Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (24-Aug)
Until Apple supports this GPU it will not be supported OOB.
It might work if you add it's device ID to the ATI kexts.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
Solved. Did a complete reinstall of Snow Leopard (10.6.8) using Multibeast 3.9, and DSDT for my MB. The graphics card is now being properly identified.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
@notshy - Thank you for adding my card information (from lspci) to the ati.c file. However, the default framebuffers are still loading as when I checked ioreg. I made sure I had the latest release of Chimera and rebooted again. Here is the output from ioreg:
I then also captured the printout of bdmesg when the drivers and framebuffers are loaded. The output doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe it will for you:
I am not using a DSDT as I don't think I have one for my motherboard but this is something I'm going to investigate. Perhaps it might help the problem.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
You would be better off upgrading to a card that is supported OOB.
The reason the default frame buffer is being used is due to you using an unsupported card. The ONLY HD 4800 that Apple supports out of the box is the HD 4870. Anything else requires patching of the drivers to add the device id and then there is no guarantees that it will work.fenrir2003 said:

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
Could you please give me some recomendations of a mid range card with 2 dvi or 2 hdmi ports that will work OOB?
Thank you

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
Hi guys!
First of all wanne give a big THANKS! that you helped me so much already with all your reply`s.
Can you give my some help to get me to the finish line.
i photograped everything. My Safari gets
stuck, so had to be inventive.
My system specifications:
Mobo : P5QDL- PRO
Ram : 8 GB Kingstons 800 MHZ
Videocard : XFX Radeon 6870 (ZDFC) 1002:6739. 1682:3103
So i have tried everything! From trying typing all the frambuffers, Looking in to the kexts.
But nothing helps.
So after when there are no kexts everything works till so far.
Even my bootloader looks funny check it.
And offcourse the LSPCI information with the bdmesg, ioreg | grep ATI
did not work.
Here is the Bdmesg information.
And this is my Boot Verbose mode information.
Thank you very much! I hope you guys can shed some light in the dark tunnel
.
I had a Nvidia GTX 260 and everything worked perfectly!
Till i bought the XFX ZDFC HD 6870. and when i tried to install the kexts.
the very first time i got in the GPU information Radeon HD NI40.
And after that always a black screen when it loads. but my snow leopard continues to load. strange.
Thanks agian.

Re: Adding ATI card IDs to ATI.c - update (8-Sept)
It seems that either one of the options Aticonfig=Ipomoea or Mangabey or Juncus just enables the graphic portion of this update in Chimera. I don't know what the difference is, apart from the fact the they have different ConnectorInfo. My card has 3 ports I guess. At least there are 3 ports to the backof it.
Ipomoea (which is probably the one I should be using?) enables another port (VGA display) that I am not using. When I went to check how many displays there were, it showed 2. There was a VGA display too. I had my dock to the right and I lost it because of it. So now I am using Mangabey.
My card is Sapphire 1Gb 6670 with those specs:
Vendor:0x1002
DeviceID:0x6758
Subsystem:174b:e194

1. The card's link to the website is: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentatio ... id=1&leg=0
2. lspci gives me these results3. I have uploaded a dump from IOregistryCode:sudo lspci -nnvd 0x1002: | grep -B2 Subsystem Password: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device [1002:6758] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Unknown device [174b:e194] -- 01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device [1002:aa90] Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Unknown device [174b:aa90]
4. and a screenshot from System Profiler
5. Finally, I have one monitor/TV(Samsung UE32D6530) connected to the HDMI port.
