Hi folks,
I have just setup my system using a Sapphire 5770 card using the iBoot ATI 5xxx method (Vervet) and it worked fine.
However I am waiting for delivery of the 27" Apple Cinema Display and as I had heard of problems using ACDs with non-Apple graphics cards I also ordered an Apple 5770 card.
This arrived today and I thought it would be a quick swap with the old card as they are both Radeon 5770 cards
BUT, now when the machine boots I see all the BIOS POST messages, then the Chameleon screen followed by the white screen with grey Apple logo, and then just when it should display the login screen the TV says "no signal" and goes black. I have tried all 3 outputs and it is the same for all of them.
I'm a complete novice at diagnosing hackintosh graphics issues, are there any wizards out there who can give me some suggestions on how to investigate this issue. I'll post progress back here if there is any.
I've heard of several different types of framebuffers, what are they exactly and how do you know which one to use with which card? Do I need to change something in my com.apple.Boot.plist perhaps?
Thanks all for any help, I would really like to get this card working.
