you...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) Well, I've been successful with my Sapphire HD 6670 card! I'll post some more info tonight - I had to modify the framebuffer table inside the ati6000controller.kext (this might be because I am only using DVI on my screen), and also change...

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) Erm, are we missing something here? None of the posts mention AtiConf.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (10-May) Well, I've managed to get rid of that - 2 ways: Firstly, simply removing GraphicsEnabler=Yes in the boot.plist file stops the unsupported card coming up, and as far as I can tell, everything still works the same - just no Framebuffer...

If you get a mac keyboard, it will work with windows 7. Wired is easier than wireless to setup, unless you have a dbt-120 and update the firmware on mac os - that will allow you to have a permanent connection to the wireless keyboard for windows 7.
