Ati 5670 detected as 5000 series

[Josh4rmUK]

Hi i have tried forcing all the framebuffers from the 5xxx list with little success. Most of them let me boot but in System Profiler my card is only detected as 5000 series.

When booting with -v i see a line saying "ATi Redwood ATi Radeon 5670 (Baboon)" or something similar. I have tried using the line

AtiConfig=Baboon -v

but my card is still only detected in System Profiler as "ATI Radeon 5000 Series".
How do i get my card detected as a 5600 Series card and with my 16:9 (1920x1080) resolution?

Thanks

Any help? if i dont force the framebuffer i get the default Baboon Framebuffer but i only get 4:3 and 16:10 resolutions. If i set GraphicsEnabler=No then i get my resolutions but geekbench crashes.

I'm currently working on this problem myself. Ive got a Sapphire Radeon HD5670 Flex edition. I wasn't able to get it to run under Chimera properly. Netkas helped me out with some patches to PCEFI to get it working. I'm still trying to figure out the display outputs (I want to use 3 DVI) That will be tonight's project. I'll post more as I discover it.

Hi,

Currently using Sapphire HD5670 1GB. Lion recognise the card as 5600 series with GraphicsEnabler=Yes. Monitor detected correctly and all resolution avail up to 1680x1050.

If I set GraphicsEnabler=No, card is recognised as 5000 series but dvd and geekbench crash.

Using a Gigabyte H61M motherboard with DSDT downloaded from Tonymacx86.

Your saying you had 1920x1080 out of the box with the 5670 and with graphics enabler = yes? thats odd how did you install OS X. (quick tutorial please).

Hi,
As mentioned, I get 1680x1050 max and that is the native resolution for my monitor ( a Phillips 22 inch). Not 1920x1080.

Installed Lion using 10.6.8 SL, then Xmove & Multibeast as provided here.

 

[Josh4rmUK]

i also have a Philips LCD 24inch screen, i think i do get 1650x1050 with graphicsenabler =yes but then next one up is 2500x1050 and it skips my 1920x1080.

Maybe can try to add this to com.apple.boot.plist :
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>

if i do that with GE=Yes it just turns it to no and again detected as 5000 series
