Has anyone got a HIS to fully work? My friend has the HIS 6870 and we have his mac hackintoshed, but I can't seem to get his updates working fully. Can't open steam etc.
Any issues anyone else try? I find it weird two different brands and one will work than the other. I did the same exact thing for my XFX and it works flawless and his HIS does not.
I have this HIS card, which is the reference design:

It works about as well as the other reference cards from other brands as far as I know. I'm running SL 10.6.7 Vanilla, patched DSDT, with Andy's modified Chameleon RC5 and MBP driver kexts and GraphicEnabler=yes.
The only reason I can think of where it won't work is if you haven't got the right version of Chameleon installed where you can specify the framebuffers, and are only using the MBP kexts by themselves. It'll work, but you wouldn't be able to launch most steam games or cinebench or DVD player.
My only issue is the way too bright gamma in source steam games, and maybe performance isn't super great (I blame the drivers). I can play any other games on it fine, though.
