hello everyone. i am having problems getting my system to recognize my gigabyte 6850 in the system profile. It continues to show up as 6xxx. I currently have this hooked up via hdmi to my tv.
my system build is as follows:
ga-z68xp-ud3
i5 2500k
gigabyte radeon hd 6850 oc
4gb g skill 1600
installed lion via unibeast. after install, when attempting to load lion from hard drive, i would get to the apple loading screen then the display would turn off. typing PCIRootUID=o fixed this problem. I continued with running mulibeast with the user dsdt and checked appropriate boxes following the guide. Still had to continue using pcirootuid=0 to reach the login in screen. Upon searching the site, i have changed my boot.plist to this
I can now boot off the hard drive right to the desktop but i still continue to get 6xxx under my graphics card. i am able to open chess without crashing and vlc works. when i run ioreg | grep ATY in terminal i get
| | | | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@0 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002$
| | | | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@1 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002$
| | | | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@2 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002$
| | | | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@3 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002$
so from my understanding it is not loading the duckweed frame buffer. this is my first build and i am still learning here so any advice or help you can offer would be great. thank you.
