ATI Radeon hd 5450

Install Chimera 1.7, delete ATI5000Injector, reboot, recognized as 5450

actually, if i use the flag PCIRootUID=0, then the graphic card is recognized as ATI 5000 Series. But my monitor works after sleep.
If i don't use this flag, my HDMI monitor won't resume from sleep ! But it is recognized as HD5450 Series

SUCCESS: ATI Radeon HD 5450

It was as easy as that to get HD 5450 running under Lion 10.7.2:

* visit the link
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... ded&start=
to the insanelymac-forum and extract the all-in-one zip file

* copy the ATI5000Injector.kext "file" (this is not more than a folder with just one file - the above mentioned plist file) to /System/Library/Extensions (/s/l/e)

thanks to user "whereareyouall" @ mac-forums.com

My System:
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-USB3-B3
Sapphire Radeon HD 5450
SSD Corsair Flash Force 3 120 GB
Intel Dual Core Pentium G680
LG Blu-Ray-Burner BH10LS

For some with the hd 5450 yes, for others no ..

The trick (thanks to machinist) is to find the correct PCIRootUID value via

ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI" | grep "_UID"

which will output a # (known values betw. 0 and 4, but higher values might appear)

then enter that value into the org.chameleon plist as follows:

<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>ur#</string>

also make sure you have the following entries in your plist

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Eulemur</string>

remove *ANY* EFI strings from device properties (best delete kex/string)

save

delete *any* grfx enablers from E/E and S/L/E

delete extension (if present) AND (mandatory step here!) kernel caches, in Lion: /System/Library/Caches/Startup

make sure you have a current Chameleon bootloader installed (e.g. via Chameleon Wizard, or Chimera)

reboot

see if EVERYTHING works (res. changes/ QE-CI e.g. by launching Chess/ multi-monitors/ DVD Player)

Sorry to just butt right in, but ... I'm just gonna.

I have my ATI Radeon HD 5450 working, but 1900x1080 comes in about 20% off the screen, so I have to use the next lowest graphics setting. I was hoping to try the "ATI5000Injector.kext" file to see if that would "fix" things, but it didn't.

I went here:
http://www.osx86.net/view/2465-ati-5450 ... ector.html

& downloaded the "ATI-5450_series_injector.rar" file. Sadly, I had to copy it to my Windows system to "unrar" it, then copy the .zip files back to my Mac to use. Unfortunately, copying the "ATI5000Controller.kext" file into /s/l/e didn't change anything for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

kexts merely copied into S/L/E (regardless of in OS X or via Win) won't load because their permissions have not been set. From Windows you can only copy kexts in E/E and hope they load. The ATI5000Injector.kext is said to load from E/E
